Marvelous Marvin Hagler, boxing legend and former undisputed champ, dead at 66
Marvelous Marvin Hagler, the boxing legend who was the undisputed middleweight champion from 1980 to 1987 and recorded 52 knockouts during his career, has died, his wife announced Saturday. He was 66.



A boxer from when boxing was worth watching.

What a shame.

Me and a co-worker was just discussing him as a boxer on Wednesday.

One of the all-time greats. Saw him whip Leonard's a$$ in a great fight, Leonard congratulated him on the win, then judges gave it to Leonard in a fixed split decision. Quit watching boxing about then. Many did. Sport not watched like it was at that time in mid-80's. Hagler, Leonard, Duran and Hit Man Hearns were a special group of middle weights who peaked close to the same time. All great athletes who put on a great show!

I like boxing. Too bad now you have to pay a bundle to see a decent fight.
In the day there was a tall kid from Spartanburg at Clemson who had had a couple pro fights.
My roommate and I would help him train in a store room. The deal was we would try to hit him, and he would not hit us. He would often get antsy and let one go --- so we had swollen ears, etc.

I believe the best Hagler fight (and one of the best all time) was not when he was cheated in the Leonard fight, but the one against Hearns in Boston. I just happened to be in Boston running the Marathon that week. The papers were full of it, even more coverage than the Marathon.
Hagler was a fighter, but could box. He was incredible. Not many like him.
