He was the total package as a fighter. He had it all. Aggression, movement, hard punches, skill, an incredible jaw, and heart like no other. Rest in peace to the Marvelous one. Marvelous Marvin Haigler will always be remembered.

[@sweet_science3163]

Absolutely 💯 even in sparring or other fights outside of the ring... Many of the man who are with him that still lives could testify how superb his physical strengthen condition was with that insane work ethics for that body... The chin and body and the longevity is all legendary.

[@mikeshinoda703]

Another comparable chin would be Golovkin. Hagler was one tough son of a gun though. Another really tough middleweight was hopkins.. He was rarely hurt. Not as tough as the former two though.

Best middleweight ever! And in the end, robbed. Being the man fighter he has always shown himself to be, he walked away and never looked back. Respect to you always Marvin Hagler.

[@hailacrunch4937]

I watched the fight in slow mo from beggining to end. I came to the conclusion that you score it in three ways without too much controversy. 7-5 for hagler, 7-5 for Leonard or a 6-6 draw. Definitely wasn't a robbery. Hagler really did himself a disservice coming out orthodox in the beginning and thinking he could outbox ray. Ray was really picking him apart at certain points until the marvin's relentless stalking caught up to him. He was also on his bike for most of the fight while hagler was plotting. Leonard was definitely exerting more energy. I do think however if it was 15 rounds like it should've been hagler might've stopped him or outpointed Leonard. Due to Leonard being on his last legs, no pun intended. I also felt hagler didn't go to the body enough and was lucky his head is made of cast iron because he was constantly being reckless, taking shots he didn't need to. In the end it was a beautiful fight. Leonard's footwork and pure boxing art was great. Also hagler's amazing conditioning and relentlessness was a treat to watch. A close but amazing battle. Just my take.

[@Yette]

I can't explain to folks the sense of pride growing up in Brockton, Mass as Marvin captured & retained the Middleweight crown for 8 years. Nobody in our city thought Marvin could be beaten by anybody. His toughness and professionalism were legendary. To have two of the greatest fighters of all time Marvin Hagler & Rocky Marciano come from the same city is remarkable, to have both guys signified by their grit, fortitude and perseverance is gratifying.

[@RAMIRO0]

Marvin Hagler was ok, but he was overrated. He lost to Leonard, Duran, and a bunch of other boxers and his only highlight is knocking out Tommy Hearns which wasn't even that good of a boxer to begin with. Marvin Hagler would have definitely lost Gennady Golovkin or Saul Canelo Alvarez.

True. A great fight, a criminally under rated fight, why ? coz Hagler won n Hagler had been destroying challengers for so long people just expected it. Had Mugabi won it woulda been classed as one of the greatest MW fights in history, definitely one of the best in the modern era (since 1980)

[@johncohen222]

Agree completely. Mugabi fought magnificently that night and would have won if he had been in the ring with anyone else. In another era, Mugabi would have been a long term, maybe even a great, champion, but he had the rotten luck of being around at the same time as the greatest middleweight champion of all time, Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

Everything he did has so much rhythm, like he was dancing.

[@SPIDERM0OSE]

He definitely was a rhythm boxer. I wouldnt say he was like dancing, typically yer not setting up strikes when yer dancing, unless its Capoeira. Boxing is all about rhythm, Robinson was a tap dancer after boxing, Ali, Leonard & Roy Jones were all rhythm guys too. Larry Holmes as well. Thing about Hagler was his versatility & unpredictability, nobody could upset his rhythm. There was no formula for "getting to him" Duran got to Leonard. Frazier got to Ali. There was no getting to Hagler, he had too many strings to his bow.

[@Lee-bz2xn]

@@SPIDERM0OSE Nicely said. It's the speed ball work and skipping in this footage that got me. He looks like he's moving to the beat of a song in his head. It's spot on rhythmic. The musician in me couldn't help notice.

[@SPIDERM0OSE]

@@Lee-bz2xn He more than likely trained with music. Skipping for sure helps but to me skipping gives coordination more than rhythm. Shadow boxing, especially to music would give him that dancer look (that I thought you seen) that I see when he fights & its when hes flinching n feinting n bobbing before he attacks you can see his rhythm, hes reading your reactions/body language but with Hagler each flinch, feint or bob he made gave him 4 or 5 attacking options on you, where as a good/great boxer, as opposed to an all time great one like Hagler was, may give himself 3 options. Hagler was just so versatile & very difficult to successfully attack tactically/consistently & he was equally offensively good. Ambidextrous in both attack & defence & he fought with a beautiful balance between the 2. 100% dedication to his craft, hours upon hours shadow boxing then sparring, applying & then fine tuning the concepts he had been thinking about during every quiet moment he had. Hagler was no accident or no fluke, he was kinesthetic intelligence & tactics, more master craftsman than artist. A Demolition expert. #Marvelous
