Marvin athletic peak were probably before he became champion, when he fought the hard Philly fighters as a skilful Southpaw. Marvin was robbed by judges and became champion later than he should have so he took on the best that were around at the time.
Marvellous avoided Herol Graham to take on Sugar Ray. No one is blaming him for that.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
