Book review: Four Kings

• George Kimball, Four Kings: Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran and the Last Great Era of Boxing: Leonard, Hagler, Hearns and Duran and the Last Great Era of Boxing(Edinburgh, 2008)

Compelling account of some of the biggest and best rivalries in the history of boxing, the four-way tussle between Marvin Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns and Roberto Duran.

Leaves you pining for this ’80s golden era and asking why modern-day boxing promoters seem so reluctant to pit the best against the best.
