$8.99

This month’s cover story, by Managing Editor Tom Gray, looks back at the standard by which all welterweight championships are measured.

The first clash between Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns took place 40 years ago, but the drama of this incredible fight remains fresh to this day.

In “Memories of The Hitman,” Leonard himself recalls the epic night at Caesars Palace.

“Epic … The career of Manny Pacquiao” has certainly been that. Retirement has been brought up multiple times, but Pac-man has always returned. His loss to Yordenis Ugas on August 21 felt different, though. With the effects of age undeniable and political aspirations calling, did we finally witness the last fight of this legendary career? Dan Rafael gives his account.
