RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler

[Primo Carnera]

I can't recall a big push for Hagler to face Spinks at that time.

i find that strange as i remember back in two thousand one when a roy jones v felix trinidad fight was being seriously discussed. both were pound for pound, roy was at light heavy & felix was a unified jr middleweight champion preparing to go into the middleweight tournament. the plan was for tito to have his two fights & become undisputed at middle & then move up to fight roy

I’m not sure how this correlates with Hagler. Different worlds.
Hagler was not a big MW.
they weighed in the same day back then.
Hagler probably walked the streets at less than 170lbs , so why would he bother fighting at 175?
There isn’t the silly money there is now, but you can safely say Hagler would earn WAY more fighting SRL than he would fighting Michael Spinks.
Spinks as we now know was on his way up the weights.
Like @Master said, I can never remember the Hagler / Spinks fight ever being talked about.
