Their names are legendary: Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hit Man Hearns, and Roberto Duran. They were exceptional boxers with unique combinations of power and speed. In another era, with few rivals of equal caliber, each might have held championship belts for years on end. But as it was, they matured together in the 1980s and fought each other as middleweights. With unforgettable courage and skill, they ruled the ring and ushered in the last Golden Age of boxing.
George Kimball takes an authoritative look at the rivalries that fueled this great era in sports history. Veteran sports journalist Kimball reported on every one of the Four Kings’ nine internecine fights. Here his eye-witness coverage is enhanced by recent interviews with each of the boxers and other seasoned analysts. The result is a fast-paced, blow-by-blow account of four extraordinary adversaries and a remarkable boxing epoch.

Four Kings: Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran and the Last Great Era of Boxing
The author of this book reported on and was at every fight between the four kings. The details leading up to their fights are terrific and the fight descriptions themselves are great. I took the opportunity to read about each fight in detail, then stop and watch each fight to get my own sense of it before going back to the book. Thank you YouTube! A couple fights I had seen in full before and most I had seen highlights of over the years, but they were great to see again. It was a fantastic way to experience the book and get into it even more.
A great read. I now look forward to seeking out each fighter's own autobiography and getting their version of these events and their lives in general.
