Marvelous Marvin Hagler Dies Boxing

[Sad Professor]

So sad, one of the true greats of the sport.

Former undisputed middleweight world champion 'Marvelous' Marvin Hagler has died at the age of 66.

The American dominated the middleweight division from 1979 until his controversial defeat by Sugar Ray Leonard in April 1987.

"Today, unfortunately my beloved husband Marvelous Marvin passed away unexpectedly at his home here in New Hampshire," his wife Kay Hagler said.

Hagler fought 67 times during his 14-year professional career, winning 62.

He triumphed on 52 occasions by knockout, while he drew two and lost three times.

Far too young at 66. Truely one of the greatest ever from a very special time in the middleweight division.

 

[Tom]

My favourite fighter of all time, fearsome, always in great shape, granite chin, could scrap and box. His was like a rock that other fighters just broke themselves off.

 

[Steve]

One of the greatest when boxing was blessed with many greats

RIP

 

[Dylan]

A legitimate all-time great and arguably the greatest fighter the middleweight division has ever seen. RIP Marvelous One
