Roy was a gentleman for stepping in between those guys
“We still are” had me rolling 😂 😂
it’s so wholesome seeing rivals get along together after years
They don't.
Tommy Hearns was so scary in his prime..
Not as scary as marvyn hagler
He had an incredible reach and when he snapped the right arm it was like a cobra just striking he was fucking fast and punched hard, the way he knocked out duran was terrifying
So was Duràn
@@theunholygamer6474 It was his left arm that he snapped then came his right
@@desihunter6523 Hagler the toughest Middleweight ever
Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns and Roy Jones Jr now that's Greatness
Nice to hear Roy Jones giving his respect for two great legends..
Well said, Roy Jones, extremely respectful, this is how one should be, love all the boxers who were on the stage, God bless.
Tyson spanked him he was holding on him second half of the bout and soon to take out Paul
Man, these guys are STILL competing! God bless the legends, and God rest the Marvelous one.
Well said. God like fighters here.
Ray is real for acknowledging hearns won that second fight.
A very objective person ray is
And Tommy DID win that 2nd fight...typical anamored judges w Leonard name and hype
Tommy was jerked in that second fight with Ray, He won straight up !!
Some of the great s
Herbs Leonard Duran hagler the greatest humble men
So classy Roy Jones Jr and funny sugar ray leonard
These old boxers are the greatest. As they are now old and wise and respectful. Kindness rules at the end. I bow to all of them.
when Hearns and leonard faceoff its comedy gold in a badass way
I got to meet Roy Jones years ago at the MGM. Pure class. My favorite fighter of all time.
Pure class from Roy
Man that was great!!
Is it class to just admit the absolute truth?
@@jonathanhanser5914 Yes--actually it IS class to just admit the absolute truth. How often does that happen, today? And when it DOES happen, how many people do so _humbly_ , with no sign of arrogance OR excuse?
Respect to RJJ takes maturity & gratitude. Floyd would've walked in & said I'm better than all y'all
😂😂😂
Lol floyd always gives respect to guys before him but yes, he definitely thinks he the GOAT.
Gotta realize these guys shed blood sweat and tears together. Put their lives on the line in that ring. These rivalries are real and they each took pieces of each other's lives that they'll never get back. Much Respect and Love to all these guys.
kingcobra648-We also gotta realize that they fight mainly for the paychecks- not that there’s anything wrong with that!
Roy Jones did the right thing. My respect
THERE WILL NEVER BE A DECADE LIKE THE 80'S IN BOXING . The 90's was awesome too. So was the 70's . But, after the 90's, boxing has never been the same .
Joe Cue - I disagree. We are in a new golden era for heavyweights
And what about Mayweather-Pacquiao-Marquez-Canelo-Golovkin ?
@@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 You have a good point,Now Mayweather is my favorite fighter,but imagine him and Pacquiao fighting Tommy Hearns at 6'1 154lb.Hagler,Duran all at there prime.They would eventually catch them,they were on seek and destroy style,and had great chins.Mayweather never faced any real killers,just good boxers.
@@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 I know you're 14 yr old with Tiktok, to say we are in the Golden era of boxing, I'm sure you probably think Jake Paul and his brother are boxers too uhn?
Facts
Roy Jones…nothing but class. I met him at the MGM years ago and he was such a cool guy. One of my favorite all time boxers.
i was 1 of Hearns sparring partners (kemper morton and virgil hill fights)the man treated everyone with great respect and support he showed me what it takes to be great in and out the ring and thanks again for the watch you gave after the hill victory i am honored i was a part of that your more than a champ your a true child of god
And got your ass rocked too boi
@@illkid86 act as if you know how to be a Adult and not just a hormonal child with pubescent banter that is beneath a 3rd grader strive to be more not less
Much respect! Super dope
Classy touch from Roy Jones Junior at the end. Much respect.
In this gangly, awkward man, Tommy Hearns, who looked more like a basketball player than a fighter, many hardened boxing fans were moved by his belief in himself against all odds and expressed more, well, love for this fighter than they did toward most of the ones who beat him. It is a tribute to Hearns's greatness that over his long and successful career he was so single-minded about beating the best of the best, he combined his iron will with a brutal training regimen and as a result reigned supreme in six weight divisions. And this at a time when some of the 20th century's best fighters were in their prime.
How great was Tommy Hearns? Probably no other fighter of his generation could have: (1) knocked out Roberto Duran in two rounds; (2) boxed Sugar Ray Leonard to a draw; and (3) gone toe to toe with Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Any one of those encounters would have made him memorable; all three made him legendary.
But what impresses me most about Tommy Hearns was how he overcame his animosity towards Leonard (due to Ray's unheard-of purses, good looks and cheerful manner, and his being praised as the better of the two.
Well said in fact very well said. Beautiful tribute.
LMFAO.....Boxers never know when to quit🤣....this is gold! As great as every one of their fights.
I met Tommy at Detroit airport&I found him to be a down to earth friendly guy, & a lot bigger in person than he appears on videos
These 2 are something else, I think Leonard enjoys antagonizing Hearns !🤣🤣🤣
Absolute legends of the sport of boxing and yes i agree with Ray that Tommy won the 2nd fight.
When Ray grew up and told the truth after 20 years this improved the friendship between them. When you go to war with each other there is a bond,,,,, glad they made it good for each other and for more important the sport that needs it .
At this point in my life at 58. I don't care who won any of those 70s and 80s welterweight and middleweight fights. When it becomes a matter of pride over who won, it is no longer a sport. If they both just realized how amazing they boxed and what incredible skills they had and the absolute Joy they gave, they would trade in their belts for a better prize in heaven any day of the week. Either one could have won on any given day. Boxing as in all sports is a bit of hype, a bit of comedy and a lot of love. There could always be more. We can all have our favorites, but God has none. John 3:16
The sugar man still cheeky as ever 😂🎉🎉🎉
Two great fighters.Classy statement Roy Jones jr.Well said.
I hate to hear ex fighters when they sound punch drunk. Tommy is my man. We grew around the same time in the same city, but it hurts just hear him. God bless you Tommy.
Cool. There was always a bit of a slowness to his speech. I think he was just a bit camera shy and not as comfortable as Ray with the showmanship outside the ring. But in the ring man to me he was the greatest showman of all time hands down. Hey, I guess that was a bit before eminem eh?
Roy did a great job putting out the potential fire, surely to erupt between Hearns and Leonard!
They are probably both afraid to admit that there was a bit of foul play in boxing. They probably would not be happy to wake up and realized who handed them all that money. Even Ali never really properly addressed that issue on camera. It started to stink at a certain point and now it has become full blown.
Thomas Hearns always came to throw down and fight. No long feeling out process. The round 1 bell rings and the dude comes out swinging!!
The knockout Tommy did to Roberto Duran is an all-time famous KO
It was first time in my life I saw a boxer get knocked out falling face first!
Pure class there from Roy...
Real sign of love among fighters: the constant ballbreaking.
Thank you, guys. You were my heros when I was a boy. It's so much good to see you talk together, Hearns and Leonard.
These two really love each other
Damn! Absolutely LOVE this short video!!! 3 of my All-Time favorite Fighters!!! RJJ Best Ever!!!
Lol every time Hitman and Sugar are together you got to step between them cause they are always ready to brawl lol. At the same time I know they love each other. Respect to all three of these Legends.
Thought this was a pre match conference for the trilogy for a moment 😂😂🥊
love seeing these legends, these warriors, of an ilk never to be seen again, so humble so gentle.
GREAT FIGHTS NEVER GET OLD, THEY ARE EVER GREEN. GOD BLESS THESE LEGENDS.
Wow this clip is amazing.... Thanks for the upload!!!
Great intervention, Roy Jones.
Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hitman Hearns legends that will last the test of time in martial arts combat.
Hearns, Jones, and Leonard on the stage at the same time. Wow.
I have to say that I was completely impressed and moved with this clip! What respect and love around the room here! Legends respecting each other in the presence of a moment in time here on stage... that packed the hardest punch!
they still have very much that competitive spirit
I love Roy Jones. My favourite fighter of all times
WTF!!! That was Tha Greatest thing I've seen in a while...👊👊
So much talent in one room , all great boxers
When your in a room with Leonard hearns and jones Jr your privilege is standing or sitting with true sporting greats.
Greatness all around, much respect for all of these guys...I see Terry Norris in the Background 👏👏👏👏👏 real heroes and roles models
Absolute gods. Sugar ray leanard, thomas hearns and roy jones junior. Absolute warriors absolute gods.
Gods for sure. Fighters are amazing people.
Two true professional legends 🥊🥊
That's guys are amazing, hilarious rivals, two legend's 😂✌️
Big up to our man RJJ P4P up there as among the finest to ever do it, humbled to have met the man in Vegas June 98 and been in the presence of such Boxing greatness, much love from UK
I love Thomas Hearns
Sugar Ray was the best. Loved him n Hagler n Hearns
Roy that dude
2 great legends of boxing ....respecting each other .
Both absolute legends 👍
What more can Hearns ask for, after Ray has admitted that He won the second fight. And, at this point in their lives Ray do not see Hearns as a rivalry or an enemy, but more as a friend and brother. As for Roy, he's the little brother that stepping in between two older brothers, before it get out of hand. I admire and respect Roy for doing so. With that said, we just watched three Great Legends.
All those guys are class acts and legends of the sport.
Old dogs getting juices flowing again.... still a lot of fight in them still... absolute legends
Love both them guysThomas and Ray❤
Love you guys
Ray should be on everybody's top 3.
I was a Sugar ray Leonard fan and I guess that's what made me to that Thonas Hearns to lose in his other fights against Hagler, Duran etc. But I knew that the Detroit hitman could dish out punishment. But over the years I've grown to admire and respect the man. Thomas Hearns, Sugar ray Leonard, Marvelous Marvin Hagler and Duran ruled the welterweight/ middleweight divisions in the 80's. We were blessed to have watched them live in our life times. May God continue to bless them and give eternal rest to the Marvelous one.
"The Hitman" and "Sugar". GREAT nicknames.
That’s why they were great fighters and great fights. They would still go toe to toe now haha legends
Grandes Campeones!! Grandes poleas!! Ya No se Ven esas Rivalidades..🥊🥊
Dos gigantes de Boxeo mundial...incomparables, sin igual.
Roberto & Marvin
3 of my top 5 favourite boxers right there...
class acts all of them !!! great sport models for generations to come.
Damn, I loved that era of the Fab Four. Lots of memorable classics with them and others of that era. Every few weeks, there was always a good title (or even top 10) fight on free TV. No such thing anymore.
Wilfredo Benitez could have been added to that Fab Four. But he never fought Marvin Hagler. He lost to Leonard, beat Duran and lost to Hearns
This is gold
that was wholesome
Sugar and Tommy was just having fun talking their smack, it didn't need to broken up
Roy is a real gentleman.
Ray Sugar, Roy and Tommy Hitman..
GREATEST ...PURE GREATNESS...
All three was the best, that was a good Era back then.
All classy guys !! class act !!!
Roy Jones was classy as ever in acknowledging two other boxing legends.
Love them all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Estos. Si fueron verdaderas leyendas del boxeo
Roy is a classy guy. Well done
I love them. Men of honour
Brilliant 👏

Gods together on stage. Ray and Roy especially for me
This is why Roy Jones Jr. is the G.O.A.T in and out of the Ring......Words of Life and Respect well Spoken and uttered!!!!!!
Boxing's last real newspaper front pager.
