Astounded. I always imagined Marvin to speak with an American accent! His victory over Alan Minter (who I met in a pub once and was also astounded how small he looked) marred the image of British boxing re the bombardment of the ring. However, the Brits always respected him (not the idiots of that night) and regarded him as one of the best boxers ever.

Point takenBUT Herol was the number one contender and deserved his shot . For a period of time Herol was an excellent fighter. He sadly waited around too long for his shot and was denied. Marvin, of course was offered to fight Sugar Ray and so ignored Herol. Sugar Ray won and retired, leaving the belt vacant. Meanwhile Herol lost to the excellent Kalambay. Herol nearly pulled the win off against Jackson, but Jackson had scary power. I sat ringside and saw Julian against Mclellen...SCARY.

Marvelous Marvin the greatest middleweight of all time in my opinion and spot on about 15 round fights.I grew up watching 15 round fights and I've never agreed that 12 round fights are safer,look at the number of fatalities in boxing that come within the 12 round distance.Also I've never agreed with same day weigh ins,if there were check weighs in the weeks leading up to a fight then that could give an indication as to whether a fighter is making weight safely.

The 2 draws HAGLER had he won. 2 out of the 3 loses he had he won by decision. A wide majority of other pro fighters coaches trainers of his and other peoples believe he lost only one fight to a decision EVER. He's never ever been knocked to the canvas in a pro fight not one single time I am aware of... people examined his head (doctors) saying he has a different kind of skull, like its a helmet on the inside of his head or something. BEST CHIN I have ever seen, best switch up stance ever, superb heavy jab, great body punch, good hooks and uppercuts. One of the best WORK ETHICS EVER. TO ME IN MY OPINION he won 66 of 67 fights (52 knockouts) a superb amount of creditable and professionals would agree and have. LEGEND PERIOD

I’m a big hagler. And your wrong he didn’t win against Leonard. Hagler made one fatal flaw he agreed to Leonard’s demands making the fight a 12 round distance and not a 15 round distance. Hagler was a 15 round fighter. I think he was behind on the cards against Duran after 12 rounds. Hagler had no urgency in the final round. And he could’ve went another 3 rounds whereas Leonard was spent. Leonard stole the show during the fight and made Hagler look pedestrian

Hagler was one of the final throwback fighters from the golden age of boxing; he never had Robinson's skill (who did?), but it would have been an interesting matchup, as would Hagler vs Monson - Monson may have been too big and rangy for him; I know Hearns was big and rangy but Monson had better stamina, was tougher and could take a punch better than Hearns. I think Hagler's slow start and the fact he chose to box in the orthodox stance, for the early part of the fight, cost him the Leonard bout and his world titles. As good as Herol Graham was, I don't see him getting past Hagler, who, it has to be said, is one of the very best middleweights to ever grace a boxing ring (RIP Champ)

Watch the clip with Brent Musburger and Thomas Hearns....Hagler says that he plans to 'break every bone in his body' (referring to Tommy Hearns). The guy was vicious. But man...you are right BRUM...it seems he still has that killer instinct. Once a fighter always a fighter. I am glad they cut the tape, so they didn't show much more of that side of him. Hagler wasn't afraid of any of these guys. I often read on youtube that Hagler wouldn't fight Benn, Graham or McCallum...Please guys get serious!

He liked smaller lighter guys and brawlers. Well HBO did anyway. Slicker fighters he generally avoided. He rarely thew his best punch because he needed to get his feet set - only thew it once in the Leonard fight, but best punch of the fight. If you look at what he weighed at fight time he was almost a light-heavy and he never did half of what Micheal Spinks did or looked half as good. Would have been well beaten.

Marvin Hagler's claim to fame is a victory over Thomas Hearns, with Hearns breaking his famous right-hand in the opening round. Other than that victory, Hagler has a razor-thin points win over the former lightweight champion Roberto Duran. Leonard easily defeated Hagler.
