Marvin Hagler vs. Thomas Hearns 27 years ago today on April 15, 1985!!

Classic of classics. Kind of puts in perspective the garbage we call 'PPV Event Boxing' these days.

 

No vid come one guys !

27 years?? Wow. Never thought I would think of this fight as almost 30 years ago.

 

More years have gone by since the fight than Thomas Hearns was old at that time. He was 26 in 1985.. Hagler was only 30.

 

Imagine a 24/7 with these 2 !!

This was the golden era of boxing ! The age of Men!

 

i was going to make my own thread but its my damn photoshop i did and hope ya like it and if a picture says a 1000 words then what the **** does this one SAY?

but next month we can add one of these guys to the mix and make that champ count get to a nice more EVEN number of champs at "8" and up for grabs is that ever elusive interim world title....

Actually I have seen better back and forth action none stop action fights than The War in recent years. Not saying the War wasn't great, just saying Boxing has given us some Classics in recent years. Not all are PPV events are garbage, just the Mayweather and Hopkins ones(not all of them), and some Pac ones.

 

we all know Martinez is the #1 fighter at that division, why didn't you just put his picture? can't blame him when other fighters holding "world tittles" won't fight him.

 

Neither of the current champs has a chance in hell against Hagler..

 

Mayweather and Hopkins which ones? Pacman has been in wars I agree.

 

why would i do that? my goal is to point out what a ****ing joke BOXING is...NOT SERGIO....hes just a pawn... you can ignore :shock: 8 ****ing middleweight champions if you want but...maybe some shame will float around and something will be done about it...

 

It's been that long? I watched the fight in the Philippines and rememebered reading the paper the next day that 2 Hearns fans (in the Philippines) suffered heart attacks and died the moment their favorite fighter hit the canvas.

 

Good job mate. That picture reflects perfectly the overall feeling that pours out from boxing today. Pieces of what is left from a great era.
