Why give up the title he worked so hard for to give it away. Hagler would not have received any favours from the alphabet boys if he relinquished the middleweight title.
oh you were being sarcastic?

so you do give marvin a pass but just for his last fight?

marvin was a career middleweight sounds like an excuse. i said marvin could have really moved up as early as completing the vito antuofermo rematch. so after that rematch i would say his body of work is less than stellar. "His body of work" you are using a false equivalence, tell me one opponent marvin fought from july eighty one onwards that would have been a bigger challenge than michael spinks

why not give up the title & look for bigger challenges? why would marvin need favours if he was moving up to fight michael spinks?
