I watched Hearns/Hagler last night, what a fight, maybe the greatest three round fight ever. I loved Tommy but I know nothing of his last fight against Shannon Landberg. Has anyone ever seen it? :huh:huh:huh
Never seen any and I remember looking quite a few years ago Landberg wasn't a big name, and Hearns finished
I'm sure I read an interview with Mayweather Snr recently in which he said Hearns and himself could be fighting each other this summer.
Thing is Hearns looks great but his speech is terrible. Not sure if he always spoke like that or if he's punchy. Mayweather looks like a derelict but talks OK. If these old guys want to fight, let them, who are we to say what they can and can't do? Hearns takes him in a round - :happy:happy:happy:happy:happy
Tommy never was the clearest speaker, but I was watching the HBO legendary fight on Hagler-Hearns the other day, and hearing Tommy's voice from 1985 to today, he's clearly 'punchy'. He should never have been cleared to fight in 2006, and if he was again today, that's an absolute disgrace
I'm sure I read it on here a couple of months ago in an 'On The Ropes' interview. Truth is it shouldn't be allowed, but what can you do? Virgil Hill is also on the comeback.
I heard Hill say that on Bunce's show the other day. He claimed Freddie Roach was encouraging him to do so, which surprised me.
I think I have clips on tape of the fight with 3 seconds or so on SportsCenter. The fight was shown on Fox TV for the Michigan area I remember, since I was not there I didn't get or I would have . Hearns fought two guys in that time, 2005 John Long ko8 and Shannon Landberg I think ko 10. What I understand he didn't look sharp at all and his right hand was off because of rust and age. When he was young these guys wouldn't have last a few rounds. I was happy enough he went enough rounds because I thought it would get the rust off, but he never fought after Landberg.
Hearns vs. Floyd Sr? Hearns was a great and FLoyd a joke. Hearns would have demolished him years ago. Floyd Sr. was a club fighter compared to Hearns..
I been looking for this fight aswell. To think he fought in 2006 is amazing. O Hearns ko over Mayweather sr
