Old-time fighters with rarely hit the bag more than four rounds too much heavy bag will ruin your timing. Also, if a bag is too heavy, it takes the snap out of your punches.

He was ahead of the game with his training theory! Too many athletes train way too often and long!

Too much medium-hard sparring isnt good for long term health, and back to those era, they didnt spar using 16oz gloves.

my old man was a top pro welterweight here in Australia during the 40s and 50s. He said that a lot of guys only sparred for training and nothing else. Also, the referees and corners used to let fights go for far too long when a fighter was helpless on the ropes. There would be old fighter's reunions in the 80s and I would see a lot of these guys, real survivors, but many were considerably brain damaged. My old man was one of the "lucky ones" but he had a drinking problem and suffered mood swings, probably from the vicissitudes of the fight game in that "golden" era.@@vincentfisher1603

True but they both use to weight drain them self like crazy

What everyone forgets about Tommy, is he was such a masterful boxer, had he been more conservative in his approach to fights, and not always gone looking for the kayo, he would have been almost unbeatable. He was still able to outpoint a fantastic, slick champion, in Virgill Hill, years past his prime...

My all time favorite

The old school trainers understood that less is more. Guys like Louis, Charles, and Robinson would spar daily, but didn't usually go more than 6 rounds per session

Hearns was always one of my favs..but he would get tired in fights and that's when he got hurt !! So his conditioning coulda been better !!

Don't let this video fool you he hit the bag, jumped roped, hit the pads, etc. I was there to witness it my self at Kronk. The all out hard sparring day in and day out is what most likely causes the unnecessary trauma to many fighters.

Not many know, but Toney came from Kronk also. Probably sparred Tommy and Gerald.

Tommy is so great. I don’t think it matter who trained him. His fighting spirit would have gotten him where he was manual Stewart had no concept of defense.

Awesome fighter and joy to watch. I still can’t figure our why he couldn’t get past Ian “the blade” Barkley

Yes. When Iran beat Tommy for the Middleweight title, his friend Davey had just been killed in a freak accident. Davey's death motivated Iran to another level.

With All due Respect, too the Champ, not running long distance is probably what got him, in trouble with Leonard, and Hagler. Ran out of gas

As I remember he won belts in 6 divison not 5.

I wonder if this is why Tommy flamed out late in so many fights, I can think of at least 3 Ls that he may not have taken if he was in better physical condition

James Toney is the same way.

Keep it up. Great video.

The best

Tommy was tall and may have struggled jumping rope. Also, if he’d have hit a heavy bag with any regularity, with his punching power, I’m sure he’d have damaged his hands, wrists or shoulders! 😮

Tommy is my all time favourite but his lack of stamina cost him alot so maybe he should've done more cardio

Same as James Toney. Toney never trained, only gave beatings in the ring

No jump rope? So that’s why Hagler won… he never took his foot off the gas from start to KO…

He is now punch drunk along with most Kronk fighters while Leonard is still his articulate arrogant self.

Same with Chavez

All the guys who sparred a lot cant talk. I prefer saving my body for the fight. U need some sparring but not all of it

Tommy had a glass chin

He OBVIOUSLY did more thsn just run and spar---the clips in this video show that.

honestly, sparring too much can cause a lot of long term damage to the brain. This is why you'll see the Hearns has been showing signs of brain damage while leonard looks fresh

No wonder why he got knocked out so many times

Sugar Ray couldn’t KO Duran

Now we know why he had no chin.

Well Leonard won so I think his way is better

Leonard has still a clear speech, whereas Hearns has been suffering from slurred speech for decades. Muhammad Ali, James Toney... Two boxers that did a lot of sparring too, have been suffering from brain damage as well. So you draw your own conclusions.

That's why he's punch drunk😅

Second time around he would have knocked hagler .... Hagler wanted no part .. hagler no show bailed out

And thats why Hagler destroyed him and Leonard beat him.

This does not apply to Hagler

Great fighter but the form on his pushups is terrible (flared elbows) and the situps are a spine-wrecking waste of time.. I wouldn't say this to his face ;-)
