	The Defining Moment of Thomas Hearns’ Career
		I said Hearns was a great fighter, and his greatness is established by his longevity and by his resume.
		Hearns was on his way to a victory over Barkley in their first match until he ate one of the most devastating right hands anyone has ever had to eat in the middleweight division.
		The answer may be that Hearns was already ringworn by the end of 1989 due to his wars with Hagler, Leonard, Kinchen, Roldan, and Barkley I. He may thought to himself, “I have already won more belts than these fighters will ever see in their lifetimes.
