BoztheMadman Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Re: Thomas "Hitman Hearns is 56 today - What are your thoughts on him? My thoughts? He's awesome. Thats all I got to say on him. The embodiment of everything a perfect fighter must have. Save for a chin, heh. But I don't think his chin was as bad as many say-Barkley hit hard and hit him with a damn hard shot. Against Marvelous Marvin he was defenseless as he broke his right hand and just got pummeled down, took quite a lot of leather before going down. Otherwise, when he was in his mode, he was the ultimate destroyer machine. :boxing: Love you Tommy! Bless you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Re: Thomas "Hitman Hearns is 56 today - What are your thoughts on him? What are your thoughts on Hearns the fighter and his career? --- Looked a damned sight better in your former avatar than your current fluffy 4 legged muffin. Lose a bet and forfeit your avatar? Oh to have Hearns in the 154 mix today, but he had his place in the sun of a epic period of boxing, so no regrets there, we were as blessed to bear witness.

robprosser Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Re: Thomas "Hitman Hearns is 56 today - What are your thoughts on him? I think the Leonard and Hagler losses were mainly due to his warrior mentality. Everytime he was hurt he stood and fought it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GianMan Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Re: Thomas "Hitman Hearns is 56 today - What are your thoughts on him? A real freak of nature, that much size and power in the welterweight division was a scary feat to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
