Sibson was no mug but marvin as sibson said was a master of the ring . Had a cry this morning RIP MR HAGLER

[@mikes3827]

Agreed. Aside from Hagler's supreme boxing ability, what I always liked about him was HOW down-to-earth he was, NEVER an asshole towards his fans. I suppose that was due to him coming up the ranks without getting any breaks, yet he never bitched and whined about it, he just put in his work, as always. My friend and I saw Hagler-Hearns back at the old Boston Garden, and the intensity and fever pitch was SO great, it felt like the fight was live inside the Garden.

[@matthewgreiner2766]

I was at the fight. Hagler was a machine that night. Being from Massachusetts myself so i may be biased but Hagler was the GOAT. I remember a lot of British fans with their flags. They did get a surprise when they left. It was sunny when we went in and about 18 inches of snow when we left. It was nuts. Had to push cars out of the lots. Saw Hagler fight Scypion in Providence also. That was when tickets were reasonable, we paid $30 for each fight.

[@noelwhitman1788]

Hagler, Duran, Hearns, Leonard, Arguello, to name a few, etc..and that is just a couple of divisions. What an era for boxing. It produced legendary A leaguers and great B leagers.

[@robertmcadam2216]

Sibson was as tough as nails but Hagler was one of the greatest fighters ever in any division.

[@fiveowaf454]

Hagler was a brawler, but he had very fast hands and great movement, one of my all time favorites. The worst thing for opponents was that when they did land, he seemed completely impervious to anything they hit him with and just kept on coming.

[@robertmcadam2216]

Hagler was no brawler, he possessed immense speed, power and a tight defence. His move from southpaw to orthodox was seamless and the gazelle punch fooled many world class fighters. Hagler was one of the greatest fighters of all time, no one who brawls can achieve that. Marciano fought from a crouch that Archie Moore thought was easy until he got in the ring Marvin Hagler would find a way to beat every middleweight he fought. He beat Leonard, I know Leonard and think he lost. He ducked no one and that alone elevates him to the very greatest of all time. He is coherent, modest and deserves recognition - to call him a brawler is an obscenity.

[@fiveowaf454]

@@robertmcadam2216 I guess we have a different definition of a brawler, to me the term implies nothing against anyone's skill, it's just a fighting style Hagler came to fight, walk people down and take it to them.

[@johnmoore9862]

I recall Hagler being described as a boxer/fighter, call him whatever you want, he was one of the best pound for pound fighters ever.

'Marvelous' Marvin Hagler was the GREATEST middleweight EVER! Regardless of era, Marvin would have beaten ANY middleweight before him or since. A master boxer and destructive fighter, his skill and power were the best the division had or has ever seen. A TRUE WORLD CHAMPION.
