“Who fights John the beast Mugabi when you didn’t have to?” Says it all
That fight took so much out of both fighters , especially Mugabi. It remains perhaps THE most brutal/tough fights that I have ever seen. I'm now wondering if hard gruelling fights like this ended up shortening Marvin's life ?
So true
@@TheHumbuckerboy of course
@@TheHumbuckerboy They said Hagler pissed blood after the fight. True warrior
@@stephenhymesjr.9996 I also remember that same distressing thing happening to Nigel Benn after he had fought McClellan . Boxing can be a savage, punishing, brutal sport !
He was the epitome of "DISCIPLINE"...always in shape, never got out of shape.
Marvelous Marvin Hagler is the greatest middleweight of all time, and an example of dedication, rest in peace champ 💪🏽💯
Not the greatest but, Hagler is right there with Sugar Ray Robinson.
@@6971robi nah he was definitely one of the greatest and could of beat sugar
@@marcusjuavni5039 man he's the best switch hitter of all time for sure
@@marcusjuavni5039 .....Get out of here! Sugar Ray Robinson and then Hagler. Muhammad Ali's idle and fighting style from Sugar Ray Robinson.
@@6971robi Also dont forget Monzon. He was also VERY special and many believe even better than Hagler.
rest in peace, Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Whenever i hear or read the word "undisputed," i am always reminded of you: the undisputed middleweight champion of the world! i will always remember you, champ!
death by vaccine
"REAL FIGHTER!" NOTHING ARTIFICIAL ABOUT MARVIN! BLOOD AND GUTS!
The vaccine killed him
@Peter Morris Direct warnings No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death associated with the administration of a vaccine after October 1, 1988, solely due to the manufacturer's failure to provide direct warnings to the injured party (or the injured party's legal representative) of the potential dangers resulting from the administration of the vaccine manufactured by the manufacturer. Unavoidable adverse side effects; warnings (1) No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death associated with the administration of a vaccine after October 1, 1988, if the injury or death resulted from side effects that were unavoidable even though the vaccine was properly prepared and was accompanied by proper directions and warnings.
@Peter Morris I sent the link but UA-cam keeps deleting it
Teddy Atlas absolutely nailed this. My God he got me teared up for my Brockton brother.
Rest in power Marvelous
Undisputed champion for 7 years that’s insane
And that's after having 49 fights before even getting a shot at the title
Never be done again.
Hagler, Hopkins, Monzon, Robinson are in a separate group of middleweight greats.
@@stuartcoy6287 yeah, that’s the big thing, 49 fights before he gets a title shot? Lomachenko was in a title fight in like his 5th pro fight.
@@brandnew9834 Hagler and Monzon are the Top Two middleweight kings for me.
The Great Sugar man was at his peak at welterweight, and very inconsistent at middleweight.
And Hopkins was in a relatively weak 160lb division in my opinion.
You could see Teddy Atlas struggling to try and find the adequate words to praise Marvelous Marvin Hagler and it's difficult because Hagler was so much greater than you could explain to anyone. He was the epitome of the word Champion.
Great comment.
He didn't struggle.
@@mro9608 Teddy's words were heartfelt and very much a tribute, I was saying that when he said "he was being dramatic" he was searching to say more but no matter how much you speak about Hagler's greatness in the end words alone fall short of just how great this man was as a boxer and a man.
He was attacking Sugar Ray Leonard incognito trust me. Ray did win the gold in the 76 Olympics then $40,000 in hiz first pro fight while Marvelous under $100 in hiz first fight neither did Hagler make the 76 Olympics either. So yes teddy was attacking Leonard.
😄 Marvin had one of those wooden things that kids used for ice cream
Hagler never cheated the sport, NEVER!
Exactly. But the sport did cheat him. His draws and losses were b.s.
@@driftFree13 I just watched Leonard vs Hagler after all these years. I was scared to watch because I didn’t want to see him lose. I was happy that I saw him win even though he lost. He should have been undefeated.
@@JoeCool-fb7uf Very true! The announcers obviously favored cocaine Leonard (his own admission), which also swayed viewers. You know how media propaganda works. They would get excited when Leonard thew a bolo punch. But they would never mention how Hagler blocked it perfectly (even when it was below the belt). Leonard would throw a flurry of punches and Hagler would block them all. Watch that fight with the volume off and you'll know what I mean.
Toughest SOB I ever saw. He was the last of the throwbacks. He was my hero as a kid. He will be missed!!
Marvelous Hagler deserves a statue in his hometown
@Joepie De poepie Okey dokey, i respect this man too much to entertain any arguments like this especially at this point
@Joepie De poepie You suck at sarcasm. Cancel these nuts.
@Joepie De poepie your cancelled
@@James.k1373 it was sarcasm fool
We have one in Brockton
Simply Marvelous. We're gonna miss you, Marvin.
He died after getting the vaccine.
💉💉💉💉
Best eulogy I've heard in a long time. That pulled tears.
He was one of the 4 kings, the best ever group of fighters. Rest in peace Marvin you were amazing.
Duran
@@rogermartin798 Yes he was one of them, another great fighter
@It doesn’t matter What your name is Hagler, Duran, SRL, Hearns. those are the golden age of middleweight and yes, hagler is the king of kings
@It doesn’t matter What your name is well i think max did a quote some time ago, that heavy weights will always be interesting even to this day, but middleweight isn't. compared to the 80's, where middleweight classes are the main events card its quite true since until 86 (where tyson start and booms) middleweight is all the one matters
Hearns
One of the toughest hardest working champions ever he did not dodge any person and had a honor code that he never swayed from
You got that right my brother
Amen. He didn't dodge any fighter! The 80s had some real warriors who wanted to know if they were better than you. Salute champ 🏆
@ Tim Hague he did duck Mike McCallum so did Hearns and Leonard too.
@@umarabdul-ali6868 didn’t he knockout Julian Jackson I don’t no if he dodged him or it was politics but that would have been a great fight and even better trilogy
In an era where undefeated Errol Spence doesn't fight Terrence Crawford for whatever reason, Marvin Hagler and his era of no-duckery, straight up baddest man on tha block, is sorely missed.
To bad Hagler didn't hear this tribute from Atlas. Well said Teddy....
Maybe he did
Well said
He was the Great 👍of all time nobody can touch him yet
Of course he did. The flesh dies. But the soul never dies.
Oh he heard it!
He didn’t just fight John “The Beast” Mugabi , he put him on his back.
Mugabi was a fearsome proposition but Marvin proved yet again who the king was. This is one of the most punishing fights that I can remember watching. Mugabi was never the same after this encounter and I am also wondering now if gruelling fights like this ended up shortening Marvin's life ?
@@TheHumbuckerboy it will always be speculation but i don’t think so . Marvin was always in top condition and never appeared punch drunk or slow. He didn’t hang on to long , and really In most of his fights he was the one doing extreme damage . By all accounts whatever took the champ home was sudden and unexpected from what we know .
@@zman8340 Yeah, Marvin always had articulate speech whereas some other fighters from his era and even more recent fighters have slurred speech. Even Marvin's old opponents such as Tommy Hearns and Roberto Duran haven't aged well in comparison whereas Marvin seemed much healthier . Hopefully we shall know the cause of his passing.
My great hero went to another world. I thank Marvin for all these epic bouts. Rest in peace legend.
Marvin was one of my favorite boxers ... this is definitely tragic ! Today's boxers can't hold a candle to Hagler .. Teddy did a Great job paying tribute to
"Marvelous Marvin Hagler" !
You've got that right sir, In both statements!!! R.l.P champ!
Why knock down others to compliment someone tho? That’s divisive and negative.
@Roger Ramjet You still don’t need to tear boxers of today down. Marvin is too great for that. His resume speaks for itself.
@@dantegood2195 Truth is today's fighters don't want to fight the best.. just look at Terence Crawford and Mayweather .. both of them never fought the best boxers in their prime... That's just facts.. by contrast Hagler fought everybody ! Boxing's popularity is way down because you almost never see the fights you really want to see !
The truth is not negative... it is what it is ..
Don’t care what anybody says he beat Ray Leonard
True that
No question
YUPPPPP
@BOY Bye Fact
Every Time i watch the fight, Hagler appears to win more and more
Rest in peace champ meanest most brutal man ever in the ring nicest and most polite outside of it
@Judy sorry for your loss
@Judy no problem
When the GR8 trainer Teddy Atlas speaks about a Boxer! Everyone listens. This tribute to the "Marvelous Marvin Hagler" was the truth.
"He had no spoon!" Classic Teddy.
good humor
I remember those wooden things they gave out as kids for the ice cream.
The word 'legend' doesn't BEGIN to describe Hagler! Thank you, Mr. Hagler!
He was my favorite fighter since I was a kid in the 80’s. Man, that’s heartbreaking.
The toughest SOB to ever put on a pair of gloves. Rest in peace Marvelous, you were Marvelous indeed!
These young generations will never truly understand FAB 4...it was an honour to get to know MARVELOUS MARVIN HAGLER...i will never ever forget him as long as iam a guest on EARTH
Agreed.
My favorite fighters of all time: Muhammad Ali, Marvin Hagler, and Mike Tyson in that order
Add Julio Shaves Sr and that’s my top 4
And evander Holyfield
@@ccl7983 But steroids
I need to agree with you!
@@maxmx767 so what?
I wanted Tommy Hearne's to win but boy Marvin was the greatest....R.I.P Champ.
Can’t say Hagler without mentioning the Hitman aka the Motor City Cobra
I grew up about an hour north of Tommy Hearns so I was crushed when he lost to Hagler but Hagler was the best middleweight I've ever seen
John Hatchel Marvin was the best because he beat greats like The Hitman aka THE Motor City Cobra!
Can’t say Hagler without mentioning “The Fight”
Both were true warriors...
He got burned in the sugar ray fight and never stepped in the ring again. My favorite all time boxer.
What's crazy is that Hagler didn't have a problem training and staying ready for war. He actually just hated the politics. How does a boxer go 49 pro fights without even so much as a title bout?
@@GreatMewtwo he was badAss, he would run backwards for miles in the sand. His workouts were legendary !
Hagler vs Hearns round one was the greatest round ever in boxing. Rest in power champ, you will be remembered for ever.
My favorite fighter and the best middleweight of all time. At a time when the middleweight division was at its all time best he was the best of the best.
As a kid in Boston back in the 80's he was our Superman. He was the best.
You must be young .because Sugar Ray Robinson is believed to be the best ever at middle weight
@@umarabdul-ali6868 I'm sorry but Robinson was undersized and would eventually get walked down and chopped down by Hagler. He was great, and one of the greatest but Marvelous was built for war. He had a head and neck like an anvil and could switch stances with ease.
@@thereturnoftheprodigalyams6763 to each hiz own and I totally disagree, Robinson's
@@thereturnoftheprodigalyams6763 Robinson 's walk around weight around 172lbs and he was 5,11And he punched like a light heavyweight with great foot work. I take Robinson by a majority decision 10 out of 10 times .
Them first 3 rounds with hearns are the best I've ever seen straight 💣💣 bombs absolute warrior. REST UP CHAMP
You mean Hearns?
The way boxing is
@@Highznberg yeah
MR.Dot1 check out the Michael Moorer vs Alex Stewart fight.
Marvelous Marvin Hagler: the real Mr. Tough Guy.
Hagler deserves every bit of the recognition. The guy was great !
Although I never got to meet him in person, I hold no other sportsman in higher esteem than Marvin !
Amazing fighter kids don't know
My Favorite middleweight of all time may he rest in heaven
True professional!
Prepared, then performed EVERYTIME.
They dont make fighters like him!
I was just watching a ton of his old clips AMAZING BOXER with thumping power the boxing world just lost an all time 👍
@Clarence Whorly they are giving blacks fake vaccines
The BEST! I love his game and workmanship
He displayed the sweet science
It was a shock when i heard the news that Marvellous had passed. A sad day indeed. 🥊🇦🇺
Satan crosses the street when he sees Marvin Hagler coming.
You got that right.
Thanks for saying that
I wouldn't doubt it. Hagler was like a train coming at you
Would have loved a Hagler- Monzon fight.
@@victorcarrillo1570 Monzon would have won. A close decision, but Carlos would have nicked it.
Ok,that was a stupid statement. Is this Teddy Atlas?
Saw Marvin fight at 'The Rosemont Horizon',I was a kid,and very impressed!!! Sending condolences to his wife & family,rest well Mavelous!
My favorite middle weight of all-time
Woke up this morning, Sunday, looked in my phone and read the late, I just kept on reading, stopped, went back with my heart racing, and there it was, he died last night, Respect Honor Recognize the best middleweight champion and fighter I ever saw. Rest in peace.
I'm just glad I was old enough to watch marvelous fights. Me and my friends would get a case of 40 of old English and trip on how brutal he was. I didn't know him but his death hit me like someone in my family died. Rest in peace champ
I remember growing up enjoying the sound of his name
Easily one of the best boxing names ever.
MAAAAHHHHVVVAAALUUUUSSS
I really hope he gets the Respect he truly deserves...he is one of my top 5 p4p Boxing greats.
The boxing world love and appreciate the marvellous one
I really hope he gets the Respect he truly deserves by talking about what really killed him. The experimental MRNA shot ! Just like Hank Aaron.
@@jayyv5059 what time are the riots kicking off, is there anything to smash up from the previous riots
@@haberdasheryandspam hahahaha nope. antifa and blm did all the rioting. Btw they have Democrat funds bailing them out of jail.
@@jayyv5059 exactly blm will be in uproar because Marvin got a racist jab
Only 66 years old, what a shame. Fantastic boxer, one of the best!
Favorite boxer of all time and greatest middleweight ever. I remember him skipping the olympics because he said" gold medal don't put groceries on the table. Rest easy Marvelous
I’m a Leonard fan but Hagler got robbed
@Judy Hagler was 33, Leonard was 31. Two years wouldn't make ANY difference considering Hagler was a fitness freak, ALWAYS in top condition.
Yeah he got robbed. It was a shame.
He didn't he fought a boxer
@Judy I don’t think Leonard won. And I was rooting for Leonard to win cause I knew he was the underdog but he didn’t really win
Same Leonard say how he stole points by creating a vision when he displayed flurries of soft punches at the end of a few rounds
That fight at most should’ve been a draw
You are right there
Hagler, Could switch from southpaw to orthodox effortlessly.
Box at range, fight inside - stand and slug, box and move.
Had great stamina and an iron chin.
Excellent hand speed.
And took on all comers.
The perfect champion.
Any way you wanted to fight Marvin, he'd beat you. He'd fight his opponent's style just to let them know who was the best.
well said
I remember watching Hagler v Hearns! What a fight. Hagler was the best of his time.
Never got knocked down and the three loses were all controversial. My favourite fighter in all weight classes.
He got knocked down by Roldan. Nevertheless, he was one of the greatest middleweight champions ever.
@@mandarkastronomonov2962
Technically it was a knock down and the referee decision is final, but I think he was pushed and slipped. I think that was Marvellous Marvin account I would not have argued!
Teddy is spot on with his comments about Marvelous Marvin Hagler They don't make men like that anymore
My favorite boxer of all time 💪🏽
Brockton stand up. Marvin hagler one of the greats. Rest In Peace.
newark hes from
Thank You Teddy! I've been searching for someone to voice the feelings I have in my heart for Marvelous Marvin, and you nailed it.
thanks Teddy for your wonderful emotional tribute to a boxer and man who rightfully deserved to be called Marvelous. his defeat of John "the Beast"
destroyed Mugrabi who could never be the same again. fight fans are shocked, saddened and in mourning for the loss of this truly great champion
He gave us one of the best fights vs Hearns.
I knew Marvelous Marvin Hagler well after all when he came to Brockton in 1968 we became friends. He was a hardworker and we even talk about boxing and other sport. He was determined to be a champion because he had the work ethic and the dreams to be a champion and he deserved every bit it to be one. Know doubt he will be remembered. By the boxing world and his roots from Brockton Massachusetts. God bless your soul and may you rest in peace. A true friend Melvin Lightford
"punches seemed to bounce off him like bullets off superman". . .yeah, I really noticed that!
Pound for pound one of the all-time best. He did everything great. He had no weaknesses.
The best of his era hands down. Most importantly he never changed who he was, Corruption in boxing made him walk out.
The fight vs Duran is one of the best technical showing of great fighters I’ve ever seen.
Underrated IMO
Hagler, Hearns, Duran and Leonard. What a time
A great champion with an Incredible will to win in the ring. I was a big Tommy Hearns fan back then, but my hat was off to Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Still is. Rest In Peace, Champ. 🙏✊❤️
he was one of the best ever. enjoyed watching his fights growing up
He was my Favorite Boxer of all time.
I wish there were more Hagler's around today. You always knew you were going to see an exciting fight with Marvin. You never went home disappointed.
Goat
"THE MARVIN MAN". SIMPLY THE BEST. GONE TOO SOON!!!
Why didn't they say that he died after getting the COVID-19 vaccine?
Did he tho ?
@@ayolaipo Yes Tommy Hearns confirmed it.
Hank Arron died too after getting a vaccine i heard
They won't report that. Vaccine companies cannot be sued anyhow they have non liability clause in legislation.
Conspiracy weirdO's
Goosebumps man , all you have is your character when your gone...💪🏾💯🥊
As much as I love sugar Ray and wanted him to win that fight I always felt like Hagler never got the respect he deserved. Consummate professional, and just a downright SCARY DUDE, dude but a SWEET GUY.
I agree ! There is no doubt Sugar Ray Leonard did much better than the whole world figured he would but he still did not win that fight Marvelous Marvin Hagler won that fight have much respect that man for walking away from the sport that has so much corruption in it sad to see the true legend leave this earth God bless him and rest in peace best champ ever well next 2 Muhammad Ali of course I'm from Louisville got to give it to Muhammad is my all-time favorite the greatest love Marvin Hagler though
You got that right !
Ray Leonard ran from Hagler that whole fight, I believe that Bob Arum paid off them judges.
@@bossplayermfs5972 I hate suger and hagler was my favorite, BUT it was a close fight very close but most feel hagler won.
The only way to really honor Marvin Hagler is to be honest about what killed him. Tommy Hitman Hearns had enough integrity to be honest about what killed Marvin Hagler. Too bad many others don't have enough integrity to do the same.
That’s right. To use Haglers name as part of the mass coverup by the mockingbird press is a slap to everyone’s face.
@@jayyv5059 I'm not surprised though of course they're not gonna let a black boxer's death get in the way of their billion dollar drug campaign.
Hagler's wife announced on Hagler's Facebook page that it WAS NOT THE VACCINE. Crystal clear.
@@Jinsun202 Jackie Kennedy said Lee harvey oswald killed Kennedy too but
Everyone knows LBJ and Bush did it now.
after succumbing to the pressure the story changed but the people know it was the shot. Just like Hank Aaron. And just like other less famous people.
There are Doctors on the record stating how dangerous the experimental shot ,how easily it can cause death and how its nor a traditional vaccine but an mrna shot.
This man was a King. Rest In Peace brother.
With censorship and everything I don’t think they are allowed to talk about how he died.
62-3- 2 with 52 Knockouts/Marvelous Record!!
'Marvelous' Rest in piece brother
This hit hard 4 me...one of my fav fighters but idol of a human being.
What a wonderful tribute by Teddy Atlas for a tremendous man and a
Champion for the Ages.
Repeat and prayers to The Great Marvin Hagler, I remember being a kid and seeing all the Men watch and root for Hagler. An all time great is an understatement
1. "Sugar" Ray Robinson
2. Muhammad Ali
3. "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler
Rest in peace, Champ.
Yeah,the REAL Sugar Ray
You got the order backwards
My favourite boxer. A legend. Greetings from the uk
One of my favorite fighters
I rmember watchin him running in combat boots on the beach in freezing cold. Me and my pops favorite fighter. JS
I remember seeing run in vegas one day. A man dedicated to fitness.
Tipping my hat to one of the greatest fighters of all time, man was he tough straight old school punch you in the face type of dude
The best i've seen,never anything other than his best every time he fought, a colossus of boxing and a gent
Marvin, my hero when I was a teen back in the 80s. Piece for your soul, brother Marvelous. From Chile with love
i watched his fights last week always remember watching the minter fight i thought my god this guy is gonna be unbeatable
Can’t believe it. One of my top 3 fighters of all time!! Don’t get me going on Sugar Ray fight! Lol
My all time favorite boxer
1 Teddy Atlas speaks people listen .. people died but legends live forever . Thanks for the Memories ..
I still can’t believe he’s dead ‘ I thought he’d live forever ‘ I sometimes imagine I was Marvin ‘ but I can only dream ‘ Marvin was champ ‘ and forever.
Thanks 🙏
I was born in Newark,NJ. He meant so much to us. For those of us that wasn't born with a silver spoon In our mouves. He made us believe that we could make our dreams a reality if we put our minds to it.
Teddy, that is an awesome description of Marvin Hagler. One of my idols growing up.
A fighter's Fighter's...RIP Champ.. 7 years undisputed and fought everybody
As toughest as it comes when it comes to fighters.
He got the COVID shot last week shot folks. Put the pieces together and think rationally people.
I heard that was the first shot and the second one(kill shot) less than 24 hours ago.
Love Teddy, such a soldier in life. Inspiring
The entire fight between Hagler vs Hearns is short. So people can watch the entire thing on UA-cam. Only lasted 3 rounds. But that 1st round was the best. They just wailed at each other right away. No time wasted.
the john mugabe fight was brutal
