RIP.

 

Hagler-Hearns was epic. It's a shame that boxing eventually became irrelevant to me, Hagler was part of it's great history.

One of the best fighters I ever saw. RIP Marvelous Marvin thanks for the memories.

 

You beat Sugar Ray too.

My fav fight ever, though I was much more of a Hitman fan. Loved Hagler too, hated Sugar Ray. RIP.

Nothing against Hagler, but I was on Hitman too. Hagler was a southpaw, no?

Leonard and Hagler were past their prime when they fought. Leonard made demands for more padded gloves and a bigger ring before he agreed to fight Hagler.

 

Leonard was rich beyond any boxer then, but wanted one last big pay day, like Hagler no doubt, who did not earn Leonard's kind of money during his career.

 

That is when I lost respect for Leonard.

A great moment in sports.  Richard Steele was a third great in that ring btw.

Strong call. Reminded me of a guy I haven't thought of for awhile: Mills Lane. Always felt the fight would be legit when he was in the ring.

 

Sadly, a quick google revealed Mills had a debilitating stroke years ago.

one of the toughest guys ever. Suddenly no more word about whether the vaccine played a part in his demise
