Thomas Hearns vs. Juan Roldán was a professional boxing match contested on October 29, 1987, for the vacant WBC middleweight title.

[4] Hearns ultimately decided to pursue the vacant middleweight title in an effort to become boxing's first ever four–division world champion.

Hearns cited that fact as well as putting his past defeats to Leonard and Marvin Hagler behind him as a reason for taking the fight, stating "When I beat Roldan, it will erase all the criticizing I've been getting from people because of the fact that Ray Leonard and Marvin Hagler beat me.

"[5] The undercard featured Charles Williams challenging reigning IBF light heavyweight champion Bobby Czyz and then–undefeated middleweight prospect Michael Nunn against Darnell Knox.

Roldán fell face first to the canvas and was counted out at 2:01 of the round to give Hearns the knockout victory.
