‘Four Kings’ is a fascinating look at the overlapping careers of boxing legends Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns and Roberto Duran. After an introduction covering the upbringings and amateur careers of the quartet, each chapter of the book covers each time the four boxers fought one another.
The book spans an amazing period for the welterweight-to-middleweight divisions, highlighted by the names of truly great boxers who came into the orbits of the Four Kings, really putting into context their achievements as athletes and fighters.
One of the great things about reading this book now is that all bouts featured in the book are available to watch online, so you’re able to watch the bouts as you read about them.
To put the careers of the quartet into context, they had a combined record of 229-15-4, with eight of the loses and two of the draws coming against each other.
