So yall not going to tell us showtime got a dope ass boxing documentary out right now
Thatrogueassdiaz
We're on the blood path now
Damn...I don't have showtime
ep. 4 of the 4 kings
hagler now reaping the rewards...commercials...tv show appearances..i remember his right guard commercials...kids calling him mr hagler and asking for his autograph..he wasn't as hungry anymore
hagler vs mugabi was still a serious war and he took some punishment..sugar ray saw that
sugar ray nearly knocked out in sparring 6 days before their fight
hagler vs leonard will never not be controversial to this day..i had a former co worker who was a big boxing and hagler fan quit watching boxing after that cuz he felt that hagler got robbed
at least they got paid..hagler 19 mill, sugar ray 11 mil
hagler told ray to get a life after he sent arum to talk to him about a rematch which would have been lucrative
hagler was the only one of the 4 to leave his faculties intact though and didnt overstay his welcome
fukk ronald reagan and george bush..war on drugs my ass
..they profited the most off it
i liked how they showed tommy rebounding after the hagler loss with good wins to his eventual slide in his skills and chin..first champ to win belts in 4 divisions though
duran knew the real noriega...noriega didnt want to be america's slave...so things happened and the panamanian ppl wanted his ass out..the only way he could control them was buying duran fights for them so they would be drunk and relaxed to protest
...also 
at when noriega went missing they got a tip he was hiding in duran's mansion and they tore his shyt up and duran was like incredulous they believe that
the last great duran fight beating iran barkley for the middleweight title
detroit in the 80s
tommy hearns loved detroit too much..so much they had a grip on him..large ass entourages he was handing money to them freely..his brother killing his gf in tommy's house while tommy was away training the sugar ray rematch..with tommy's own gun
..how tommy still kept it together to fight after that is real mental fortitude
hearns vs leonard 2 is a war...a vicious underrated one at that...fading versions of hearns and sugar ray...who wacked each other with ridiculous punches..ray went down twice...they knew tommy won that fight...crowd chanting bullshyt at the decision
duran getting bent over by the IRS because don king and his other handlers didnt take out for taxes in his purses....always getting taken advantage of..shyt king was convicted of tax evasion himself by the IRS..which is why we got the awful duran vs leonard 3 fight..the last of the 4 kings fight in the round robin..it was only a cash grab..sugar ray's final win
then they really went into the "stayed too long in the ring" stuff..i didnt think they would actually mention tommy's speech present day being slurred but they went there
..showed duran not looking sharp jump roping and showed footage of him getting destroyed by william joppy ..then they showed sugar ray getting his ass whooped by camacho ..and they showed hearns looking out of shape getting stopped at CW by uriah grant with ali ringside in full blown parkinsons mode...fox sports used to air some gems back in the day...i saw all those fights live
tommy hearns and duran had no business fighting into the 2000s for real
mentioned how the 4 kings were the "sons" of ali and how it was noble and what not until mike tyson came on the scenes and totally flipped the script..they showed tyson footage we've seen before....lowkey i wasn't feeling what they were insinuating about mike like that..say what you want about him but he is the last american and american heavyweight champ to really rule boxing..as in boxing revolved around him not the other way around..they remember him like they do the other 4 kings to this day
really well done 4 part series..showtime

I Am A God
Ten minutes into this Four Kings documentary and it's excellent. Sugar Ray Leonard wasn’t planning on going pro despite winning a gold medal. He was headed to college and wanted a regular job but his mother suffered a mild heart attack and his dad couldn't work so he needed money. His mother survived the heart attack, he went pro and the rest is history.
It's amazing how the Universe always has our best interest at heart and is conspiring in our favor even when we don't see it. You really can't avoid your destiny.

It is.....I'm at the end of episode 4. It's incredible. Definitely a must watch.
As someone who was born in 86 and didn't live through this era I learned a lot.
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
Watching 2nd episode now. Really well done. Deserves its own thread

we've been talking about it. just no one created a separate thread for it. id move those posts into this thread but you wouldn't be the OP of it anymore
All news gets buried in the random thoughts thread, I strongly feel that it should be locked. It served its purpose when we didn’t have its own sub forum on sohh but we do now.
