    Thomas Hearns was born October 18 1955 and campaigned in 6 divisions from WW to CW. He started boxing in 1977 and when he retired in 2006 he had a record of 61-5-1 48 KO's 4 losses by KO. Two time Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year, he was the first fighter to win 5 titles in 5 different divisions, breaking his own record of being the first to win in 4 different divisions. Born in Grand Junction Tennessee but raised from the age of 5 in Detroit Michigan he got his start under the great Emanuel Stewart. Not only was he one of the Greatest of all Time but he also happened to be in 2 of the greatest matches of all times as well. His matches with Hagler and Leonard are the stuff of Legend. So Check Out the Hitman of Motown in all his Iconic Glory.:bbb:bbb:bbb:bbb

    Leonard said after the 2nd fight with Hearns, he felt Hearns won. Leonard always claimed to be 1-1 against Hearns, not 1-0-1 as the record stands.

    Happy Birthday Champ...!!! Boxing needs more guys like the Fab Four

    Definitely could change the current landscape
    GGG would have a tough time fending him off with his 70" reach

    Floyd hasn't fought one person better than a single boxer in that entire list of fighters during his entire career. He had chances to make fights but his low risk approach will be frowned upon in history.
