66, sudden death. That’s no age.
So many memorable fights he had. Overused word legend but it is appropriate for Marvin. RIP
Bloody hell. Two big names in the sporting world gone on the same day. And you are right, 66 is no age at all.
R.I.P Marvin.
Definitely one of the best Middleweights of all time!!!
R.I.P Champ!!!!

One of the 5 best fighters of all time.
Can’t believe this news, my favourite boxer of all time gone at the age of 66, no age at all.
From smashing Alan Minter to the best fight of all time (Hagler v Hearns) then facing Magabi who at the time was 25-0 with 25 ko’s and for me the most disgusting controversial result in boxing when he lost to Leonard.
A true legend of the ring in my eyes, really am sick at this news.
RIP Marvellous, my love of boxing is all down to you...

RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
I was a big fan of Tony Sibson; gutted when he lost to Hagler.
The greatest fight of all time, 30 plus punches in first 15 secs, Hearns hurting Hagler, Hagler switching stance’s, Hagler getting cut bad and it nearly being stopped right through to Tommy getting stopped...Quote:

They all fought each other and when these guys did fight the world generally stopped...

Ive just had an email from a very good friend in the states who i met on a cruise holiday years ago, we were seated at the same table with our partners, we instantly got talking about sports and boxing and the pair of us said Hagler was our number 1, so much so they came to our wedding years later, he like me was a huge Hagler fan...

He was a menacing champ. Over 20 years ago I was in Vegas. And got the chance to sit on the ring apron in the Caesars palace parking lotQuote:

That would of been amazing, always something you’ll always remember, such an iconic venue- Same here big boxing fan, never watched anything at Caesars unfortunately. When in Vegas has just MGM grand garden, small venue but awesome atmosphere, i was lucky to get seats very close to the ring for the Hatton Vs Mayweather and Pacquiao fights, Mayweather fight was the best atmosphere i have ever experienced, whatever the sport.Quote:

He was awesome in his day, what an incredible boxer. His fights with Hearns and Duran were brutal. RIP

Golden era of middleweights
Total legend
RIP
So so sad. One of my heroes when growing up. RIP Marvelous Marvin - his legend will live forever.
Can remember watching him back in the day. One of the greats in that era.
Hagler is one of the few fighters teddy atlas calls great and he really was. Probably the best middle weight of all time
Roberto Duran same era needs a mention, hands of stone, great bookQuote:

From a great time in boxing. He survived a career in the ring at a time of great champions and did it in style. RIP
RIP Marvelous one.
