Thomas Hearns Quotes

Thomas Hearns — American Athlete born on October 18, 1958,

Thomas "Tommy" Hearns is an American former professional boxer. Nicknamed the "Motor City Cobra" and more famously "The Hitman", Hearns' slender build allowed him to move up over fifty pounds in his career and become the first boxer in history to win world titles in four weight divisions: welterweight, light middleweight, middleweight, and light heavyweight. By later winning a super middleweight title, he also became the first to win five world titles in five weight divisions. Hearns was named Fighter of the Year by The Ring magazine in 1980 and 1984; the latter following his one-punch knockout of Roberto Durán. Hearns was known as a devastating puncher throughout his career, even at cruiserweight, despite having climbed up five weight classes... (wikipedia)

I prayed, thanking God, for making it all possible for me, because I knew where I came from.

Some people are going to be happy with my decision, some people aren't... But I must live my life.

The loss just made me hungry; it made me want to go out and win another title.

That was the fight. I knew that I had done something that no man had been able to do to a champion.

I'm going to fight again because this wasn't a fight.
