Just love Tommy Hearns he never boasted never trash talked he was a devastating puncher and did his talking in the ring. Total respect for this man

[@McD5791]

and the one time he did trash-talk (against Hagler), that was more about trying to promote the fight than showing animousity or disrespect.

Amen to that 💯👏👏👏

[@sherrillraymond7595]

I'm going to say this if Tommy Hearns would've punched me like that I would've came out the corner the next round with a baseball bat

[@joeblow2069]

Tommy did his fair share of trash talk. Just not the retarded trash talk of the next generation. He was not shy about telling you how he was going to knock you out.

[@JAMwithGeo]

I worked with Jeff and spoke with him about this fight. He said he didn't remember anything after the first knockdown. He was a low key easy going guy.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Just the simple fact he lasted as long as he did was a testament to his toughness.

[@joeblow2069]

Thank you Tim Ryan for saying that Hearns was born in Memphis. So many announcers assume he was born in Detroit. 1 of 9 kids you know there was hardship there. L In the Legendary nights for Hearns vs Hagler Ralph Wiley talks about Hearns coming to Kronk to learn how to fight because he was tired of getting his coats stolen. That always gets to me.

[@sherrillraymond7595]

I didn't know that

[@ringmasterjeb3453]

Have this on VHS. Love TOMMY for life !!!!

[@sherrillraymond7595]

I bet MC Craken was impressed by the Hit Man's punching power after this

[@DavidMccallister65]

Hearns' footwork in the 6th round was a thing of beauty. Damn

[@bryantcruel4987]

Tommy Hearns is one of the best in the history of this great sport.

[@jordancooke5980]

Damn right

[@exNZFS]

Totally agree me man

[@lxlshyne]

He’s my favorite boxer we’re both about he same height very lanky w lean muscle though. My boxing coach tells me to practice his style

[@cade9173]

@@lxlshyne you should. If you can pull off his style you’ll be really fucking good

[@markaveson6263]

My favourite fighter of all time

[@kevindean1327]

Back in the day I'd go to department stores to watch fights on their TVs. I've watched fights standing on the street watching TVs in store Windows too. We're talking 80s here I grew up in the country and there wasn't even the option of having cable. I'd read the TV guide and on Saturday and Sunday I'd have to figure out where I could watch the fights. I also used to listen to them on the radio. I listened to Duran Leonard and Ali Berbick on the radio.

[@stevenmitchell2996]

Hearns has had a great boxing career. What a great fighter he was and he'll remain a great of the sport. Big respect to him.

[@rexscipio3344]

And McCracken said that he didn't respect Hearns' power. He learned the hard way.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

I honestly think he was just trying to get his courage up. He take a pounding though before he was finally finished.

[@roldangonzalez7360]

That was an excellent stoppage by the referee, Tommy totally out classed McCracken.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Agree. There was no way Jeff was going to win at that point. Very humane job by the ref.

[@freedomofspeech2238]

Wish I could go back in time and convince my parents to pay for cable TV and watch these classics :O

[@thomasp3865]

This fight was on free network TV. CBS

[@borood1188]

He was crackin’ McCracken

[@tirrellsharrock]

Hearns stared this guy down

[@ezsmith3765]

As far as Hearns not remembering sparring with his opponent.... Likely it was a HUGE life highlight to one guy and another day at the office, another face (with headgear on)... to the other guy. You can guess which is which

[@lyrical20]

Tommy Hearns was an absolute BEAST in the ring! If only he had a better chin...

[@marcelinoramos4580]

Thank you

[@anthonychavez1906]

Hey Jeff as you were saying about Hearns’ punching power?

[@ratcitywoodwork]

Happy birthday Tommy Hearns

[@andyaim4764]

Tommy ducked Jeff’s brother Phil… fact! Apparently Tommy saw a brutal bout between the Scottish boxer Ben Doon and Phil McCraken and wanted not part of that.

[@ariesmoises8947]

It looks Thomas could me a great baseball player that why he moves . Great athlete

[@alablksnakelonghalfpintowh4038]

OoooraH! Jeff! You gave me my money's worth.

[@austinoldfield5246]

Why are his shorts so dam high? That’s really frustrating lol

[@200littleman]

That was the style back then 😂

[@damink7497]

Tommy was a couple rounds away from beating sugar ray and man who knows tommy was also beating hagler and damn ya know tommy really is one of the best ever no doubt

[@JonB44DD]

I have to disagree with you on the Hagler fight. Hagler was only in trouble because of the cuts. Other than that, Hagler took Hearns to school the way he came up the ranks. What I saw about the Hitman, was the same thing I saw from a boxer from Florida. The only difference is the Hitman was a hell of a boxer, who fell in love with the ability to put guys to sleep. Had he trained for going the distance, he would have easily whupped Ray Leonard and possibly took Hagler the distance.

[@kufujitsu]

If Hearns fought Hagler the way he fought Benitez, he would have had a shot at beating him. But Hearns was coming off that early KO against Duran, & he got too caught up in the Hagler/Hearns pre-fight hype, which was about whether or not Hearns could do the same thing to Hagler that he did to Duran Hearns should have boxed Hagler like Leonard did.

[@luisvasconcellos1061]

Hearns poseía puños de acero y barbilla de algodón. Inolvidables sus combates,o ganaba x KO o caía por la misma vía; a pesar de su hándicap,era valiente y se fajaba hasta el último aliento. Mi respeto y admiración para Tommy Hearns. Dsd BsAs,Argentina.

[@georgenedelkoffnedelkoffu833]

6"2"" is big for a middlleweight!

[@AndreaTarzanelli]

The beauty of Thomas Hearns is over the top

[@Jj-ty7qh]

Wrong thing to say by McCracken before taking on the “Hit Man”

[@huflungdung8252]

Was Jeff related to Phil?

[@DirtyCityMick]

The great Phil Mcrackin

[@DavidMccallister65]

I wonder if McCracken still thinks The Cobra doesn't have any power🤔

[@charlesworkman8133]

My favorite Hearns fights are his welterweight bouts. When he was on the come up. When he could still make that weight. He just came out for the first round and tape measured their chins. And when the second round came he unleashed rapid fire punishment. Those little dudes were helpless. When he got to Middleweight he was still tall for the weight, but not two weight classes below his height like his earlier years. Makes Tyson that much more impressive knowing that he was usually fighting somebody 4 to 8 inches taller and that didn't count for shit for 4 years. I disagree with pundits about Tyson injecting life into a stagnant heavyweight division. The division was far stronger under Holmes. Holmes just doesn't get his due because he almost killed Ali. The best fighter Tyson whipped was Holmes, and then #2 was Spinks who was an unworthy champion to begin with. Besides that, those Tubbs, Tucker, Smith, Berbciks were all trash. Buster Douglas for one night in Tokyo was the best heavyweight between Tyson and Lewis. Buster in shape was pretty impressive. And Tyson still had him KOd Its so funny that Hagler KOd Hearns, but Tommy still gets more love. I think it's because the American people love Detroit and hate Boston. As it should be. Only Boston bitches like Boston.

[@John-wg1jh]

I know his brother, Phil. 😀

[@marktorak5578]

McCraken very confident before the fight.Hearns totally dominated McCraken. The Hearns punching power was there dont know what McCraken was taking about

[@alablksnakelonghalfpintowh4038]

I can't relate to people being belittled by Ray loernard. Duran punked him in their first fight

[@thomasmoody8708]

Like many others here, I wonder what McCraken thought of Hearn's punching power after this bout...

[@smartvyoutube1335]

Barkley,Lenard,Hagler,Barkley 2

[@georgenedelkoffnedelkoffu833]

M'Cracken doesn't have the punch rate to bother Hearns , too long between punches , he reacting not fighting .

Marvin Hagler best there ever was

Tommy siempre pelea con ventaja por su alcance.

[@joedanache7970]

[@brianmorecombe2726]

I thought Hearns was a legend but he had that legendary glass chin,he`d go down quiet easily.Nigel Benn was at one time looking to fight him and i think would have sparked him.But he ran into Chris Eubank.

[@kevindean1327]

He didn't have a great chin but he was only stopped a couple times so he had a decent chin, he was no Amir Khan!!! But he wasn't Jake LaMotta either. I think him coming in at 145 for the first Leonard fight caused stamina issues, He had Hagler wanting to kill him on the press tour, and Barkley was his cryptonite. Aside from that his chin took him to the top of the game. Another thing to consider is that knockout artists sacrafice defense to a degree because they don't play it safe so they're susceptible to being countered. Did Tyson have a good chin? I think so but he was stopped more times than Tommy.

[@samuelloli8203]

Jeff hada chin man ,but couldn't take much body shots ,

[@blainegriffith7119]

No Tommy dosen’t hit hard at all aye Jeff???

[@question_it_701]

Thomas Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, Buster Douglas (RIP) , Riddick Bowe, Meldrick Taylor, Muhammed Ali (RIP)), plus many many more all sound the exact same. All the same slurred, mumbled speech. Repeated head shot damage. Sad. What other big names am I missing? And I'm guessing this is why so many of them fade from public view.

[@borood1188]

Buster Douglas is not dead.
