Ring Legend Thomas Hearns - "I'm Going To Get One More World Title"

He must be broke or insane. Or both.
He's gone a bit loopy. Hearns was awesome in his time, but I can't see the sparkle coming back now he's almost 51. He should have a serious think about this. I would love it if he came back and won a belt. But what are the odds really? Very slim I would say.
Like CFH said, maybe it's about money. But I really hope not.
i really hope Tommy isnt going to come back.
I'm pretty sure Hearns would beat Shawn Hawk and Tommy Gunn on the same night.
He should eye up the retirement chair.
I vote dementia... If this stuff keeps up, George Foreman might as well head up the SCBA. (Senior Citizen Boxing Association).Quote:

Hearns slurs his speech and do not want him to get hurt. Remember thinking that when he fought the unbeaten Virgil Hill and he pulled off a win in that fight. This is definitely a bad idea.
No way.Emanuel Steward has a heart.
I thought surely this is some sort of prank; maybe a belated April Fools Day kind of thing.
Uhhh; isn't Hearns like 55 or 60 or something? If some commision allows him to fight they should be shot:furious2: And Hearns should be eyeing some therapy sessions.
Thets bad news.
He can get seriously hurt.
Ray Leonard said it best a couple of years ago when Tommy asked him lets do it a 3rd time Ray. Leonard just said let it go Tommy we are 50, just enjoy life.
Coke may be a hell of a drug, but history shows boxing runs it a close second.
Any promoter who allows this to happen should be decapitated. :fighting0043gi5:
Sadly, you are blaming the weaknesses/strength of a promoter, on us.Quote:

So thus, sadly, that means a dagger in our, the fan (cies), heart........
He should stay in his age bracket and train fighters or promote. Boxing is the wrong sport to find out you're too old, let alone waaaaaay too old. I'll say it now. If Tommy does this...my condolences goes out to his family.
Man wish they would just retire but if he fought i would proable watch.
