    Amazed it's taken this long to put up a statue for him. Those photos don't do the statue justice, others I have seen, look much better and it's a pretty good likeness, only the real Hagler has a harder chin, lol.

    The belts are a cool touch

    Does Marciano have a statue in Brockton?

    The utter disrespect; should have been carved from granite, coated in steel, reinforced by titanium, baptised in fire and standing on top of the world

    It’s too bad Marv himself didn’t get to see it.

    It is one of the better statue depictions of a fighter - they got him right facially.

    Physique wise, it is also bang on. Hags actually did look like he was carved out of marble, so he made for a great model without need to exaggerate or modify his build.

    Elon should have put it in a red 58 Corvette and made it truly immortal by securing the likeness of Marvelous in permanent geosynchronous orbit over Brockton.
