Leonard Inducts Hearns Into Nevada Hall Of Fame
Sugar Ray Leonard fought the best of the best, but to him, there was no one like Thomas Hearns.
“He was a freak of nature,” Leonard said. “With his height, with his reach, with his power, with his speed, with his heart. Tommy had the whole package.”
Hearns was a matchup nightmare for his opponents and one of the best fighters of the 1980s.
The boxer known as “Hitman” earned the respect of Leonard during their two memorable fights in Las Vegas.
