Thomas Hearns was the first 5 weight champion in boxing history. Easily one of the hardest punchers ever, he went to war with a generation of greats.

The Cobra turned Hit Man Thomas Hearn’s was a Welterweight hitting like a heavyweight. I witnessed this everyday in basement of the Old Kronk Gym in Detroit. It was electrifying everyday. Y’all don’t know everyday at kronk was the first ever house dog rules not Mayweather gym, Floyd witnessed this at an early age with Floyd Sr and Rodger the real Black Mamba. Facts not hearsay, don’t believe Me!!!! Look this youngest up! Bernard Mays then come back and leave a message other then that I won’t reply back to you.

Sure. But Benitez was the youngest regardless of weight class to win a title. Benitez went 15 rounds with Sugar Ray Leonard probably with the same killer instinct as the Leonard of the 14th round of Leonard v Hearns 1. He defeated Duran in 15 rounds. And went the distance with Hearns for 15 rounds. AKA the El Radar, he was one of the best defensive fighter ever. In fact I think he would be a tough fight for Floyd Mayweather Jr if they fought. I feel like Mayweather wins. But man, Benitez was awesome

I missed the introduction of “Angel Espada”. So as the fight is going on, the narrator seems to say “He wasted no time to rain punches on “His faddah”. “Also digging to his faddah’s ribs with withering body work”. It made me hyperventilate from laughing thinking he was fighting his own father until i realized i got it wrong. 😆 And then mexican champ fah peno Quevas? First Hearns is fighting his Faddah, now some kind of genitalia disease, a penile Quevas? 😆🤣 .What is this? 😆🤣

Halleluyah glory to Yahushua's holy name for another days journey through the tunnels of this life,and to be alive this moment in time..to reflect on one of, the greatest champion of all times.. especially coming from my hometown. the motor city had always been a hot bed for boxing greats. Tommy Herns was truly, the praying Mantis of boxing...even his lost to , another true champion, Sugar Ray Leonard.. whom was truly the , Mongoose of Boxing 🥊 we all know Tommy had made a mistake in a fight that was a takeaway..with 8 rounds in the bag, but he did exactly what Sugar Ray Leonard did in , Duran/ Lenard first fight .. fighting your opponent's fight..is a no go! on their second encounter..the crooked boxing Media robbed Tommy and even Lenard admitted,that decision was a bit suspect. nonetheless watching The lightning, predator flash, of a Praying Mantis with those two long piston like strike force arms ...was what we came to see, they popped up out of nowhere.. Thank you so much,for putting this mini sires documentary together.. It was truly a riot to see ,two truly great former reval champs hanging out with, the Wolverine of Boxing who's Front Claws are like ,iron knives..which not even a Grizzly bear could stand . Iron Mike Tyson , Tommy and Sugar Ray, were hilarious 😂 may Aba Yah bless you all.
