Love both of these guys. But most impressed with Duran who came up from lightweight to middleweight and gave one of the top 3 middleweights of all time all he wanted and then some. If you listen to Hagler, he is trying to convince himself he dominated which he did not.
MMV was a true champion - It is obvious that MMV just could not be KO’d ever. He was much too tough not only for Duran but also for the likes of Hearns, Mugabi etc. True tough guy, the Marvellous one.
@@jbd5870 Also people exaggerate that he was only good as a lightweight. Just because a fighter starts at a certain weight it dosent mean that has to be hes best weight. Fighters mature body wise. Duran lost at lightweight and he had by far hes best win at welterweight. Ive seen alot of Durans older fights and he never looked better then waht he did at 29 years old at welter Duran became middlweight champion 6 years after this and 14 years after this he beat Jorge Castro that was world class. Castro was a former world champ that later fought for the world cruiserweight title
MMV was a serious, no nonsense fighter. He was not interested in moving up or down etc. He wanted to be at his best EVERY time rather than chase glory by compromising. MMV is a true legend. RIP MMV
“Whooped” it was a tremendously close fight against a LIGHTWEIGHT legend. No disrespect to Hagler who was also a legend and a tremendous champion. Love both of them. RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler
In between fights, Duran's lifestyle was atrocious, & completely lacked discipline. This was A technical fight that Marvin needed. Marvin Hagler was never hurt in the fight, & for once in my opinion, Marvin Hagler didn't feel that "Killer Instinct" towards Duran. Throughout his entire career, if Duran would've had the discipline, character, & Drive that Hagler had during his entire career, Duran would've re-written all of Boxing history. Following this fight, both Fighters took different directions in their Boxing careers. Duran was knocked out by The Hit-Man Hearns in round 3, & The Champion Hagler went on to flourish even more as a true Champion.
We at ImaSportsphile really appreciate this comment....but the truth is that if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we would all have a merrier Christmas....however de Manos de Piedra did pretty good without discipline in writing the boxing history books.
Duran was the fighter of the 1970s; that's not even in dispute. He had his disciplined years at 135; everything else was just a bonus. And Hagler was a pansy who ducked catchweight meetings with Spinks et al.
We at ImaSportsphile are of the opinion that the boxing legend Roberto "Manos de Piedra" Duran was a natural lightweight.....who loved to party so much that he ballooned to a middleweight.....and along the way....he was never quite like he was in his prime and at his natural weight
@@rociosuastegui5673 Sure, he was a powerhouse in his prime as a lightweight. But his true greatness came in making the necessary adjustments to win titles in heavier weight divisions. Just the fact that prime Hagler didn't knock him out was impressive.
haggler was confused. he did not know what to fight Duran..Duran is not only a fighter he is a boxer . haggler only fight in one weight and Duran come all the weight from light weight and give you that kind of fight on your weight . you couldn't Duran knock him out. or put him in the ground . Duran was not in his best shape and give you a hell of the fight..ashamed on you haggler . give respect and recognized you fought to a best Latino fighter ever. Duran always the best....Duran to me he won the fight...
Fue potente combate ,pero creo que Marvin respeto demasiado a Duran si hubiese presionado como lo hizo con Hearns lo habría noqueado temprano y creo que paso lo mismo con Leonard .Marvin los golpeo muy suave no dio los mazasos que le dio a Hearns o a Mugabi.

I love duran but im a hagler fan too,hagler won this fight,duran was known for eating and then taking it off quickly. If hagler felt he was not strong this could be why. only Duran knows.
I'm a Duran fan also, but Hagler just sharper, faster, stronger and better conditioned in this fight. Not to mention Hagler's skill in switching form Orthodox to Southpaw. It was simply a prime Hagler.
Marvin never gave proper credit or kudos. "His power was nothing" One he's a little guy, two luckily i believe he broke his right hand. Duran and Leonard are both above Marvin and he's very bitter about it. I like him but he doen't talk with respect after fights like most. He always seems to be looking for more acknowledgement and whining.

Rubbish, MMH is a serious fighter and a serious fighter will talk himself up and exude confidence as opposed to “giving credit to the opponents”. Save the “giving credit” nonsense for soccer and tennis! MMH was an absolute solid chin, solid head, solid body fighter who never even looked hurt in the ring, let alone being KO’d. He was the best of the lot but just got pipped at the tail end of his career by SRL. Duran never stood a chance against MMH - If Duran and MMH fought five times, MMH would probably beat him every time. We should thank MMH for providing us with so much excitement.
Mr. Hagler: Duran was not in his best shape or in his ideal weight class. You are fighting in your country and still could not knock out Duran. How many of you USA fighters would have lost fighting in the opponent patio. You had all the advantages: 1. you ideal weight 2. you were on your prime , Duran did not 3. Fighting in your country.. and you could not knocked out Roberto Duran? If Duran has come in the same level of shape of Duran-Leonard 1 , he would have won that fight (not mentioning that if it were place in Panama City). So, no excuse, Duran in disanvantage and provided the public with a good fight. Come on, more respect to a boxer that is Pound X Pound better than you...
Haglar clearly won the fight - I know you probably love Duran and so do I but this fight was not even close. The scorecard was not fair to Haglar because he hardly lost a single round - Haglar clearly won 12 out of 15 rounds. Haglar was right, he never got his just dues - He was one of the greatest ever!
@@incognitobrown7782 Agree, he won at least by four rounds that fight... one of the greatest Middle weights ( he would knock out Triple G without a doubt). I believe that the world saw the best Middle weight ever (Hagler), the best welter weight ever (Sugar Ray Leonard) and the best light weight ever ( R. Duran). What an era in boxing that will never come back..
Love both of these guys. But most impressed with Duran who came up from lightweight to middleweight and gave one of the top 3 middleweights of all time all he wanted and then some. If you listen to Hagler, he is trying to convince himself he dominated which he did not.
Looked like he won clearly and wasn't really troubled by Duran tbh.
Great video!!!! Thanks for the knowledge n memories!!
A lot of respect for 135 pound guy
Duran fractured his hand in the 5th round fought the rest of the way with one healthy left hand, Marvin was too much into his own cloud to notice 🤣
Like Duran said it’s good enough to count money
MMV was a true champion - It is obvious that MMV just could not be KO’d ever. He was much too tough not only for Duran but also for the likes of Hearns, Mugabi etc. True tough guy, the Marvellous one.
Nice excuse.
It’s a miracle that Duran “ a natural lightweight” could even compete . Makes Hagler look bad as a great middleweight 😳
Duran wasn’t just any old lightweight, he is the greatest lightweight of all time and regarded by many as top 5 p4p of all time
@@jbd5870 Also people exaggerate that he was only good as a lightweight.
Just because a fighter starts at a certain weight it dosent mean that has to be hes best weight.
Fighters mature body wise.
Duran lost at lightweight and he had by far hes best win at welterweight.
Ive seen alot of Durans older fights and he never looked better then waht he did at 29 years old at welter
Duran became middlweight champion 6 years after this and 14 years after this he beat Jorge Castro that was world class.
Castro was a former world champ that later fought for the world cruiserweight title
Duran had the skills and smarts to compete with anyone
You could easily tell that Durans punches would stop Haglers aggression. I said stop not hurt. Hagler won this fight. And had an iron chin.
Marvin never left the middle weight division Michael Spinks offered him a big payday for the light heavyweight Marvin turn it down I wonder why
MMV was a serious, no nonsense fighter. He was not interested in moving up or down etc. He wanted to be at his best EVERY time rather than chase glory by compromising. MMV is a true legend. RIP MMV
Lmao damn he whooped Duran fr then Duran came and knocked out Barkley who knocked tommy out! Shows marvelous one was on another level
duran didnt ko barkley he won sd 12pts but he did knock him down
@@markholey you right

once again duran not given credit for his superb skills
Duran was the fighter of the 1970s; that's not even in dispute. He had his disciplined years at 135; everything else was just a bonus.
And Hagler was a pansy who ducked catchweight meetings with Spinks et al.
Very true. And he wanted no part of Braxton, Saad Muhummad, or Holyfield. Plus they wouldn't let him hike his shorts up past his chin
sounds about right!
The scoring of this fight was close but not this close.
Yeah, it was that close, look at the judges scorecards

hagler was told to carry duran yall look at his fights with mugabi and hearns he is trying for the killer knock out wake up and look closer
This is Roberto Duran we're talking about.
He definitely wasn't as Aggressive as he usually is...
No way Mr Destruct and Destroy is going to carry anybody, let alone the Hands of Stone
@@joshuajarod1909lol i know right?
I liked Hagler but he always pulled his own chain bragging on himself ALWAYS is bullshit, Glad Leonard got a lucky decision over him now

Round by round Duran won this fight very clear, bad decision of the judges
