Hearns Top 5 performances??

It didn't leave me in awe per se, but his win over a then undefeated Virgil Hill I thought was fabulous, especially considering he was almost totally written off beforehand...even moreso when considering Hill didn't lose again for about 6 years.

 

1-Duran
2-Cuevas
3-Benitez
4-Hill
5-Leonard II

 

Regardless of how it ended Hearn vs Hagler is by far the best performance of Tommy's career!

 

Hagler

 

I think Cuevas is my favorite performance. He looked like a freak of nature. Duran was the most spectacular, though.

 

No, it's one of his worst, he fought the worst possible fight. I'd say. 1. Duran 2. Cuevas 3. Benitez 4. Leonard 1 5. Virgil Hill

 

that first round was badass

 

Curry fight was an underrated performance. Thought he looked bad but showed lots of heart against Hagler and Roldan. He did in every fight TBH. My fav performances from Tommy off the top of my head are Leonard II, Duran, Cuevas, Benitez, Hill, and actually Barkley II despite losing as well as Leonard I.

 

I like his performances in both the leonard fights , outboxing the best boxer on the planet twice!!!

Just didnt finish like he wanted to.

 

it was a great fight for Hagler and boxing history,but Tommy fought the wrong fight. Tommy knocking out Roberto and getting confidence with that fight and then Marvin and Thomas not liking each other much and ego made them war like that. But Marvin was the natrural middleweight.

 

Tommy's best fights?
Benitez
Cuevas
Duran
Hill
Leonard 2

And those fights were at 154, 147, 154, 175,168 across all the weights. Shuler was his best middleweight performance.

 

Cuevas or Duran. Chased a top fighter around the ring and beat him like a child. Duran, took a ATG and disposed of him like he was nothing.

 

Good thread! It''s about time the hit Man got some love here.

 

I think Hearns' legs were gone before the fight, he received a deep tissue massage. Manny Steward and Tommy's gameplan was to box Hagler on the backfoot for 15 rounds. Before the fight, Tommy said his legs were shaking, he knew he couldn't box Marvin for 15 rounds. That's why they changed at the last minute to go right after Marvin and go for the quick KO.
