In and out of the ring a great man. RIP Marvin.
I'm happy you aged well champ.
He left with all his faculties in place. No slurred speech with marvin and stayed in shape too.

He was tougher than bricks. You could hit him with a bulldozer of a hook, a shotgun of a cross or a sledgehammer of an uppercut and he'd brush it off like it was nothing.

Marvelous Marvin Hagler, there will NEVER be another one like You. The dedication throughout your entire Boxing career, inspired me like you can't imagine! I graduated Law School because of you Sir Marvin Hagler. I studied like the way you once trained. You are the BEST EVER! Respectfully written, Santiago Murillo, Esq.
Even at 61 Hagler is still a bad man. One of the greatest ever.
He's still in shape man!
marvin the legend, the best middleweight i have ever seen and most probably ever will see, apologies from London for the disgraceful scenes in 1980 real fight fans do not do that crap,thanks for the memories,marvellous is about right you earnt that in so many ways

That Minter incident in London was hard to watch. Hagler doesn’t hold a grudge and American fans shouldn’t either. We have a dark legacy of racism in boxing! Think of what Joe Louis and Jack Johnson experienced.
The Rolls Royce of Boxers.

Wow, what a fighter this guy was and he speaks with a lot of passion and honesty also. I just wish that people who say that this guy, that guy, would have beat him in his day, would think about it for a while, study his career and then make an assessment . There are a lot of RJJ, Toney, Hopkins, Benn, Eubank, Mc Clellan, Hopkins etc, fans who honestly reckon they could've beaten him, yet not 1 of these guys ever Unified the MW Division and so therefore became Undisputed Champion either. This guy, just like Monzon beforehand , was a Unified , Undisputed Champion for 7 and a half years , beating no 1 Contenders almost every fight and not handpicked guys either. He speaks a lot of sense also and is 100% correct , that all the top guys should fight each other, bring more interest back to the game and try find the next Monzon or Hagler who can be called a true, Unified, Undisputed Champion , taking on all comers for a period of time thus bringing back a bit of integrity back to the sport.
RIP to such a legend. Unrivaled in my opinion. And was able to get out with slurred speech like we see nowadays with older boxers. 66 years old and gone too soon.
a living legend
The best middlesweight all over time together Monzon and Robinson.. and one of the best puncher of alwais ....
All those wars & not a stutter. Marvin was special. Greatest Southpaw & my Fave fighter.
R.I.P 🙏🏾
RIP Alan Minter.... We as boxing fans will always Honor & Respect the Warriors of the Ring!!!
I loved this guy, happy to see he's healthy
Marvin Hagler was one the greatest fighters i ever seen fight he had it all a true warrior, he had the iron chin powerful punching power, excellent body , fighters feared him , he had no fear of anyone and he came out fine after he retired no slurred speech or anything , he is blessed.

I had the honor of introducing Marvin Hagler every year at a special HOF luncheon for champions supporting the ill and elderly in our nursing homes. Marvin attended every year, and was always a gentleman of the highest accord. Greatest middleweight in history in my opinion, and I’ve seen most. Greatness, and a tremendous dignitary in this sport we love. You are greatly missed Marvin.
My Favorite fighter! Brockton Ma$$
Greatest Southpaw fighter of all-time imo. His defense is so underrated. Look how sharp his mind is. Had wars but parry'd and slipped so many punches. Mugabi my favorite fight of his & Minter!
This warrior still looks great and man was he feared.
Most great fighters are smart people..They might not speak well but to be able to just & think on your feet to find a way to win..I believe if 2 fighters are close in skills then the smarter guy has the advantage..
Greatest middleweight ever ! R.I.P. champ. Humble man and a good man....!
He was a true warrior
Marvelous Marvin Hagler Is a AWESOME LEGEND!
A great man in and out of the ring,a true warrior and a true great and still looking sharp,live long Marvellous Marv .
I had not heard Marvin speak for years and am so happy he still had the ability to speak clearly especially as he took some shots RIP!!!
Great interview by a really really great fighter, Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Like others have said here, MH looks in great physical shape but more importantly he has all his faculties intact as well. MH is probably my favourite fighter. Well done champ and I hope life continues sweet for you.
Hagler was the greatest middleweight hands down.
The BEST EVER ⭐️ I’m 57 now and Hagler was THE MAN !
My favorite middleweight of all time. A different breed than today’s fighters.
Tony Sibson loves Marvin and certainly would have been world champ if it had been anyone but Marvin Hagler fighting him. What great human beings Marvin and Tony are.
The greatest!
Glad he can speak so well and clear. The guy had so many tough fights. Respect
the greatest middleweight of all time! and hagler was robbed!
"We couldn't pick our opponents" True that.. no one in their right mind would pick hearns, Mugabe then Leonard back to back.. RIP Marvellous
To me the greatest of all time. The whole package, in and out of the ring.
V skillfull technical blue collar stylist who could brawl,swarm ,punch and had a chin of iron,and stamina
This man was no joke! Always fought the number one contender. Total class. R.I.P. Champ.
One of the greatest if not the greatest middle wieght of all time you can't run from him he fights south paw and orthodox
My all-time favorite fighter. He still looks great.
God of boxing !! God bless you Marvellous! !!
great to see marvin hagler !
Hagler is still Marvelous with his insights, charm, and humor. He shows not the slightest sign of having had 67 professional fights.
Can't believe he has gone my hero 😭 the only person I want to meet Rip champ G from Durham England xx
Long Live the King, In loving Memory of the greatest middleweight to ever grace the boxing world, this guy had it all, he was exciting to watch, exiting to listen to, a much loved guy who is sadly missed, RIP Marvelous

so happy that this man retired early and has 0 cte; he's a legend and looks great for his age
Best ever, true warrior.
A Legend. He was tough, smart & fearless. The Goat of the middle weight divison.
Mi campeón mundial de todos los tiempos.
Thanks for the entertainment Marvin. The 80”s were great in every way possible. And you were part of that. Gentleman and legend.
what a great interview, that really re-lived Hagler's era and gave such an insight
-the greatest ever-
Even today I Wuouldn't want to be in a physical confrontation with him
Great interview 👍
Class act til the very end. Rest in peace.
Losing the decision to Leonard didn't diminish his legacy because he was getting screwed his whole career. This man was a great man and champion.
So lucky to had opportunity to be around at what might have been boxing's primetime, time will tell? Thanks Hagler,Hearns, Leonard,Duran,Tyson and others for great boxing and lifelong fantastic memories
joy to watch one of the alltime greats
This man is sharp as a razor and seeing him conduct himself in this manner is very humbling.
best modern day middleweight by far

Agree but I reckon Monzon a very close 2nd, both these guys were Unified , Undisputed MW Champions for 7+ years each, Monzon 70 - 77, Hagler 79 - 87. There isn't a single guy who comes near their records since, their achievements may not be seen again for a long long time, 2 absolute legends.
Marvelous ♥️🙏🏻
Great to hear a man who achieved so much speak with such modesty and humility .in a world where legends seem to come along every 5 minutes and last even shorter beliving thier own hype without accomplishing anything. Mr Hagler played a massive part in my little career without even knowing it and I'm sure any southpaw fighter around at the time look at his fights for tips and inspiration. I salute you marvellous one god bless
"Absolute Power" i love him
Legend.
Legend simples👊👊
Great Great strong fighter!!! mentally and physically 👍
still great
The best marvellous Marvin RIP
One of the best to ever do it
You can teach a man to be skillfull but you can't give him a Heart, Marvelous Marvin Hagler was one in a Billion 🙏 A TRUE Legend 🙏
Warrior
What a man. A true champion. He never did these sleazy tune up fights that fighters do so often today.
Marvin doesn't seem like he likes Ray lenard..Mavin let's you know that nobody around the world likes Mayweather style ..Fans feel like they are getting ripped off watching Floyd fight..Hearns vs Hagler best 3 rounds ever..
Great Interview, R>I>P MARVELOUS
Love Marvelous!!
Marvin hagler is my hero god bless you Marvin
Mmh The One ❤
Marvin...one word...Dignity...
Marvin is a great champion and human being. To me...the middleweight GOAT!
Is the Best. Great person, what people look up to......
Marvin mentioning Mugabi... People have short memory, Mugabi was a monster and one of the best fight against Hagler.
Rip Champ, God bless your soul
He's right if you don't knock the champion out...he keeps the belt..9 times out of 10.
MARVELOUS IS A BAD MAN ONE OF THE GREATS
Great fighter was Marvin
Definitely Marvellous... he truly was the best of his era... i only wish as i'm sure he does, that he'd come out against sugar ray the way he did against hearns... he would've ironed him out no problem. He was ruthless in the ring and will always be one of my all time favourites...

Hmm.. is it a coincidence that Marvin's trainers were affiliated with the mafia.. and after not turning up and losing to Ray.. he walked off into a movie career in Europe.. predominantly Italy.. it could be a coincidence.. but maybe not.. you cannot deny he fought poorly that night.. never switched hands once never really put it on Ray.. i'll never take anything away from Leonard.. he was a great fighter no doubt.. one things for sure.. a LOT of money was won betting on Ray that night..
class act. RIP Marvellous Marvin Hagler
