About this deal

Whitecross and his producer Fiona Neilson have come up with a masterpiece, aptly named The Kings, which audiences will rave about for years.

The Kings’ is not accessible on Netflix as of now. However, we recommend our readers watch ‘ Counterpunch‘ or ‘ FightWorld.’ Is The Kings on Hulu? Great insight on each of these 9 super fights. Stories from each of the fighters, trainers and promoters from the 70s and 80s. In short, there is a true reason their era is so romanticized and so highly-regarded. They are timeless fighters who had timeless fights with one another, through all the action and drama and controversy. Apart from Hagler, who retired at 33, sadly the others carried on far past their best and got themselves beaten up by inferior opponents.world titles among them in about 4 to 5 different weight classes. These rivals fought each other 9 times. If you can’t watch live, AT&T TV also comes with 20 hours of Cloud DVR storage (with the ability to upgrade to unlimited hours). If you are ever looking for a gift for an important man in your life age 55+, who lived through the Golden Era, I recommend to buy this book. The chances to go wrong with "Four Kings" are remote.

I was hoping for a lot more detail on the fighters and their lives in and out of the ring. Unfortunately, there were equal amounts of boring minutiae and actual writing about the fighters.Despite knowing it will not settle the debate, I don’t think it ever could be, BoxingGuru has decided to put together a scoring system that ranks Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hearns, Ray Leonard, and against attributes any boxer needs to become as legendary as them. A flawless and singular account of fights that remain potent and important decades after the final bell' - Irish Times In boxing, it is said that styles make fights. From 1980 through 1989, it was the style of four great fighters that not only made legendary fights, it ushered in a boxing renaissance. The fierce rivalry between world champions and future Hall of Famers known as the “Four Kings”– Roberto “Manos de Piedra” Durán, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Thomas “The Hitman” Hearns, and Sugar Ray Leonard – produced a Golden Age defined by the nine world championship fights between them and solidified their place among the greatest to ever live. Marvelous Marvin Hagler was the most powerful among the kings, and he was naturally, the heaviest. Boxing experts in the world attribute his fights against the other three kings as some of the best in history. Image source: deepredcreative.com

I’m not going to bore you with running down all their career achievements for you to compare, because most likely you know their achievements, you’ve probably had this exact conversation before, either online or in real, actual life. Factor in Duran’s achievements at his natural poundage of 135, and the fact that he later managed to win a major belt at middleweight, and Roberto deserves to be placed in the ALL-TIME Top-10 – as he is in fact placed my many historians. Do Leonard, Hagler or Hearns deserve to be placed so high in terms of all-time? Maybe Leonard. In a way it is a neat thing that this book was written now. I read it close to my computer and watched some of the fights again on Youtube.You can stream ‘The Kings’ on Spectrum and DirecTV. The sports docuseries is also available on Showtime. Popular video-on-demand platforms such as FandangoNow, Vudu, Google Play, Microsoft Store, and iTunes are expected to add the series to their platforms in the near future.
