He was the total package as a fighter. He had it all. Aggression, movement, hard punches, skill, an incredible jaw, and heart like no other. Rest in peace to the Marvelous one. Marvelous Marvin Haigler will always be remembered.

The referee counted it as a knockdown and his opinion is the only one that counts.
Marvin at fight time 160.lbs During the fight at 160lbs. After the fight at 160lbs. Two months after the fight 160lbs. No ever existed a true 160lb guy other than Marvin Hagler.

I watched the fight in slow mo from beggining to end. I came to the conclusion that you score it in three ways without too much controversy. 7-5 for hagler, 7-5 for Leonard or a 6-6 draw. Definitely wasn't a robbery. Hagler really did himself a disservice coming out orthodox in the beginning and thinking he could outbox ray. Ray was really picking him apart at certain points until the marvin's relentless stalking caught up to him. He was also on his bike for most of the fight while hagler was plotting. Leonard was definitely exerting more energy. I do think however if it was 15 rounds like it should've been hagler might've stopped him or outpointed Leonard. Due to Leonard being on his last legs, no pun intended. I also felt hagler didn't go to the body enough and was lucky his head is made of cast iron because he was constantly being reckless, taking shots he didn't need to. In the end it was a beautiful fight. Leonard's footwork and pure boxing art was great. Also hagler's amazing conditioning and relentlessness was a treat to watch. A close but amazing battle. Just my take.
My favorite fighter of all time. Marvelous will live on forever.
Thats is what you guys should be posting pure gold !
He was the real beast out of the 4 kings.
Legend! 🔥
The Marvelous One 🐐
I can't explain to folks the sense of pride growing up in Brockton, Mass as Marvin captured & retained the Middleweight crown for 8 years. Nobody in our city thought Marvin could be beaten by anybody. His toughness and professionalism were legendary. To have two of the greatest fighters of all time Marvin Hagler & Rocky Marciano come from the same city is remarkable, to have both guys signified by their grit, fortitude and perseverance is gratifying.

Marvin Hagler was ok, but he was overrated. He lost to Leonard, Duran, and a bunch of other boxers and his only highlight is knocking out Tommy Hearns which wasn't even that good of a boxer to begin with. Marvin Hagler would have definitely lost Gennady Golovkin or Saul Canelo Alvarez.

Loved mr Marvin !! A true man's man !!! Rest in peace !!
As has been said; Marvin was a true professional. The Petronelli bros did a great job with him. If I'm not mistaken, they were his only trainers. The whole team was excellent. RIP Marvin, and bravo on a truly remarkable career.

True. A great fight, a criminally under rated fight, why ? coz Hagler won n Hagler had been destroying challengers for so long people just expected it. Had Mugabi won it woulda been classed as one of the greatest MW fights in history, definitely one of the best in the modern era (since 1980)

Agree completely. Mugabi fought magnificently that night and would have won if he had been in the ring with anyone else. In another era, Mugabi would have been a long term, maybe even a great, champion, but he had the rotten luck of being around at the same time as the greatest middleweight champion of all time, Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
loved the Mugabi Fight think I'll watch it again when I get back home ✌️
Good boxing 🥊 Marvin Hello from Uķraine We love you boxing 🥊🥊🥊
John Mugabi was a real talent, and is one of my favorites of the sport. Much respect to Hagler for his career and legacy. This fight was a monumental one, the clash of two great forces.
Reason why I like old school boxing always confident,always ready,always motivated and always discipline love it 😊
The MARVELOUS, 100% the best midweight!

Applause!!!!
Martin hagler one of the all time greats. Loved his mindset and fights. Please upload more training of him
He's the greatest I've ever seen and certainly his fight against Hearns is the one I reckon that got me into the sport in the first place. His performance against Mugabi also showed how tough and determined he was. Shame he's gone.

He definitely was a rhythm boxer. I wouldnt say he was like dancing, typically yer not setting up strikes when yer dancing, unless its Capoeira. Boxing is all about rhythm, Robinson was a tap dancer after boxing, Ali, Leonard & Roy Jones were all rhythm guys too. Larry Holmes as well. Thing about Hagler was his versatility & unpredictability, nobody could upset his rhythm. There was no formula for "getting to him" Duran got to Leonard. Frazier got to Ali. There was no getting to Hagler, he had too many strings to his bow.

@@Lee-bz2xn He more than likely trained with music. Skipping for sure helps but to me skipping gives coordination more than rhythm. Shadow boxing, especially to music would give him that dancer look (that I thought you seen) that I see when he fights & its when hes flinching n feinting n bobbing before he attacks you can see his rhythm, hes reading your reactions/body language but with Hagler each flinch, feint or bob he made gave him 4 or 5 attacking options on you, where as a good/great boxer, as opposed to an all time great one like Hagler was, may give himself 3 options. Hagler was just so versatile & very difficult to successfully attack tactically/consistently & he was equally offensively good. Ambidextrous in both attack & defence & he fought with a beautiful balance between the 2. 100% dedication to his craft, hours upon hours shadow boxing then sparring, applying & then fine tuning the concepts he had been thinking about during every quiet moment he had. Hagler was no accident or no fluke, he was kinesthetic intelligence & tactics, more master craftsman than artist. A Demolition expert. #Marvelous
