Tommy hearns walked into a chicken shack where i worked about 8 years ago. He was wearing a suit and had a hat with a feather and had two big body guards with him. No one at my work knew who he was. He asked my coworker several questions about the chicken and ended up getting it grilled because all of the msg in the breading. A middle aged black guy walked in and freaked out and then we all knew who he was. He was all smiles, very humble, and even spoke to me individually for a few minutes while he ate. I didnt realize what a legend he was until i got home and watched his old fights. Definitely the greatest athlete ill ever meet.

Rogan doesn’t give Hearns enough credit in this fight. Haggler was so beaten and bruised by Hearns at the end of the second round, his manager had to cut his swelling eye or the ref wouldn’t have let him return for the 3rd round. Haggler then got very lucky with that punch. Had Hearns just finished that round he would have won by TKO - easily.

I remember Hagler say that Tommy "Hit him so hard, that he knocked the little hair I had off."

Watching Hagler/Hearns never gets old. I was a fan of Hagler but I was really scared after what Hearns did to Duran.

Hagler vs Mugabe is the ultimate lesson in war of attrition, and pure power punches all day.

[@rory693]

Great fight outdoors. Steam coming off Hagler’s head.

[@soulbrother7144]

Totally agree.

[@akhenatenamarna484]

Greatest fight ever. Ruined mugabi and softened up hagler for sugar ray

[@jamaaldaynitelong8367]

I don't know if they make fighters like that anymore.

[@stevebowness9435]

Great fight also Hagler's toughest 💪

[@ckom0007]

I still have the poster from this fight. Greatest ten minutes of sports I’ve ever seen!

[@chop1116]

Hagler was top 5 all time. Never KO'd, never close to getting stopped, just a monster. But was so technical and smart.

[@adanvaldcontreras4283]

Greatest fight in history. 👏

[@paulwehrly1000]

This fight turned me into a boxing nut! Never forget it, was 12 when I watched it(on tape) to be there would have been off the wall! Absolute legends

[@BANDIT2DAY]

Hagler, Hearns fight was on my KZbin feed and it brought me here😂

[@tdolan1991]

Mugabi actually got ko'd by Terry norris

[@danielmayen6545]

Hagler took his soul though

[@mindymalone494]

Mugabi never had a soul to take, he never fought nor beat anybody ever. They hyped Hagler too how they cornered him out of the belt market, truth was the belts were changing hands to fast. Hagler is a liar.

[@chop1116]

@@mindymalone494 Pretty much the dumbest post ever.

[@Johnjohn-gq3du]

toe jackson so what. mugabi was a freak beast who came up short against the greatest md weight ever. So Norris won. Yeah. Mugabi was a ko freak who lost to Marvin. So what. Don’t bring me into your trumpian world of anti circular logic. Wait. I’m here. NOOOO!!!

[@alexroyster182]

After he and Hagler had a 11 round war. He was never the same after that brutal beating. Only after That fight did Leonard want a piece of Hagler. He saw that Hagler lost a step and then wanted to get him in the ring.

[@whiskeyslick2456]

Best fight I ever saw was Aaron Pryor vs Alexis Arguello I (not II). I was in the hospital that night and I literally removed the IV from my arm, got dressed and split without authorization because there was no way in hell I was going to miss that fight. I was a boxing fanatic back then, knew that styles make fights, so I knew that fight had the potential to be a classic, but it was even better than I thought it might be. Best fight I have ever seen. It's on KZbin. If you haven't seen it, watch it.

[@ewooll]

Saw it at the time on TV. Always felt sorry for Arguello cos he was fighting an immovable object. Rumour has it that Prior was 'roided, which as with Holyfield, make them immune to punches and pain.

[@20oldenough]

Can't remember but I think that fight was at junior welter weight. Rumor was that Leonard, Hearns and every other welter weight was ducking the Hawk (He was crazy good and would have easily transitioned to the higher weight class). But not Arguello, that guy had the heart of a champion. There was just no quit in that guy. Kind of reminded of the way the Condit vs Lawler fight went down (for an MMA comparison). No quitting, both men were willing to die in the ring. That is one of the things that helps the MMA - no Don Kings! The promoters and the ability to duck and avoid fights just isn't in the MMA nearly like it was in the boxing world. Not sure if Pryor was juicing or not but everyone knew he was drugged up on coke. All the more respect to Alexis for never mentioning any of that and the two actually became good friends. Arguello was another who died far too young.

[@marcvivian8889]

Still jump around like a 12 year old girl on XMAS morning watching Hagler VS Hearns. Simply marvelous.

[@dabeastfromdaweast9788]

Originally Hagler/Hearns was billed as "The Fight," it would later become recognized as "The War."

[@lwwarren9485]

Hearns broke his hand, he couldn’t keep him off after that!

[@garrettshore]

This fight was even more insane than Rogan seems to realize. By round 2, Hearns style HAD to change not because of some tactical strategy, but because he had already broken his hand in round 1. The time-out at the start of round 3 was because Hagler was bleeding pretty bad and the doctor was called to advise. Hagler was no stranger to unfair scoring from judges, and was immediately paranoid that the fight would be called. In lieu of this urgency, and sensing hearns handicap, Hagler went all in. There is no fighter who ever lived who had Haglers training ethic. he isolated himself in cape cod in the winter and would run at 3 am on frozen beaches w negative temp wind chill to condition his lungs and body to pain. He was more monk than showman. ppl didnt understand him, which is probably why he never got the respect he deserves.

[@optimalpowersimracing6625]

The first round was simply amazing! The way those two dudes come out swinging, literally trying to know the other guys block off, its a rare thing, and a special treat! Incredible.. The greatest first round in the history of the sport

[@HulkVahkiin]

RIP to the toughtest middleweight ever. That fight with Hearns rightfully earned the name "The War".

[@trillj8636]

My father was at the fight. He had a chance to get some gloves signed but someone had stole the gloves he brought. Funny shit.

[@randycole5907]

Watching Hagler & Hearns was like watching a street fight. It was amazing.

[@seabrook1976]

Damn, I remember recording that fight. Watched it a thousand times.

[@CornholioPuppetMaster]

Hagler/hearns and leonard/Duran 1 were 2 of the best boxing matches I’ve ever seen
