Thomas Hearns, age 50, Wants One More Fight

[joe strong]

true that

duran fought until he was nearly a vegetable (age 50!!!) - and it wasnt even his deteriorating health that made him retire, but a car accident!

it took a few beatings to convince ray leonard to hang em up

and hearns is still going, and last fought in 06

****s sake lol

wow! I didn't realize he was active until 06! Now that I looked it up he had fights every year until then.still not convinced it's a good idea but he's in better shape at 50 then I'm at & I'm 34 so who am I to judge.it's his life

[MELLY-MEL...]

don't do it tommy

[Migs]

Let's say Hearns did come back. Who would he fight and at what weight?

[ricky1978]

who would he fight??

[SASH!!!]

Hearns vs Pavlik.........

Pavlik has experience to lose pensionaries...

[neils7147933]

Hearns could win a cruiserweight belt if he doesn't go after one of the 'big 4'...

There's always an organization willing to 'sanction' a fight as long as they're getting some cash. Hopefully, Hitman would be content raising the NABO strap or something similar after outworking a similarly aged club fighter with a decent record.

[icantbox]

He should fight RJJ. I actually think that fight could be competitive.

[KingTito]

I hope it's just one against some bum. He shouldn't be fighting anymore.

[The Hammer]

Chad Dawson will avoid Tavoris Cloud, give up his IBF belt, and fight Hearns instead.

Young Chad should be able to win a boring decision over old Tommy.

Former five-division champion Thomas Hearns (61-5, 48KOs), age 50, wants to have one more fight. Lately he's been helping the career of son, junior middleweight prospect Ronald Hearns, but wants to have one more go in the ring. He's trying to convince his close friend and former trainer Emanuel Steward to be in his corner. Hearns has not fought since 2006. [details]

If he really wants one fight he should fight Iran Barkley at cruiser, finally get a win against him, then retire.
