Whoever edited this video did a killer job with the music. Buckshot is an underrated MC just like Hearns was a boxer. Noone ever ran through Tommy Hearns. Win or lose his opponents came out banged up!
Hands down, my favorite boxer of all-time. Why? The combination of TNT-like power, quickness, excellent skills, a warrior's courage (tremendous heart), work ethic (ALWAYS in tip-top shape), and outside-the-ring likability (loved his fans). Literally never fought a 'bad' fight -- even in his losses. Can't say that about a lot of champions. Look at his career: Truly one of the very most impressive bodies of work the sport has ever seen. Finally, perfect nickname.
For those who wants to see top prime Tommy Hearns, watch his fight against Benitez. Masterpiece of boxing. I can’t see any clip of his Benitez fight in every highlights on RUclips, but every round of this fight is just incredible. You’ll never see punching skills like this anywhere else.
I had the privelage of seeing the hitman live before he was champion in Saginaw, MI. It was my first live boxing match. My Dad told me to watch for Tommy Hearns. I don't remember who he fought, but it only went one round. It was a total massacre. Since that moment, I loved Hearns and boxing.
this man is the personification of the term "knockout artist". the power, speed, sccuracy snd sheer venom of his punches just makes my jaw drop. a true legend, Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns.
Wow man, Tommy Hearns legend. That was so awesome. Man, I haven't seen a fighter like that since him. What happened to them days man of Leonard, Hagle, and of course Hearns and Duran? That was boxing at it's best, and now because of MMA I dont think we will ever see any like that ever again. Thomas Hearns you are legend man...
Congratulations Thomas. You gave us some of the most memorable fights in boxing history and inclusion into the Hall of Fame was a no-brainer. Well deserved.
Hitman Hearns! Such a unique look in the ring. The incredible right hand, the great handspeed coupled with the long, snaky snap-jab. Motor City Cobra--and definite Hall of Famer!!!!
I don't know if there is ever gonna be another Tommy Hearns. This guy had some amazing punching power. Even Tyson said in an interview that "Hit Man" was one of the hardest hitting guys he has ever seen. Good Video!
Great video. Glad you put 'The War' in there, he may have been KO'd but it was still a great performance. Whatta fight! That has to be the scariest scare in boxing history.
Always been a big boxing fan. Loved the fighters of the 80's. I guess the most incredible thing I've seen, is HOW Roberto Duran actually lived through that right hand of Hearns.Unbelievable!!
i've seen this video so many times and i still love it!! truly one of the greatest ever. i feel at times thomas hearns sometimes doesn't get the recognition in people's all time lists. can't help but think what he would achieve if he was 25 years old. scary thoughts of people hitting the canvas hard!!
I have a great love for Tommy Hearns Fighting style, that right hand is the stuff of legends, its as if he was hitting his opponents with a gun! Much love for this edit! I watch it almost daily before training :)
0:52 that right uppercut is one of my favorite punches ever throw, Hearns was a monster with his right hand, the uppercut, the hook and of course one of boxing's P4P deadliest weapons - Hearn's right cross!!!
@Lobsang Tsetan It's Hearns right hand. Of course he theoretically could've KO'd Hagler. BUT Haglers hard head broke Tommy's right hand. The immovable object beat the irresistible force on that night.
Pound for pound one of the hardest punchers and most exciting fighters of all time. How many bad or boring fights has this guy been involved in? Respect to the Original Hitman...........thanks for the memories Tommy.
My No. 1 favorite boxer of all time. Unique body type and style to go with it. Power for days (especially in that right hand, lord have mercy) and those left-handed flickers should be textbook for aspiring jabbers. But most of all, HE DUCKED NO ONE!!! Didn't matter who it was, once the Hitman stepped into the ring you knew he was gonna bring it win lose or draw! Only regrets with him: didn't get a rematch with Hagler and got totally screwed over by the judges in the second Leonard fight...
This was one of the first RUclips videos I ever saw, way back in 2006 (this was re-uploaded in 2007). Still come back to it every now and again, love the action, love the music - almost perfect... The only thing I would change? Replace the clips from the Hagler fight and with the ones from the Roldan fight. When it comes to Hearns, he's normally remembered for one of two things (or both) - 1), he lost his best two fights against Leonard and Hagler, or 2) the first man to win four titles at four different weights, which he achieved by beating Roldan. By using the Roldan fight as the centre piece of the video, it would accentuate the positive memory of Hearns, rather than the negative 'nearly man of middle weight boxing' label that some people stick to him. Much love & respect, Hitman.
Respect bro, thanks for commenting. I'm getting around to replying to some comments and will take a second to address this. I can understand your viewpoint on adding the Hagler fight but it's hard to deny the epic event which was Hagler-Hearns whether Hearns was victorious or not. Leaving that fight out of Hearns highlight is like leaving the first Bowe fight out of a Holyfield highlight or the first Ward fight out of a Gatti highlight. Some fights define a fighter, even in a loss, and capture everything that fighter was about.
Iceveins, this is one of the best boxing vids on RUclips. I'm glad to see you back. You were gone from YT for awhile, and my comment on this vidio got kaput. I won't try to repeat it. Anyway, welcome back.
id never seen this guy box but heard tyson say how hard a puncher he was, I wasnt disappointed. excellent soundtrack too, anyone know the name of the opening track?
This man is a wicked warrior. He's got bullets as fists and rockets as legs. Sad to say that there are no more like him in the sport of boxing. It's become a purely money-making venture. Unfortunately, it no longer rides on the artistry and skill of the man in the trucks.
this is a really great video. excellent montage, and great choice of tracks- i've just been watching tyson videos on mute with snoop/outkast, you've supplied all da music already big up yourself.
My favorite. Never fought a 'bad' fight. Not one outing where you can say his performance was poor. Great as they were, can't say that about others like Leonard, Ali, Norton, Tyson, Duran, Jones, Holyfield, Lewis, De La Hoya, etc. Many more could be mentioned.
good to see the recognition of another fighter after hearns lost to hagler. this new generation needs to see that. game recognizing game. classic. both men at the end of the day.
1 - "The Bridge is Over" - KRS1
2 - "Mental Stamina" - Jeru the Damaja
3 - "Buck Em Down Remix" - Blackmoon
Thanks :-)
Whoever edited this video did a killer job with the music. Buckshot is an underrated MC just like Hearns was a boxer. Noone ever ran through Tommy Hearns. Win or lose his opponents came out banged up!
Only man to ever stand up to hearns was hagler
Coldest boxing stare since Sonny Liston hands down
I'd have peed a little
Lol. I still remember that episode of Martin with Tommy Hearns, lol!
When that right hand lands his opponents soul leaves the body for a mere second and returns.
I love Tommy "The Hitman". Crazy power and speed.

Tommy's stare really sends chills going down my spine. He was one scary man.
The way he uses those flicker jabs, truly something to admire
Even that stare had people freaked out about what was to come...........
That first round of the Hagler Hearn’s match is in my opinion the best 1st round in the history of boxing.
I think it’s in everyone’s opinion
For those who wants to see top prime Tommy Hearns, watch his fight against Benitez. Masterpiece of boxing.
I can’t see any clip of his Benitez fight in every highlights on RUclips, but every round of this fight is just incredible. You’ll never see punching skills like this anywhere else.
The best days of the sport, no ducking. The best fought the best
Wow. This highlight is still up :')
Hearts had that Liston stare going on he was a bad MF
Hearns*
Heffe JayWEY Hearts lol

My favourite boxer of all -time
This guy is one of the all time greats, he should be in hall of fame
Man you aint lying! Ive never seen a fighter pop off 2 double left hooks so fast and so snapping like that. it was like a jackhammer. incredible.
this man is the personification of the term "knockout artist". the power, speed, sccuracy snd sheer venom of his punches just makes my jaw drop. a true legend, Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns.
Well done Ice veins!!
Awesome video
Awesome Soundtrack
Awesome Fighter the "Hitman" THOMAS HEARNS one of the grestest bangers ever lived!!!
Hearns had it all. Power, body type, technique, speed, he could box or brawl and he had some real smarts when he was in the ring.
This tribute is like....mindblowing!
Tommy Hearns left hook to the body was vicious.
Im glad this video is still up after all these years. Hope all is well with you Mr. Iceveins
Thats a scary man folks
One of the greatest boxers of all time and also one of the best highlights I have seen of the hitman! Great Vid!!!!
class act right here , this guy is one of the greats
Wow man, Tommy Hearns legend. That was so awesome. Man, I haven't seen a fighter like that since him. What happened to them days man of Leonard, Hagle, and of course Hearns and Duran? That was boxing at it's best, and now because of MMA I dont think we will ever see any like that ever again. Thomas Hearns you are legend man...
Congratulations Thomas. You gave us some of the most memorable fights in boxing history and inclusion into the Hall of Fame was a no-brainer. Well deserved.
Great boxer and fighter. Motor city cobra ! Live on !!
when he stares you down, it looks like he’s not even looking at you, he’s looking through you.
Super fast.
Ridiculous reach.
Hit like a truck and the 'death stare'.
Great welterweight.
Great fighter.
great footage and soundtrack.. Hearns is one of my all-time favorites and idol, thanks for the video!
A great tribute to one of the greatest, to ever lace up the gloves.
Hitman Hearns! Such a unique look in the ring. The incredible right hand, the great handspeed coupled with the long, snaky snap-jab. Motor City Cobra--and definite Hall of Famer!!!!
I don't know if there is ever gonna be another Tommy Hearns. This guy had some amazing punching power. Even Tyson said in an interview that "Hit Man" was one of the hardest hitting guys he has ever seen.
Good Video!
he had some sick chopping rights... one of my favorite fighters of all time.
Stays focus all the time and is incredible at speed, power and agility!
Great video. Glad you put 'The War' in there, he may have been KO'd but it was still a great performance. Whatta fight!
That has to be the scariest scare in boxing history.
Lol. I still remember that episode of Martin with Tommy Hearns, lol!
DAMNNNNNN!!!!! He connects with this rights soooo cleanly! It's amazing! and that jab is just godly
Always been a big boxing fan. Loved the fighters of the 80's. I guess the most incredible thing I've seen, is HOW Roberto Duran actually lived through that right hand of Hearns.Unbelievable!!

lol the look on his face during staredowns say "you know I'm gonna woop you right"
I have a great love for Tommy Hearns Fighting style, that right hand is the stuff of legends, its as if he was hitting his opponents with a gun! Much love for this edit! I watch it almost daily before training :)
Been revisiting a couple of Iceveins videos lately. Truly great editing on all videos!
0:52 that right uppercut is one of my favorite punches ever throw, Hearns was a monster with his right hand, the uppercut, the hook and of course one of boxing's P4P deadliest weapons - Hearn's right cross!!!
Brilliant video, brilliant music - keep 'em comin' Iceveins!!
Todays fighter's should count their lucky stars that this guy aint around now
He was one of the best punchers.
What a great fighter Hearns was.He will always be remembered for being in great fights and taking on all comers. Unlike a lot of our modern crop.
If hearns hadn't broken his hand in the fight with hagler, it would have been a much more crazy war, and hearns would have probably won.
@Lobsang Tsetan
It's Hearns right hand. Of course he theoretically could've KO'd Hagler.
BUT Haglers hard head broke Tommy's right hand.
The immovable object beat the irresistible force on that night.
The best combo of music+highlights+the "ring personality" of the person in the highlight that I have ever seen.
Man that shot he laid on Duran while he was on the ropes!!! Thats power. Duran went from sober to 100 tequila shots drunk in a second.
I cant get enough of this vid!!!!
Bad Ass tunes 4 a Bad ASS Fighter!!!!!
This is crazy, he looks like he's normally one of those tall, skinny guys that just worked out a lot.
Dope video, dope song selection, seriously off the chain!
You know the beats bro? Would appreciate it.
Pound for pound one of the hardest punchers and most exciting fighters of all time. How many bad or boring fights has this guy been involved in? Respect to the Original Hitman...........thanks for the memories Tommy.
His punch speed and power is remarkable if i ever got into a fight with him...i reckon he could give even Tyson trouble seriously
Great video. The hitman was one of my favorites. The Roberto Duran knockout with the lighting was nice!

LEGEND
Iceveins got the tightest music it seems like every song he picks fits the boxer :) good job
Great video and song! Hearns is my all time favorite boxer not sure why...he just had the magic
This was one of the first RUclips videos I ever saw, way back in 2006 (this was re-uploaded in 2007). Still come back to it every now and again, love the action, love the music - almost perfect...

Wow! that's one helluva range for his height! thank you very much for that information :D
Tommy Hearns in one word - Animal.
I watch this video on the regular, my favourite fighter.
This is interesting. I got a reference from an anime called Hajime No Ippo regarding Hearns, this is very educational indeed! :}
I almost cried when hagler took out hearns.... Hearns is the MAN!
Iceveins, this is one of the best boxing vids on RUclips. I'm glad to see you back. You were gone from YT for awhile, and my comment on this vidio got kaput. I won't try to repeat it. Anyway, welcome back.
My all time favorite fighter. He had the sickest right hand I've ever seen.
id never seen this guy box but heard tyson say how hard a puncher he was, I wasnt disappointed.
excellent soundtrack too, anyone know the name of the opening track?
This man is a wicked warrior. He's got bullets as fists and rockets as legs. Sad to say that there are no more like him in the sport of boxing. It's become a purely money-making venture. Unfortunately, it no longer rides on the artistry and skill of the man in the trucks.
great video and songs...
Hearns was the one and only Hitman
i just love hearns choping right KO AND the flicker jabs

great editing, great music, great fighters! keep up the good work ice!
Grreat video!! I just added it to my favorites.
I just watched another video of Mike Tyson and he praised the knockout power of Tommy Hearns. Now thats a complement of the highest degree in my book.
@IceveinsProductions GREAT MUSIC!..GREAT VID! Hitman's my alltime favorite..Thatnx bro!
Thank you for the video :)
My favorite.
Never fought a 'bad' fight. Not one outing where you can say his performance was poor. Great as they were, can't say that about others like Leonard, Ali, Norton, Tyson, Duran, Jones, Holyfield, Lewis, De La Hoya, etc. Many more could be mentioned.
jeru and hitman. good mix. real hip hop. sweet science. thats why I suscribe.
nice songs. Afu-Ra, Black Moon.....Goes perfectly with Hitman
my fav vid by you, nice job!!!!!!!
good to see the recognition of another fighter after hearns lost to hagler. this new generation needs to see that. game recognizing game. classic. both men at the end of the day.
one the most humble mofo on the face of the planet. truly hated to beat his opponents, but he was so damn good at it
GOAT IN MY EYES.
Jeru the damaja -Stamina for the the first music
