I was at a boxing event the week before Pavlik/Taylor I and I saw Tommy Hearns. A guy asked if he's going to fight again and he said he intends to. I don't really know what the purpose is at this point. The only thing he can do is beat inexperienced and out of shape fighters by using ringsmarts and power (and a pretty good chin) but that act won't carry against any top 30 fighter.

Wow! Thomas Hearns! I grew up watching some of boxing's greats - including The Hitman! He was definitely one of the best then! I don't know now - could be different and all. And I kid you not!

And just an addition, friends - I also grew up watching Ali, Roberto Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Mike Tyson!

I remember the times i used to pretend sick just to stay home and watch the match on cable tv! And I kid you not!

Those were exciting times, indeed!
