Marvelous Marvin Hagler - R.I.P. CHAMP - Спорт
Marvellous Marvin Hagler, arguably the most complete fighter in the history of the sport. A truly great boxer.
Facts!!!
Marvin Hagler is boxing he was boxing he bereaved and thought to the day he died. Love you champ you will be gladly missed mate. Best middleweight of all time doesn’t just stop there including number I pound for pound of all time not just pound for pound you were the best ever. You sit deep in my suthing suthing soul will never forget you marvellous marving haggler because you were truly marvellous at everything not just a boxer. A true man best man and boxer fought to the day you die I respect you for that. I won’t you too be alive and live well in to you’re 80s and 90s fucked Up man.
Marvin Hagler a switch hitting boxing, very sad day,beyond legendary boxer
The switching of the stans was nothing short of amazing
He had it all. Power. Speed. Guts. You couldn't knock him down. A fight with Hagler was going to be a war. What a boxer!
My parents met Marvelous in a cafe in Milan back in the 90s. My dad, who is a huge boxing fan, and always loved Hagler, approached him and asked very politely for an autograph, and Marvelous was very happy to oblige him.
My dad - who is British - took that opportunity to apologise for the fans at the Hagler v Minter fight. Hagler laughed his head off, patted my dad on the back and thanked him for the apology, but told him that it was cool because he'd visited the UK a few times since then and had always been made to feel very welcome. He then posed for a picture with my dad, and left.
My dad framed that picture and it's still up on the wall in their living room.
R.I.P. MMH. You were a class act and a true warrior.
P.S. Brilliant video. Thank you.
The reaction of the crowd after the Minter fight was a disgrace and an embarrassment to British boxing. I'm British and every boxing fan I know loves Hagler.
What a great story.
Beautiful story. Rest in Peace champ
Very cool story and I can see that happening, the man MMH was.
I love hagler since I was 10 years old I even hav two pet BIRDS name HAGLER
Man I'm one of the biggest Tommy Hearns fans out there and I have so much respect for Hagler. The man was an absolute Terminator, you couldn't stop him. He ruled the Middleweight division during it's greatest era. Very sad an icon of my childhood is gone. Rest in peace Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
Hello pal. I have a question. Do you think Hearns had dodgy legs from a too intense massage? His legs never looked solid but he was getting smashed around by Hagler but just wanted your thoughts?
@@marccas10 Get real.
Who thinks it would be cool to see a movie made about him ...?
Who could play him and do the role justice?
A great idea though and I'd pay to watch it regardless.
Yeah, I would.
Just DON'T forget the scene of Marvin vowing to his grandfather concerning making the world know the name, HAGLER.
About that whole middle weight era..It was probably the best era of boxing i've ever seen and Marvin was central to that
A 10 x 1hour episode mini series on nexflix.....there is too much great events in his life to be crammed into a 2-3 hour movie.
Yes!!!
I cried at the news. Marvin Hagler. A real man. A real fighter. RIP Champ
Marvin trained hard every fight. Even when he was a rich man. Never took shortcuts. Rest in peace champ.
Ultimate professional
The best thing we can say about Marvelous Marvin Hagler is that he kept the oath he made to his grandpa: that everyone will know the Hagler name. And he did.
Lautaro:
WOW! Thanks for sharing THAT.
Long LIVE the legacy of this
CLEAN, DEDICATED, TALENTED WARRIOR; Marvelous Marvin
H A G L E R
PS: Greenwood Tulsa Oklahoma
Would have been very proud of this accomplished soldier.
That's pretty badass
👍👑🙏
Is a German name.
He mentioned how he kept the promise on the night of his induction to the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame.
I was born and raised in Brockton, so Hagler was a legend in my household. He was as iconic as Luke Skywalker and Indiana Jones. I still have my T-shirt from when I was 8. The news of his death was a gut punch. I had trouble falling asleep. He will forever be remembered as a symbol of my childhood excitement and envy.
If you build a fighter from the ground up it would be Hagler. One of the most complete fighters ever. RIP to the Marvelous one.
So true
Yes most definitely , spot on 😎
@@markisaac3550 f
Fr he was one heck of a switch hitter he’s what one of my boxing trainer wanted to be like everything we did right handed we learned left
Met him several time over the years while he was the champ. Saw him fight "Sugar" Ray Seales in the Boston Garden in 1979. Hagler was always gracious to his fans...he was a nice man...and a great champion. R.I.P. Marvin...and thanks for everything!!!
I met Marvin just before he fought for the championship against Vito.I trained with his brother Robbie Sims a couple times sparred with him, usually sparred with welterweights Doug Sherrin ,Danny Avery,James Lucas, Barry Hurst.Marvin was a class act he would come up to me and give me advice while hitting the bag ,I also am a left handed boxer.Marvin once refed an exhibition bout I had with one of the fighters from Petronellis, gym Steve Hillyard after he won the title from Minter.
@@hippocripocity great story mt u should be proud of it
Shocked by his death. Really thought that he was going to be around a lot longer. RIP Champ, you owned your weight class for all time. Everyone else falls short.
He was my favorite because he didn't refuse anyone to a fight, in my mind he's undefeated 🥊
GREATEST POUND FOR POUNDS BOXER OF ALL TIME.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
R.I.P CHAMP
Most professional analyst have Sugar Ray Robinson as the P4P greatest of all-time. Marvin was def 'Marvelous', but not in the discussion as the goat....just being honest and realistic here man.
Agreed..no weaknesses
@@kardiackids1435 that's you're opinion!!! But in many people's eyes including mine he's the GOAT of the middleweight division!!! I'll say this,how many other boxers can say they have never been knocked down or knocked out!!! 🤔🤔🤔
@@kardiackids1435 .. Sugar taught the world how to throw aggressive hands in combination. Way ahead of his time. It all depends on how you rate greatness.
But if you actually think sugar could go 12 with Marvin.. Is really not even close. No one ever hurt this dude. Hearns did for 3 seconds.
@@kardiackids1435 he’s definitely in the discussion. “Most boxing analysts” isn’t “all boxing analysts”.
Marvin was the dependable, the grinder, the dedicated, the disciplined, the immovable....a stone. He was living proof that in this cynical world, hard work does pay off dammit!! if you're willing to put in the time. May he forever enjoy his silk sheets. Rest in peace.
Beautifully said.
Nobody said it better Rummy........RIP Marvelous Hagler.
That comment deserved its 100th like.
Yes beautiful eulogy Rummy.
Its sweet knowing that you got to share one of the most incredible fights of all time with your father. You must have some amazing memories from it.
I am 55 and went into a room and cried when I found out. His death makes me feel more mortal. As a boxing fan of 55, he was at the forefront of boxing for a long time when I was in my teens. He was my hero. His reign was a great thing for the sport. He was the last of the GREAT champions. Champions have come and gone, but Marvelous Marvin Hagler was a GREAT champion.
I feel your pain brother. I wept in a car park when I heard Muhammad had gone 😢
When our heroes pass, a piece of us goes with them. It's so hard to find new ones these days, but when we do, they give us new life
I wish everyone had the same attitude towards Jesus Christ. Once you find Him, you can stop looking forevermore.
Well said.
We will never replace marvin
Greatest middleweight of all time RIP Marvin Hagler
Sugar Ray Robinson.
Good fighter. Greatest?? NO way. His biggest wins were against a blown. up lightweight (Duran) and one welterweight (Hearns) and a lost to a welterweight (Leonard). Please put down the purple drank~!!!!
You said it!! All heart, total package R.I.P
@@johnjuarez8005 Hearns ended as cruiserweight champ, Duran super middleweight champ and Leonard is one of the greatest *(and he really lost against Hagler) he also beat Autofermo, Roldan, Mugabi etc.
@@johnjuarez8005 your posting bullshit.MMH was goat middleweight.
A man whose back never saw the canvas. The epitome of the true south paw
warrior.🔥🔥🔥.Owe when you get to heaven at the gates I hope you'll sing, "one more champ reporting for I've served my time in the ring"😇RIP.
We will never see a middle weight with the impact that Marvin had RIP champ🕊
Best Middle Weight of all time. The Leonard fight should have been a draw rhe very least....shitty judges
A true legend ....one of the greatest of all time .
Whenever people talk about boxing , wherever they are in the world , if they know there stuff , and they are of a certain age .....Marvin hagler will always be mentioned ...
@@Chasstful Amazing how he started his championship career getting cheated then ending his career too.
You are a fantastic fan/observant of the sport, Geoffrey. So much of what you said in this video reminded me of my childhood memories with my Dad (now passed) staying up into the early hours in England watching those US fights. Thank you, I feel the Marvelous one would approve and appreciate this.
One of the truly great men of boxing, humble with a heart and mind of stone, the Marvelous one
RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
I envy you Steven for having said that and not me.
Marvin has only passed on. His spirit now onto the next level. God blessed him and us. Less of the depressive tones and be thankful..,
Hagler ducked absolutely NO ONE! Truly a platonic boxing champion.
Mike mccallum says otherwise
Well said
@@Jaiden.jones91 lol I've read that but I really don't remember mcallum being touted as an opponent he was really just coming through.
@@Jaiden.jones91 McCallum was a great boxer but, by 1987, his line of opponents was far from Hagler's opponents. Once he did step-up in class Hagler was retired. Plus Hagler fought once in 1987 (Sugar Ray), once in 1986 (Mugabi), once in 1985 (Hearns).
I don't think this fight could have been made, the timing was wrong.
@@Jaiden.jones91 I seriously doubt that, lol. The McCallum that got his ass kicked by Kalamby? His resume is lacking by comparison. I like Mike alot but he doesn't compare.
Thank you Marvelous, I fondly remember watching your fights with my father, great times, God bless and please, R.I.P
He and Salvador Sanchez were my childhood heroes. This hits hard
I hear you.
Marvelous Marvin was a great champion.
It's sad that many people don't know who he was and the impact he had, not only in boxing, but in the sports world in general.
And it's also sad that Salvador Sanchez has been forgotten over the years as well.
Sanchez was a tremendous champion and one of the greatest pound for pound fighters of all time.
Salvador Sanchez was a beast in his short boxing career!
Same here!
HEART-BREAKING!!!!! I am 51 had trained fighters & boxed over 40 years. I watched Marvelous Marvin Hagler boxing career & just how this Brother Overcame the Odds every time he stepped in that ring, he was all business. SEARCH-&-DESTROY was his motto when he fought his opponent's. Master Technician Master Tachtician. Fought the south paw style but also was diversitile. Master boxer of the true sweet-science of superior boxing. Always in shape and never trash talked his opponent's... But Only let his Punches do the talking for him when that Bell ranged. I am crushed & devestated to see him leave us do soon. REST-IN-POWER-CHAMP
Because 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Champion's like you don't die... But Live Forever in Our Hearts.......................
Hagler faced everyone that Ray ducked.
1. He civilized The Caveman
2. He made the Scipion drink from a sippy cup.
3. He hammered the Martillo into submission.
4. He took out the The Hitman.
5. He put the mustard to Mustafa.
6. He tamed The Beast into a house cat.
7. He dishes a plate of justice to Brit who said, "no Blackman is gonna take my title".
In his own house. They rioted .
8. He served a great plate of spaghetti to Vito.
9. He made a sissy marathon runner of an Olympian. Ray deserved a draw.
He basically destroyed everyone in his path and that to me makes him the greatest middle weight ever. Long Live the King Marvelous Marvin Hagler and may God keep him in his kingdom. God speed my brother. RIP.🥊🇲🇽🥊🇺🇲
Leonard didn't duck anyone!
Great, try telling that to Mike McCullum.
Beautifully put together mate!
The man was a beast, ALWAYS in tremendous shape. Loved watching the Marvelous One fight.
Mark l love Marvin Harper but in defence of minter he never said no black man he actually said that black man..
Beautiful tribute. When we watch a great sportsperson with our dad it has that extra meaning behind it when they pass away, it evokes all those memories.
Granite chin, never knocked down, tough as nails, fearless, iron will, southpaw power hitter, honest, hard-working, never talked bullshit, and was ripped-off with the absurd Leonard split-decision (anyone can run to a championship, but "can you fight!"). Marvin was a true fighter. RIP champ, you were, are and always will be, the Marvelous One.
Absurd Leonard decision.. Come on man.. Very close fight.. Leonard won.. Fair decision.. To say absurd is fury wilder 1.
@@GeorgeFreeman55 Never in a million years. Marvelous WON it.
@@GeorgeFreeman55 fixed fight that leonard still lost.....thats how bloated and padded that phoney truly is
@@GeorgeFreeman55 No, you don't get points running. But then if he didn't run it would have been worse than the first Duran fight.
118-110 was absurd. And yes he did get ripped off. Hagler said it best, you're not supposed to take the title away from the champion by running
No long words nor long script. You were a gentleman and you did the sport of boxing proud. Thank You...
Growing up in Boston he was my favorite of all time ... rip champ
There were many, Salvador Sanchez was going to be an all-time great and died in a car wreck. GGG had a string of championship fights will make him a legend.
This was poetic man... also what a blessing to have seen hagler hearns live. RIP to the legend
May God bless Marvelous Marvin and your wonderful Dad.🙏
RIP CHAMP!
Any time I was looking for something to watch if I saw any one of his fights on it was an instant stop and watch moment.
He epitomised the term "Fighter". Hagler was a true warrior, a gladiator who will be remembered as a true great.
Muhammed Ali might have been the greatest but only one man was truly Marvellous.... rest in peace champ.
It's a shame that his name was not talked about as much as it should..top 3 middleweight IMO...RIP champ
I know right.
I was disappointed that there was very little media coverage of Marvelous Marvin Hagler's passing.
He was a great champion and a decent human being.
For me, he's right behind Sugar Ray Robinson as the greatest middleweight of all time.
Not only did the marvelous Marvin Hagler leave us with great memories he left us with you what a combo,thanks for all you hard work.RIP Mr Hagler.
My favorite boxer of all time. For me, he won that fight against Leonard.
Hagler, Hearns 2, we have a club
Agreed. Watch it 3x. Had the Marvelous One winning 7-5.
Yes he did won fight
That loss to Leonard still irritates the hell out of me
I just watched that fight and it clearly looked like Leonard won. Hagler gave away the first 4 or 5 rounds and Leonard was the busier fighter. Hagler did land the harder punches when he could land but Leonard’s speed was a big factor. He made Hagler miss a lot especially in the earlier rounds. I thought the judges were pretty accurate although one judge scored 118-110 which I thought was a little much. 115-113 was about right in favor of Leonard.
Right there with you. My all time favorite far and away. My first time seeing him was against Tony Sibson. I was 12 years old. He was my childhood hero as well. Truly a loss for us all.
Rummy you are the finest maker of boxing films on UA-cam. Respect from Bristol, England
To the "GREATEST"... Marvelous Marvin Hagler
"REST-IN-POWER" MY "BROTHER-WARRIOR"!!!!!!!
R.i.P champ the best middle weight
I got started in boxing at 19, didn't know what to expect, I watched Hagler/Hearns right there I fell in love with boxing, and I needed someone with the right discipline to look up to, my trainer told me about Marvelous and the rest is history in my life with boxing. Because of Hagler, I found a sense of peace going into the 🔥 #RIPMarvelous
Mr Hagler was a “blue collar “ fighter. His preparation for a fight was spartan like and he took on all opponents. Absolutely my favorite boxer. Comfort to his family.
I've been a boxing fan since the age of eight, 51 years ago. I went to Leicester Square in London with a friend to watch Hagler vs Leonard live via satellite. What a night! I have the t-shirt framed. Lost my voice for two days and cried my heart out when the judges took away Marvin's belt. When his death was announced I cried again. He was my hero. The ultimate fighter. All my respect Marvin Hagler.
Hagler was my favorite. His death hit hard for me
Me too brother!!! Me too!!!!😔😔😔
Me too bro GOAT
Hit me hard also
Yes it has me 2 bud I'm in Durham England been a terrible week 😪
I was very sad, remember the sugar ray leonard fight, broke 💔of marvin Hagler, retired
Rummy how right you are...you are not alone,i hope he knew how many of us idolized him...loved him.
I was born in 1973 and Marvin was my first 'sports hero' ...he was a fearless stalker,i loved knowing no matter what, the man standing across from him was terrified...
Thanks for this epic tribute,he will always be missed
No image of a boxer outside the ring will ever be more striking and genuinely badass than Hagler with the WAR hat. RIP legend 💔
Thank you for this tribute. I was not even born when Marvelous Marvin Hagler was still fighting, but I discovered his fights watching his war with Thomas Hearns, since then I have seen some of his fights and interviews, I really enjoy the man and the boxer, he is an inspiration to me.
Rest in Piece Marvelous Marvin Hagler, your legacy will stay in our heart forever.
Marvelous Marvin Hagler made a huge impact upon the sport of boxing and any true boxing fans will know how much of a loss his passing has been. ABSOLUTE LEGEND !!!
Greatest Middleweight of all time in my book. In his career he was on the wrong end of some shocking decisions yet he always moved forward, he was always in shape always came to fight and never stopped going forward ! He truly is an icon and legend. RIP Champ.
I respect that Hagler never came out of retirement and sullied his legacy. He had too much integrity to come back past his prime to chase big paydays or belts. R.I.P 😪
He asked for a rematch, the guy said no, he said okay no problem and that was that.
Does the name Bernard Hopkins ring a bell?? 👍🏿
Thanks Rummy for the commentation to commemorate the passing away of greatest pound for pound boxer of his time....Marvin Haggler....may he keeps resting well...
My pops who was also a major boxing fan and former kickboxer also passed away unexpectedly last January. We also have many great memories (starting in the 80s) of watching big fights together and attending big fights in the Los Angeles area. RIP to all of our love ones who have passed away since this pandemic broke out.
RIP to your old man.
Im sorry for your dad, RIP.
I'm from England and first saw Marvin win the title from Alan Minter in spectacular style..and followed him ever since I was a boy too a man..I'm looking at his poster now I have on my wall which I sent away for when I was 17..I'm 51 now..I will never forget you Marvelous Marvin..you were the best R.I.P. champ!
Wonderful tribute, Rummy. You did the Champ proud.
Thank you for the Beautiful Tribute. Marvin was also my Hero. My Hometown Hero as he lived just up the Road. I met him at the Mall for an Autograph signing when I was12 and still have it displayed. A Real Life Super Hero. Thank You Again for the video.
And thank you for a never to be forgotten eulogy for a middleweight for the ages.
Howard - fully seconded ! Peace and Rest Marvin
I loved watching his fights. He was a great champion. RIP champ. We will never forget Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
I feel the same as Rummy, Hagler's passing has it me harder than the passing of any other fighter. Simply because Marvin Hagler was a fixture in boxing during my childhood during the 80's. Tommy Hearns, SRL, Duran, Holmes, Chavez, Tyson, Jones and a few others all hold a special place in my heart. It really saddens me, to the core with Marvin's passing and I have shared his fight with Hearns on FB and tried to get people to watch what an outstanding fighter Hagler was and what he means to the sport. Hagler never took the easy route and he would fight anyone and it's a testament of his commitment to the sport that he fought his entire career at 160lbs and was always in great shape. He had a chiseled body and was probably one of the physically strongest middleweights that ever lived. For 14 years he fought at the same weight and never had a issue making weight, that was during the time fighters had to weigh in on the day of fight. Hagler had to make concession in the fight with SRL, catchweight of 158, 12oz gloves, 12 round fight and a 20 by 20 ring and I still thought Hagler pulled out the win. RIP champ.
Amen, I doubt that I could have said it any better.
Marvelous Marvin Hagler was the reason I became interested in boxing also, I was so amazed how he could transition between orthodox and southpaw in the middle of a combination so effortlessly, and his gazelle punch was so quick with so much power. Later in life I learned about his training regiment, how he trained in an old hotel and to this day I yell “WAR, WAR!!” Just as he did while running or jogging. RIP TO THE MARVELOUS ONE! Thank you for the memories and thank you Rummy for all the great boxing documentaries!
Thanks Rummy. Beautiful tribute to Mr. Marvelous himself.
Your dad and my dad have much in common. My dad introduced me to Marvelous Marvin Hagler and boxing. Kids from this generation have no idea how great boxing was in the 80s and 90s.
Can't imagine what's its like being a fan when the first fight you saw was Marvellous Marvin Hagler Vs Hearns every fight must have been anti climax after, What a true fighter he's the toughest to lace a pair of gloves RIP Champ🥊🥊🥊🥊
Hagler and Antefirmo fights were wars. He walked right through Hearns.
I watched the split decision against Leonard. I remember my dad throwing his beer. I was 7 years old and Dad told me to sit down and watch one the all time greats. RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler
Excellent tribute to a legendary boxer. R.I.P. Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
Heart, determination & grit. He was the best incapsulation of all those traits. RIP Champ.
Thank you Rummy for an awesome tribute to a truly inspirational champion and man. RIP Marvelous! 😢🥊
RIP Hagler. And Rummy kinda sounds like Ray Liotta from Goodfellas.
What a beautiful video, R.I.P. Marvelous Marvin Hagler
This is very nice of you, Rummy! Marvelous Marvin would appreciate. MMH the best MW ever! He was a pure middleweight. Never moved to a different division. His record, without those controversial decisions (robberies?) would be immaculate! What a warrior! Never knocked down, never knocked out, always on top shape, a complete athlete. RIP Marvelous 🙏!
A fantastic warrior who never ducked anyone.. First saw him when he destroyed Alan Minter to become world middleweight champion.. I watch it live and i was disgusted how my countrymen/ thugs/ morons behaved that night throwing bottles of beer and fighting everywhere.. most of all not allowing him to receive his very hard earned belt inside the ring.. I dont think that it has ever had happened before or since!! Anyway this led me to follow the marvelous one, and I truly was a fan.. I do believe he has been one of the greatest middleweights of all time. Not only a great fighter, but a great man..
RIP Mr Marvelous Marvin Hagler.. And thank you for all the great memories !!
Alan Minter hasn't long passed away himself, weirdly enough.....
Well said Rummy. I've always liked your videos, may not always agreed, but always liked them. This said so much for me and mirrored my love of Marvin's boxing. Thank brother, well said.
Wonderful story and wonderful tribute, RIP Legend
Being born in Argentina and having the greatest Middle weight champion of all time from my country Carlos Monzon, my ever best favorite fighter was and will be Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
Thanks for the upload
R.I.P. M. M. Hagler
I was a Rocky IV kid myself. 😂 R.I.P Marvin Hagler.
So lucky to have "The War" as your first boxing fight you ever watched. For me it was watching Sugar Ray Leonard fight Roberto Duran for the second time. Not a terrible fight, but it didn't hold a candle to The War. Hagler was a gift to the sport, one of the greatest competitors I've ever seen, and his early demise is truly a tragedy. RIP.
My introduction to Marvelous Marvin Hagler was his fight against Alan Minter when he finaly got his world championship. I am saddened by his passing he was a warrior in the ring and a gentlenan out of the ring. A lot of kids today could learn a lot from how Marvin behaved as a man.
R.I.P "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler pound for pound one of the greatest men to have lived.
Men with impeccable personalities will never see the light of day. It is the bad boy that is loved.
For what its worth. Hagler is a true gentleman, worth his weight in gold.
I remember also watching this fight with my father when I was a young kid.I'm 44 years old. my father also past in 2018 from prostate cance at 81 years old.This fight reminds me of Dad . R.I.P to both of our Great fathers
The Contender is the reason why I started Boxing. I was picked on and it made me stronger I'm Autistic.
What does that have to do with Hagler and his passing?
Rest in peace bro . May Allah bless you in the afterlife you were indeed the marvelous one not to take nothing form sugar ray but your fans know the fight between you and him should have been a draw.
@@tintomara6209 I guess it has to do with how Rummy became a boxing fan.
Good for you my friend to stay strong it's a shame that people get bullied these days especially people who are autistic lots of people like to pick on someone who's autistic or on the spectrum or have Asperger's these days it seems like an open free range for some reason when it's something that they usually can't help so I feel for you I have a couple of good friends who have the same issue and it's always a difficult task but they deal with it and I'm on your side here I don't like bullies and I feel like America should not support bullying as much as they do but it's a little underground thing where they secretly defend the bully and allow it to happen it happened to me when I was a kid and even in high school so when I stood up for myself and realized that if you stand up they back down you feel a lot stronger so I feel for you my friend I have your back
Wow, what I and many consider the fight of the century. You could not have picked a better fight to introduce you to boxing. what a tribute to the greatest fighter in my book. a true warrior and a man of Honor and integrity. R.I.P Marvelous one!.
Your favorite boxer's favorite boxer. RIP Champ.
Rummy, my journey with Hagler started a couple of years earlier. He was my first sporting hero as well, thank you for putting voice to my strange sense of loss that has been sitting heavy all week.
I’m also deeply saddened by this news. He also was my favourite boxer.
Thanks for all the great memories Marvin. R.I.P. Boss.
The Marvelous one was one of the greatest fighters who ever lived. That's how I will remember him and that's how the world should remember him. A true king of the ring 🙏 may he rest in peace
My late stepmom worked with Mr. Hagler at a Bomb factory in Massachusetts, when he was just starting in boxing. She said he was just a lovely person. Despite being tired from working 8 hours a day and working out another 6 hours, she said he always had a smile and a kind word. RIP, Champ.
This was such a touching story. Thanks so much for sharing. RIP to the Marvelous One
Well done Rummy.A wonderful tribute to a fantastic fighter.RIP Marvelous Marvin.
Very sad day for the world. May he take his place along side the gods of war. RIP Marvelous one.
Like you , he was also my childhood boxing hero - a great tribute to a truly great boxer - RIP Marvellous Marvin Hagler
Beautiful man and fighter. Hagler was cheated by the Boxing establishment in delaying the arrival of his greatness , rewarding his rival Leonard with a dubious decision but Hagler was rewarded by the Boxing Gods with superhuman power, resilience and skill in the ring and he had such humbleness and humility outside the ring he was so respected. The Leonard decision may be in doubt but his legacy will never be in doubt. My hero, my inspiration in so many ways .RIP the greatest boxer ever not just GOAT of middleweight. I will miss you.
A middleweight went life and death with a welterweight. Glad he lost.
He is legend
I was a big Leonard fan but as brilliant as Ray was in his fight against Haglar he simply didn't do enough to take his title and the real boxing fans knew it. Unfortunately money talks too often.
Idiot did you even watch the fight sugar ray kicked his assssss
@@timpowers6876 You are the idiot, kicked his ass? You obviously don't have the slightest inkling of how to score a fight. At best it was Hagler by a point, at worst a draw. Also quit trolling the comments this is for Hagler fans to express their love and sadness at the passing of a legend. If you are a SRL fan boy, good for you, but spew your opinions elsewhere it's not welcome here.
What a brilliant tribute Rummy. Very befitting. The similarities in our youth of being heavily affected by Rocky 3, having a Dad who was a boxing nut but also felt MMH was THEE man and being genuinely scared by the intensity of Tommy Hearns stare-downs. I miss Hagler too. More than any boxer.
Man you can really tell a story..you not only show me the picture of the great boxer but also your childhood with your old man ..! Great job bro!!
Beautiful tribute for the greatest middleweight champion of the world of the 80 s.
I live the same moment as you ,
I became fan of boxing champ because of Rocky.
At this time , I was big fan of Marvelous Marvin Hagler and Tommy Hearns .
Greatest middleweight of all time, Rest in Peace Champ. 🙏🙏🙏
you said some really nice words Rummy. When I was a kid, Marvelous was also one of my favorite champ, a warrior. He had a special relationship with Italy (I'm Italian) and my dream was to meet him accidentaly as has happened to so many people, sometimes in some small town in northern Italy. Rip Champ.
