Marvin Hagler's Spartan-like Training & Monster Mindset that Made Him a Champ!

[@harrymelad942]

Marvin Hagler was the epitome of a professional boxer in every way and the best middleweight of them all in my eyes. He was never out of shape, trained for war, fought with style and controlled ferocity, whilst being an utter gentleman. He was always dignified and calm even when he was being disrespected. As an Englishman, I am embarrassed in the way he was treated by Minter and his fans when he won his title and was not able to celebrate his victory in the ring. Sadly he has gone too soon, but will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Marvelous.

[@c.galindo9639]

I say that he didn’t need the praise of those who were ungrateful and disrespectful. He just needed to prove his worth in the ring and let those who hate him for his achievements stay bitter in their lives meanwhile he went onto greatness

[@nickfranklin6495]

True. But why are you embarrassed as an Englishman? Your commentators would call it an 'intimidating atmosphere' 'those passionate die-hard fans' if such behaviour came from another nation. Beat your conditioning, stop apologising while youre being made extinct. Have you EVER received an apology from another nation? Doesnt happen. The part that was embarrassing, was how ill-advised Minter was taking that fight. (I sure you would be eager to agree).

I was actually recruited to spar with Marvin before he fought Ray Leonard and, on the way to Palm Springs, the guy who set it up for me to come out kept telling me "Don't talk to Marvin, just get in, show him angles and use your footwork but don't tick him off." When I got there, Marvin was walking around the gym grunting to himself about how he was going to pull my heart out. I was like, looks like he's already ticked off! He definitely had a place he needed to go to mentally which is why Ray was careful not to trash talk him before the fight. I talked to Ray a few years after he retired and he said, as soon as he saw Marvin switch to orthodox, he knew Marvin was, at least, temporarily, focused on trying to out box him which was a huge mistake. I still think the fight was super close but, if Marvin hadn't given away the early rounds trying to box Ray, he probably would have remained champ. Just my thought. Wish I'd "met" him under different circumstances so I could have spoken to him a bit, but he seemed like a good person.

A lot of times you see guys getting outpointed while stuck at the end of the opponents reach instead of pressing him.

[@nickfranklin6495]

Fight through the punches, then fight through again, and again. Very few people will withstand a third time. He took a huge calculated risk.

I tried to hang with The Champ but the strong steady pace was too much, especially once he hit the dunes. His physical fitness was something to behold and watching him train in the ring at the Provincetown Inn was an art form. One thing that should be said about Mr. Haggler was that he was a true gentleman. Humble and gracious to all he met.

Watching Marvin Hagler's training videos and witnessing his mastery in the ring moves me to my core. The dedication, focus, and raw emotion he pours into every punch, every movement, resonates deep within my soul. It's not just about boxing; it's about the relentless pursuit of a dream, the unwavering commitment to excellence that stirs something profound inside me. Hagler's craft is a testament to the power of passion and hard work, a reminder that greatness is achievable through sheer determination and heart.

Thanks for this great video Jamie. You presented some information about Hagler's training that I had not come across before. Your channel is excellent, and the effort you put in your videos is greatly appreciated by us Boxing fans. Keep up the good work.

Loved watching Hagler fight. The War with Tommy Hearns in 85 was one of the greatest fights ever. RIP Marvellous Marvin Hagler!!!

Favorite fighter of all time

[@markbutterworth6217]

Brilliant video which has really inspired me. I’m 57 and going for my 2nd Dan in Goju Ryu Karate next year. There is so much to take from this video. Old school hard core training and discipline is the best! Thanks 🙏

[@AliHassan-rj5gy]

Sheesh i cant wait to this type of videos the next video about how roy Jones jr train right 😀

[@zarhorton]

Beautiful piece! Hard working. I’m glad you honored him. Thank you this!

[@JayB2]

I'll never forget how Hagler absolutely DESTROYED Hearns. That was all guts. Hearns was hitting him with blows that would have flooded almost anyone. But Hagler walked through them & demolished Hearns. One of the top 5 greatest fights of all time.

[@nickfranklin6495]

It was...Hagler, full of blood

[@kinnionfarrell8327]

Really good presentation, thank you we all know how good Marvin was but you showed how he got there.

[@SOLE_II_SOUL]

I needed this. I was just practicing gazelle jab; I’m going to use it as a setup for a KO one day.

[@cerromeceo]

What a beautiful documentary well narrated and put together 👍👍 marvin hagler was a gem they dont make them like that anymore. Didnt rocky marciano wear combat boots to run everyday 🤔

[@BoxingLife]

Thank you and much appreciated! Yeah he was something else! Yeah not too sure about rocky but will need to do video on him too.

[@andyjackson304]

In my mind, Hagler is pound for pound the greatest fighter of all time. He held the Undisputed Middleweight Championship from 1980-1987. 12 title defenses in which he won 11 by KO. He could change stances so quickly that he could throw a punch from any angle. I've seen him KO opponents with his leaping bolo jab. Just an amazing boxer and an amazing person.

[@philipcrewe540]

Jamie that was truly marvellous edition , really enjoyed it, having lived through that golden era, this insight was fascinating on great all time champ, the Minter fight, put the hairs up on my back, the fight are still the best 4 rounds of boxing I’ve ever seen …

[@vinniedixon1140]

That's why he was a warrior and went to war every time he fought. Trained like a demon at Cape Cod and then unleashed the monster upon his opponents. Probably the 2nd best middleweight of all time after Sugar Ray Robinson.

[@7777srd]

I ws a dope using, adolescent fuck up as a kid when I discovered boxing (as a spectator) and it's been Hagler's work ethic that's kept me fighting addiction ever since. Marvelous Marvin, if somehow you can read this, Thank You, you're my favorite fighter ever.
