d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 My favorite boxer of all time. https://www.tmz.com/2021/03/13/former-middleweight-champion-marvelous-marvin-hagler-dead-dies/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 My favorite of the Leonard Hearns Hagler trio. Stood there looking ominous while the other two strutted around. His matches with Antuofermo were legendary too. Rip Marvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Hagler is an all-timer. A legend is his own time. An almost supernatural fighter. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 You gotta watch this. Hagler and Leonard maxing out. Its like a symphony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 Dude was knocked down ONE time in his career, and it was controversial. Fighting the way he did, that's absolutely astonishing. Surprised to not see him involved in the GOAT debate. Perhaps its my bias talking, and lack of knowledge of other boxers careers.

The fights vs Thomas Hearns and Mano de Piedra were epic, RIP Marvin. " While Dave Moretti scored it seven rounds to five for Leonard, and Lou Fillippo scored it that way for Hagler, Jo Jo Guerra went off the reservation. His two colleagues’ scores, both logical and reasonable, were overshadowed by Guerra’s ridiculous tally of 10 rounds for Leonard." Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COWBOY-KILLA- Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I met Marvelous at the height of his powers, chatted and took pictures with us for about 10 min. He couldnt have been nicer to me and my family. We have a picture somewhere, I asked my mom to find it. He totally hit on my mom and at the same time put my dad at ease. He was gracious, funny, and a class act. Made quite the impression on this 11 yr old kid. RIP Champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Best fighter i ever saw. I know everyone is flashing up the Hearns fight for it's great round, but I'll share the fight vs Roberto Duran, which was the best fight i've ever seen. Toe to toe action all the way. A boxing master class by two of the greatest. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrell Green Fan Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Very sad news. I fell off boxing years ago but back then I was a big fan. Specifically a fan of Sugar Ray but sorry, Hagler won that fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 After hearing this news I've been watching a lot of the old fights between Hagler, Leonard, Hearns and Duran. That was quite an era of boxing. Not a long fight, but the first round is great: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
