Four Kings by George Kimball

Four Kings by George Kimball

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.

George Kimball spent 25 years as a sports columnist for the Boston Herald and received the Nat Fleischer Award for Excellence in Boxing Journalism in 1986. He has covered nearly 400 world-title fights in a four-decade sports writing career and is the author of the acclaimed Four Kings: Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran and the Last Great Era of Boxing. He lives in New York City.
