    That’s made me sad. Big boxing fan but not much of a historian however I’ve made the effort to watch plenty of Hagler’s fights. A proper fighter.

    Probably one of the greatest boxers of all time. His fights with Sugar Ray Leonard and Hearns were fantastic fights in what was a fantastic era for boxing. RIP

    The one v Hearns was like a 15 round fight condensed into 3 rounds...brutal.

    Sad news. The scraps with Roberto & Sugar Ray were absolutely legendary.
    Joe Frazier told Hagler, "You have three strikes against you, "You're black, you're a southpaw, and you're good."
    RIP, Marvellous Marvin.

    Sad night for British boxing that, didn't minter say in the build up a black man would never take his belt. Then hagler hammered him in 4 rounds and the London crowd didn't like it.
