Looks like Hagler does not want to be part of it.

Yeah i think that would of hurt Hagler.
Bernstein probably has talked to him about it since though i would think and hope.

 

Maybe. What would you have said if you were the commentator?

 

Probably wlda said something about him being one of the best middleweights of all time and hes had a great career.

And not just cause he's a very intimidating fella

 

what if he asked, am i best middleweight of all time? Would you just say yes to be nice or hold your ground and say no?

 

hagler is not intimidating outside of the ring at all.

 

Nailed it. Arguably the biggest winner in boxing history taking everything into consideration.

 

I dont think Hagler deserves to be with the other three. he was the only one out of the four that never got knocked out

:smoke

 

He's also the only one that never won.a title in another division.

 

its not the fabulous 4, it's the fabulous 3 and the marvellous 1.

 

Wow, a lot of stupid baseless assumptions being voiced on this thread.
Incredible.

Maybe Marvin Hagler has better things to do with his life that evening. He's done many 'nights with the champion' dinner type events, perhaps he's grown tired of the 'nostalgia circuit' or has a LIFE outside of reminiscing about things that happened 30 years ago.
He appears at enough of these events over the years. It's wrong though to assume that it's all he should live for.

People here on ESB Classic (and other 'boxing geeks' and ill-informed boxing pundits) have a very warped perspective on what retired boxers should or shouldn't be doing.

 

Good Post.

 

:deal

 

He just wanted to be the greatest mw.

Though he did fight as a lhw earlier in his career, last fight as lhw was at 26-2-1

 

They were staged as lhw because one or two of the fighters were 1 or 2 lbs above the mw limit.

So I was sort of incorrect there, 162 lbs doesn't make a lhw.

 

such a trajedy! going thru an entire career w/o getting stopped or floored doesnt carry as much weight as a collection of alphabet soup titles
