Wow...he was pretty young, and he got out of the game without taking any serious beatings in his old age. I wonder what happened.
Great fighter responsible for some of the best fights of the 80s. RIP Marv!

Quoted from Jaybird815:My favorite era of boxing. Hagler, Hearns, Leonard and Duran. There will probably never be another one like it.
Even the second-stringers were top notch...Paz, Boom Boom, Arguello, Czyz...kind of like the 90s heavyweight scene.
I kinda lost touch with boxing after that but still check in from time to time.
Quoted from Lethal_Inc:My favorite boxer growing up. I was so angry when he lost to Sugar Ray and if I remember right, was basically his last fight because I never heard anything more from him after that night. RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
Marv indeed walked away from boxing after that fight. He moved to Italy and made low-budget action movies.
I've seen it and scored it and Sugar Ray won. No he didn't brawl but he got it done, stealing rounds at the end and avoiding getting slugged. He played it smart and he shocked the world and put Marv out to pasture!
Quoted from phil-lee:Hagler was the last person I would want to be in a ring with. The best old school brawler of all time. Sugar Ray may have beat him in his dreams.
No I'm pretty sure it was no dream!
hag (resized).jpgQuoted from MrBally:An awesome Closed Circuit TeeVee event. Back when you had to go to an event center and pay $40.00 to see it live or wait a week or two and see it replayed on HBO. No pay per view at home in thpse days.
After the fight, a Detroit newspaper sportswriter coined a new nickname: Thomas "Hit Me" Hearns.
It’s a fun fight to watch but the sweet science it is not!
Quoted from vicjw66:Leonard was all flash and had no power to hurt Hagler. I kept waiting for that one punch that never happened.
Sometimes that gets it done!
See the four years of Ali's second Championship reign!
