Tony Sibson, in his interview right after the fight, said he didn't feel too disappointed because he recognised even then that he had been beaten by 'a master in the ring.' He was right, but it was great to see an honest and talented fighter acknowledge an all-time great - as it was great to see MMH pay tribute to Sibson in his interview shown here. When boxing was king.

Haglers boxing iq was ridiculous. A lot of just think of him as a tough brawler. Hagler for me was like moulding Errol Spence and Roman Gonzalez into one human. Absolute beast. His boxing fundamentals, accuracy, chin, durability, fitness, workrate, inside fighting and power was both beautiful and rare. Truly the middle weight GOAT

Boxing has lost a monumental pugilist and imo in his prime the ‘Baddest man on the Planet’ No matter what Tyson fanboys say. This man epitomised everything the word ‘dedication’ to a sport means. He was and still is the fighter that inspired me to be the best version of me in any sport I tried. He’s the reason I Started Boxing as a callow youth and to this day admire the commitment it takes to succeed. He walked away owing the sport nothing and never unlike many others came back for a payday knowing he’d be cheating the public. A Mans Man and my boxing idol Marvelous Marvin Hagler!!! R.I.P 🙏

Sibson was a game fighter, but Hagler was at his peak around this time. He was beating Sibson to the punch, slipping punches, landing combos and moving extremely well. He was very confidant and his dominance was evident. This fight showed Hagler's great skills. Some big fights were still ahead of him, but at this point, it would've been tough for any Middleweight in history to beat him on that night.

[@mrmagoo491]

Marvin always had answer . He outboxed big punchers, and punished slick boxers, except for Leonard . The Leonard fight I thought he gave away the first few rounds , and didn’t fight his usual way. Awesome fighter. Chin of stone. Always in shape. RIP. Can’t believe he’s gone

[@grahamjones6106]

And this is why at this point in his career, he was and maybe still is the greatest pound for pound fighter that ever got in the ring.In his absolute prime, even Sugar Ray Leonard refused to face him.

[@joeblow2069]

Hagler throws 3 different types of right jabs. He has the quick double jab. The more standard jab and the big lam post jab that can knock you out. He's like a baseball pitcher who can mix it up and switch around. You have to love that.

[@stevekatz4372]

IMO, after watching Pro Boxing for 6 Decades and seeing the Greatest Boxers in those years, my pick for the best middle weight of all time, is Hagler! He has the best mixture of boxing skill with powerful punching power!

[@genghiskhan1836]

Hagler likes to move to his left when being defensive or exiting pocket. His main attacks come from angles in which he moving to his right. Poetry in motion as far as boxing technique although mostly known for his aggressive fighting style. So many wrinkles to his game. When u finally start to figure him out he switches to orthodox and starts bombing power left hooks from the outside. Or he will switch on the inside to sneak in a power shot seamlessly when his feet close together. Pure genius, super fun to watch. Never appreciated his abilities enough when I was younger but nowadays it’s incredible how talented and smart he was. In his prime was by far the best KinG.
