So yall not going to tell us showtime got a dope ass boxing documentary out right now
after this ppv for me
Such great footage of Sugar Ray Leonard winning gold, piece together beautifully.
This is great so far, the ringside footage of Hagler...
Really all the footage they got, such a treat to watch.
Now the footage on King and Arum.
This is 4 parts too.
It almost feels like a travesty that Showtime would schedule the Mayweather card on the same night as this documentary.

Yeah editing is Asif Kapadia's greatest strength as a Director (Senna, Maradona, Winehouse etc). Telling stories with retrospective footage is his thing.Such great footage of Sugar Ray Leonard winning gold, piece together beautifully.

Really looking forward to checking out how he goes with boxing.
*edit, just looked it up on IMDB, not the Director of those, just the producer.
Either way i'm sure it's top line.
The Four Kings doc is so good. I gotta be up at 6:50 and I’m up watching this piff . I’ve seen these fights in retrospect as I wasn’t alive when they aired live, but I’m about 95% certain I would have been a Hearns Stan. That loss to SRL would have crushed me.

This 4 Kings Series is so Great. Such a time in boxing I wish I was around. Sugar Ray Leonard had his faults but he was such an electric and Great fighter , plus his actual Twitter account follows me so I gotta put him over Hagler (Rest in Power) as my favorite out the 4 GOATs 
man this 4 kings doc for showtime is GREAT!!!

You believe that story from Bob? That he had congressmen threatening to investigate him if he didn't get Hagler a title shot?
this second ep of 4 kings is something else..watched this while i did my morning resistance bands workout
how they mix in reagan's presidency with these boxing events
they did sugar ray dirty with exposing his welfare issues prior to going pro
its sad that hearns speech is so slurred they had to add subtitles...that man fought way too long
emanuel steward (RIP) footage
duran losing almost 50 lbs in a month and a half for that sugar ray rematch
no mas no mas
...i had cramps..make something up 
lol at duran having to walk with a pet lion on those Panamanian streets so no one would fukk with him from quitting in that fight with leonard
its still a trip to see footage of hagler with hair...real talk i need to rock some of the shades hagler use to be rockin
man they even mixed jack johnson footage with great white hope stuff because minter talked that racist shyt "ill never let a black man beat me"..hagler beat that ass properly
loved the footage of hearns buying his moms a house..he was out here driving a rolls and owning yachts
hearns wba welterweight champion, leonard wbc welterweight champion...lets unify so we can see how great we can be and be undisputed...today nah hes on the other side of street..the money aint there
hearns vs leonard 1 was a such a classic fight
love the old school music being played throughout

I’m gonna be honest, I think that was an insult. I think it was an insult for whoever threw out that ‘Four Kings’ for this era. It was an insult to those guys (Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, and Duran). Whoever is doing this, you don’t know shyt about boxing. Sorry, but you don’t and you gotta check yourself before you wreck yourself because in reality that’s what it really comes down to. Those guys haven’t really shown anything to even get to the point of being acknowledged. We haven’t shown anything yet. Even I can say for myself, I haven’t shown anything yet. But don’t put me in that category because I’ve shown more than they have.
“Don’t do that to those guys, those were fighters. These guys, they ain’t fukkin’ fighters, they fukkin’ internet famous, clout-chasing, dikk-riding motherfukkers at the end of it all. And they just suck dikk, that’s really what they do. All they do is suck dikk and go on to the next one. I don’t do that.”
Even Teo saying
3rd ep of 4 kings
fukk ronald reagan
tommy's slurring while narrating is even more pronounced but it did a good job of capturing of him rebounding after the 1st loss
its amazing though how tommy carried his power from welterweight to cruiserweight..but the heavy damage im sure came from being at 175 and esp CW late in his career
hearns with a tommy gun on the cover = iconic cover
hagler couldn't even get nikkas to give him a nickname much less call him by it...so he had to give himself one and changed his name so they had to call him marvelous
all this messed up footage of newark in the 60s and 70s..esp against black ppl..shyt was a warzone..such wickedness
amiri baraka (RIP) footage
gotdamn at the shot of all the trophies and awards that sugar ray won
damn at the shot of sugar ray's left eye full of blood when they were talking about the detached retina...he was only a week away from being blinded in that eye permanently when he noticed something was wrong..he was lucky eye surgery advanced far enough for that...detached retina was still a career ender in boxing well into the 70s
sugar ray was out there in LA groovin in clubs with the drugs, alcohol, fast women...buying them cars and shyt putting them up in apts...even golden boys had Achilles heels..4 million dollars on cocaine..gotdamn
nikka on a coke bender threaten to burn the house down and slapping his wife around
..he was out there looking fresh though..shooting out TVs during hangovers
fukked up sugar ray (liquored up and coked out.."being cool" in his own words) had that party (arum talmbout he wasnt behaving himself knowing damn well he was prolly taking bumps of coke with ray too)..had ali up in there..invited hagler only to tell him he was going to retire and aint gonna be no damn fight on some 
shyt..sugar ray was a legit demon at his peak
he made hagler look like a total fool..his expression
they showed the down period of duran's career losing to benitez and kirkland laing (RIP)
how does one manage to sleep in the presidential palace of panama in the president's own bed (only him in the bed though)? only roberto duran
US govt doing shady shyt...mysterious death of panama's prez in a plane crash...because he was speaking out on the US interfering in the politics of latin american countries..shocking
the world is violent..as long as i always have hands ill always eat
..talk about it duran
duran vs davey moore..one of the most brutal one sided beatings ever
great fighters need foils..talk about it teddy
every one moved up except hagler..he was beating good tough not really known fighters and wasnt getting the credit he deserved...sounds awfully familiar
duran vs hagler..hagler was legit outboxed at times..shyt was close.marvin showed him too much respect and had to rally...only 15 round win in his career..narrowly beat him...incredible
duran telling ray thay he can beat hagler too
i miss the cheesy commercials and graphics of the 80s...ol macintosh ass graphics
jheri curl ray having trouble with the soft touch..didnt follow the script got dropped and had to rally to win,,,
at hagler laughing at that..the soft touch talked big shyt to him after that fight too..premature stoppage
how in the hell was duran vs hearns made based off a random cuban approaching him in the club
.. talmbout "fight hearns and ill pay you millions" duran "bring me 2 million and i sign" ..dude comes back with a half a milly..duran is down then takes 2 random women back to the hotel for a 3 some...duran really went into details of this 3some ..this nikka was and is still married to the same woman..the 80s was just different
it cost him vs hearns..only time duran got legit put to sleep..his commentary describing that ..duran is a funny dude
lol at arum describing the private planes of hagler and hearns during their press tour..gold
all this footage of 80s high roller shyt..nikkas was blinged out..tommy rocking cazals with the jheri curl...80s was something different
hagler vs hearns from buildup to the fight is a good reason why older fight fans are even more disgusted with boxing today
marvin hagler is vindicated
and sugar ray didnt like all that attention
fukk ronald reagan
