Marvelous Marvin Hagler - Career Recap

[@obriel1234]

No ducking, no excuses, no politics, just a fighter at his heart and one of the greatest to ever do it. We will never forget you, Marvin.

[@marvelous1358]

They don't make them like him anymore

[@Bow-to-the-absurd]

Boxing tried to prevent guys like hagler from realising greatness. Now, fighters like him are the only thing that can save it

[@juliusluisventura2095]

The Marvelous One is one of my favorite fighters. He is truly one of the greatest warriors I've seen. We will never forget you, Mr. Hagler.

[@josemucarselsacoto5122]

Legends live forever. Hail Marvelous Marvin Hagler, the best of the best. Hail Rummy's corner for being a cut above the rest. 👊

[@mikespano6339]

My grandfather was an absolute boxing fanatic, I consider myself one too. I have watched over 200+ fights in my life with my grandfather before he passed. He was an old school Italian, his favorite fighter of all time was Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Built on a what seemed like a never ending hard road to success, molded Marvelous to become the one of the greatest middleweights of all time. I love watching Rummy’s corner because of how everything is broken down, put in order, and described to the audience. I love boxing and I think Rummy’s corner does an amazing job educating people about the legendary fighters we once had and how they made their own mark in history. Marvelous Marvin Hagler was special

[@gametimex3969]

I had no idea how much of a beast he was in the 70s

[@themanftheworld8439]

His peak was the early 80s.

[@paranoyd29906]

Bro was a real problem, I remember them fights with sugar and others. Marvin was war ready everytime

[@capitalcitygoofball1987]

another master class history lesson. Man what a career.

[@mrtjpeno1141]

Thanks Rummy. A man often forgotten about. What a legend. I certainly never forgot. Honest as they come A humble man deserving of much respect

[@WarLasso]

"Often forgotten about"? I haven't seen any fan, fighter or journalist that doesn't put him among the best of the best. He might've been underrated in his early career, struggling to get a well deserved title shot, but once he became undisputed champion he earned the respect of the boxing world, and his impressive strike of succesful title defenses only cemented it. Everybody remembers in awe his victory over Hearns, most people agree he deserved a win against Leonard, etc. And since his retirement, his legacy is well known and respected as the legendary fighter he was. If there are forgotten or underrated fighters, I don't think Hagler is one of them.

[@vantheman1244]

Rummy this is your best work. This is a boxing historical filming document. An important piece of work that should win an award. Take my hat off to you Sir. Bristol, England

[@Siscon92]

You know what I love about this channel? It goes straight into the content and it’s always of very high quality. You can tell Rummy does this coz he just loves Boxing and not bc he wants KZbin fame. Yet again another classic Rummy thx for that

[@theannouncer5538]

The fact that he legally changed his name to Marvelous is champion tier on its own

[@randalflagg3765]

Outdone yourself Rummy. Some of the stuff your putting out will absolutely stand the test of time as all time great boxing docs.

[@richinyv1]

I wasnt a Hagler fan back in the 80s'but looking back now 35 years later i was a fool not to love this guy and what he accomplished. much respect....WAR!!!

[@abinadvd]

There was not war ... He said "Come and beat me. After we will drink some beers. It is just a hard game between us.". This (exceptional) man was "respect". He is still "The boxer" (meaning I have the talent,ok...But I work and work for the event.) An incredible champion.

This tribute you made is beautiful and heartfelt. Well done rummy.

[@finallevel29]

RIP MMH! Dedicated himself to his craft and reached the very top! Absolute pleasure to watch this Mr Rummy!! 👊💥💯

[@albertovelezjr]

Why did it take so long for him to get a title shot? This guy was beating all opposition. Why when he finally wins the title the fans were irritated? This guy was tough, he took all comers and dominated all his fights, even the once they gave to his opponent. Rest In Peace great Marvin🙏🏼

[@martindunstan8043]

Legend or BS has it that Minter ' allegedly' said that no black man was going to take his title and because Marvelous decided otherwise the fans went mental!damn shame and disgraceful. I don't know if this is accurate for certain,just what I remember at the time👍RIP The Marvelous one 🙏♥️🥊

[@mrniceguy7168]

He wasn’t a charismatic pretty boy, I guess.

[@osurpless]

@@martindunstan8043 Alcohol can do that to a person, and while that’s not an excuse, it reminds me of Wesley Crouch’s words on Jack Johnson vs Jim Jeffries: “To tell you the truth, I think actually Johnson probably could’ve beaten him much earlier than he did. And I think that he was probably smart enough to know that if he had gone in there and really beaten him down immediately, there might actually have been a riot...” Unforgivable Blackness - The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson

[@ikedysonlive7511]

@@martindunstan8043 I am British. Everything you said is true. Minter certainly said he didn't want to lose his title to a black man. Tough luck, Alan. Anyway, Rest In Peace to both of them.

[@MrBendylaw]

The famous quote is: "You've got three strikes against you. You're black, you're left-handed, and you're good". Can't recall who said it, but it was to Hagler.

😄😄😄

[@ononoma]

Well done! I was waiting for you to put something out about Marvin, but you took your time and you did it well:-) it's really hard to believe he's gone. Fucking virus. I was in college when Marvin middleweight champion. I was playing football and also had been doing some amateur boxing. One guy in my gym went with me to see Hagler vs. Hearns and he was a Hearns fan. After the first round we looked at each other and we're just shell-shocked and joyful. Neither one of us talked trash and we knew this wasn't going to go the distance but we didn't know who was going to finish up right. I think Marvin one of the greatest middleweight champion for some reason, his determination and always staying in shape, the fact that he had to wait so long to get the championship belt, that he got screwed against Vito antuofermo, but from a boxing standpoint I think it's biggest Advantage was he was just as good from the left as from the right. He never had to change his footwork. A lot of guys can go lefty or righty to be cute and maybe score a punch here there but Marvin was his good from one side as the other. So he might engage as a southpaw and finish you off as a conventional fighter or vice versa. That Talent which I haven't seen another fighter, along with his tenacity and always being in shape and conducting himself like a champion make him great. It's hard to say he's the greatest of all time only because of Sugar Ray Robinson. 2guys that in their Prime I'm sure would have brought out the best in each other. But he's the best in my lifetime and I haven't seen anybody in that Division come close. I love Sugar Ray Leonard but he was a bitch he should have bought Hagler when he said he was going to instead he sat ringside for 5 years and through commentary and studied Marvin Walmart oven for people like Tommy Hearns and Mugabe. Then when he agreed to fight Marvin he pushed it down 12-round. I remember him saying he couldn't have gone another three rounds and he lost 10 pounds in the rain. Every time I watch this fight I have it a draw or or Marvin by one round. Granted they are hard rounds to judge because they're all very close. I think Marvin's one mistake was he wanted to fight Sugar Ray from a conventional stance. He hated the guy so much he wanted to knock them out and do it old school. And I remember watching that fight in a public forum oh, the last fight I ever paid for, and honestly I think Ray got a lot of Goodwill from the judges because everybody expected him to be knocked out early. I give him credit for being competitive but just because you are a welterweight and you moved up middleweight and you didn't get knocked out in the first three rounds doesn't mean you get to win every round you survive. Also Marvin tried to have a rematch with Ray but Ray had already dictated the terms in the first fight, and now that he had the title he just made it possible for Marvin and God bless Marvin he just said fuck you and went to Italy and made movies. Just like Lennox Lewis that was somebody I was glad to see leave boxing when he did. Left the sport with his mind and body intact. You don't see that a lot so when you care about somebody you're grateful they finish when they should. Although I don't think one more fight with Leonard would have hurt him, rated want to fight fair the first time who the hell thought he was going to fight fair at the second time. John mugabi, Thomas Hearns, Mustafa hamsho twice, Juan Roldan, Tony Simpson oh, and this is just when he became champion look at his record before he became Champion he fought the toughest of the tough. I can't put them above Sugar Ray Robinson but I can't put in below either. Something they both had in common was when someone beat them comet in the rematch they would kick that person's ass. People like Pretty Boy Floyd don't understand that. Because they play it safe. Unfortunately maybe boxing rewards that but I would put hagler's body work against any one of the modernaire even if they claimed they were undefeated. And I'd like to see someone try and switch hit like Marvin. I haven't seen it since he retired. Thank you for a great video to a great man!

[@MichaelVLang]

Great vid. Those two utterly savage and painful rights to Minter were perfect, right on point. What a marksman. Boxing was a lot of fun back then. Just huge.

[@MarkieC1990]

Sadly I wasn’t born until 1990 and I missed some great boxing through the late 70’s and 80’s, but what a great fighter Marvin Hagler was. Credit to yourself Rummy for such great videos, one of my favourite KZbin channels, greetings from the UK.

Brilliant video once more. I hadn't realised how tough Haglers road to the top was. That Philadelphia circuit seemed to be fill of top draw fighters, several of whom I must admit had never heard of before now.

[@autiebell1357]

As a young Man growing up in the 70's and 80's there was a lot of life lessons to be learned from watching Marvin Hagler. Lost in time is what an incredible hardship Marvin faced just trying to get a shot at the title. Then the Antuofermo Theft. Then the Minter Riot. When we talk about Racism in sports, this was the Real Deal. Through it all Marvin Carried himself Like a Man Should. I will never forget him.

[@ams4374]

Thanks for this Geoffrey. As a Hagler fan, I've seen the Hagler story covered many times over but this was fascinating as the coverage and commentary focused on observing Hagler's boxing technique inside the ring. The significant coverage of his early career pre-championship fights also serves to highlight Hagler's footwork, combinations and punch accuracy that weren't necessarily so obviously on display during the super fights of the latter part of his career even if his conditioning, jab and chin were ever present. RIP Marvelous Marvin.

As for fighters going up in weight to fight Hagler, what do you expect for him to do? lose, Sorry Charlie, hate to disappoint you. Plus Mike McCullum was not more important than Mugabi, Hearns and Ray Leonard , either way Hagler would of clobbered him.
