Im Mexican and have so many all time great Mexican fighters i love like morales , chavez , barrerra , finito lopez , Salvador Sanchez but damn my favorite fighter is Marvelous Marvin Hagler!

Truly one of the most underrated Middle Weight Champions of all time. Never got knocked out, I think I saw him slightly hurt against Thomas Hearns, barely noticed. Left the Sport on his terms never came back to fight anyone. Still has his mental health and Never ducked anyone.

he was right: 'they're waiting for me to get gray hair' ['they' being Leonard...]

Marvin Hagler and Ray Robinson; the greatest Middle Weight Champions ever!

When talking about G.O.A.T. middleweights.....Sugar and Marvelous certainly are at the top of the heap....and after posting over 350 vintage title fights from The Golden Age of Boxing (1964 - 1995)....we certainly consider Marvelous as the only boxing legend of the middleweight division from that era.

kevindlinc I agree Monzon has to be considered among the best.

Probably my favourite fighter at any weight. No pretensions just a true great with no weaknesses in his prime.

"I am the middleweight King" so much truth....

This guy is the epitome of a true boxer, his skill and modesty stand as a great example that was seldom, if ever, followed. The hype and trash talking ruin it for me now. Mr. Hagler did his talking in the ring and he will always be the best to me and what a damned handsome man too ( no I’m not gay before anyone asks) and more than worthy of the name Marvellous. Thanks for it all Marvin.

We at www.imasportsphile.com responsible for posting this video along with some 400 more vintage boxing videos....consider Marvin Hagler to be one of the Legends of Boxing who came out of the Golden Age of Boxing from 1964 to 1995.....and we agree with your assessment of him. And by the way, from our standpoint as an accredited Sportsphile.....we are of the opinion that the only way a champ loses his title is by KO....TKO.....or serious disfiguration of the Champ's face....and Sugar Ray Leonard did none of those.....and by the way, Leonard is also a Legend of Boxing too.

Boxing hasn't been the same since....not just the middleweight division....for Hagler was a product of The Golden Age of Boxing....from 1964 - 1995.....and nothing in the sport has gotten better since then.....for in our opinion at ImaSportsphile web page, where we have posted over 350 vintage title fights from that era....cuz if Floyd Mayweather Jr. is considered the best since 1995....then that just goes to support your comment....for had he fought during the Golden Age....he would have been beaten by the likes of Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Benetiz, Arguello, Chavez and on and on.

Ridiculous to say his reputation was tarnished because of the fight with Duran. Yeah, Marvin maybe cld have put his stamp on him better but Duran was arguably the greatest lightweight ever! Sure he was fighting way above his best weight but he knew how to fight and Marvin beat him. So kudos to Duran and another victory for the Marvelous one.

After having posted some 300+ vintage world championship fight videos at www.imasportsphile.com/category/boxing/ over the past 3 years....this lil ole chaimeenie Sportsphile believes that no fighter takes the Champ's crown without convincingly winning the fight....by KO, TKO or serious beating....and Leonard did none of those. The same goes for Spinks verses Holmes....Spinks did none of those.

And they didn’t except through cheating.
