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 was a sports columnist for the Boston Herald for 25 years, and in 1986 he was awarded the Nat Fleischer Award for Achievement in Boxing Writing. Throughout a four-decade career as a sports writer, he has covered nearly 400 world-title fights and is the author of the critically acclaimed Four Kings: Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran, and the Final Great Age of Boxing. He currently resides in New York City.
