"I don't see any skill in (UFC) or art ... anybody can do that kind of fighting off the street," Hagler said. "Boxing will never die. It will come back some day, some year. We'll find another superstar."

The one thing that does bother Hagler about the current state of boxing are the numerous sanctioning bodies in the sport.

"It cheats the public," Hagler said. "All the fans want to be familiar with the real champion. Some people don't even know any of them now. They still think Mike Tyson is the champion."
There certainly WAS no skill on his part when he fought Sugar Ray Leonard, he was well beaten *despite the fact that he cried like a girl, and claimed he was robbed*! And as for the Mike Tyson comment, all I can say is 'well Marvin, you still you beat Sugar Ray, now go away quickly chump*!
Hagler was a good champion. If anyone deserves to talk it would be Marvin. The man defended his title against Mugabi when Mugabi was undefeated 26-0 (26) . He beat Thomas Hearns in the best first round ever. Defended 11 times. He is top notch.
