Tommy Hearns was involved in some all-time barnburners.

It’s really a shame boxing isn’t like this anymore. These threads always bring back good memories.

Motherfucker!!
About 15 years ago I was on some boxing website, and I ordered a box set of all durans fights on dvd.
Few weeks later it arrived. It was just a bunch of dvds some guy burned on his computer. Was cool as fuck, he’d got all his recorded (on video) fights and sent them me.

Nowadays I’m sure the internet provides all that anyways, but it was cool to have them on dvd

The Hitman is my favorite boxer ever.

That is a wild ko because of how iron-chinned Duran was. He never got touched up like that before or after.
Truly the golden age of boxing in my lifetime. Benitez, Palomino, Hagler, Arguello, Salvador Sanchez, Ray Leonard, Mancini, Wilfredo Gomez, Duran, Monzon, Julian Jackson, Aaron Pryor, etc.

My NHB/MMA library was 99% vhs, but I agree it was cool having them all. Makes me sad looking back on all the cool shit I gave away.

I did that with Gatti/Ward, but it was a low quality VHS they sent.

I won’t post the gif cause I don’t want to trigger certain individuals but the greatest KO in combat sports history is simply Gabriel Gonzaga v. Cro Cop
Perfect combo of shocking/surprising and pure brutality
