Thread: RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler

legend

Long before today he took his place among the very best, but it is sad still to see such a tough man revealed as a mere mortal like the rest of us.

RIP Champ.

This one is actually shocking . Absolute blindside. Fuckin A. God speed legend.

God bless his family.
I remember riding on my friend's motorcycle, with a case of Henry Weinhard beer, to the Los Olivos project to watch him fight Duran.
I remember getting off work at 7 and hauling ass 3 blocks to a friend's house and getting there just in time for the insane start to his fight with Tommy Hearns.
I bought every video out there of his fights and, years after he had lost interest in boxing, Marvin Hagler got my father watching the fights again.
Everyone dies and you are sucker if you don't understand that from the start. If Marvelous Marvin Hagler has decided to leave us, I hope that he exited this world as cleanly as he walked away from boxing.
Personally, I will never forget the first round with Hearns, or the right uppercut he took from Mugabi that only made him mad, or the body shots that discouraged Doug Demmings.

Very sad to hear about this, he really was the "Marvelous" one. A great champion who never balked at any competition.

I echo your sentiments exactly. Totally unexpected. Had no idea he was suffering from health issues. We'll probably learn more in the coming days. A true shock and horribly, horribly sad. In today's world, he wasn't an old man.

Rest in Peace, champ.

Fucking hell, what a shock.

As a fighter, he had everything. Granite chin, fitter than everyone and always turned up in shape, great great technical skills, big puncher, demonic willpower. The most complete fighter I ever saw. Beautiful chip on his shoulder spurred him to true greatness.

A true genuine, deserved bona fide legend

This is terrible news, Marvin "Destruct & Destroy" has left us, may he find peace and eternal rest, one of the scariest fighters you can imagine looking across the ring at waiting for the bell for Round 1. Such an athlete in such impeccable shape all his career, to go so young, is shocking.

The first pro fight I ever attended was in 1984 at MSG to see Hagler vs Hamsho 2, who he KO'ed in the 3rd round.

One of the greatest Middle weight Champions of all time RIP Marvin Hagler.
A true great old school done it the hard way sadly missed .

Shocker ,
R.I.P Marvellous one.

It's ironic we were talking about Hagler last night on zoom Steve what a great fighter he was you myself and Joe.☹️

I really hated Marvin for years for beating Tommy Hearns, but of course I then accepted how great he really was.
Tommy wrote a fitting tribute to his former bitter rival and now friend.

Marvellous



So a perfectly healthy Marvin Hagler who had the "vaccine" has sadly passed away. 2 weeks after having the perfectly safe, fully tested for humans vaccine that's still under trial until 2023.

Right OK.

A man who at the, far from old age of 66 can run a 6 minute mile and is in better shape than guys half age just gets taken out like this.

Right. OK

It takes 10 years of trials and test to get a vaccine half way right, and they pushing that poison after 2 months of development under Trump.

I wouldn’t be shocked if they try to say it was long term trauma from blows to the head. Say no to the #covidvaccine

Another one bites the dust eh Bill ?
