    I remember that fight, but most of all I remember him saying "No black man is going to take my belt" (or something very similar) before fighting Hagler.

    I was a big fan of Alan Minter when I was a kid, but what happened before and after the Hagler fight was not good for boxing.

    heres me with him im on the right in red

    i like his style in the way he fights Antuofermo but he loses it against Hagler and brawls. He had a very cultured right hand that he used as a great jab especially in the opener agaisnt Vito. He could trade but he was a miles better boxer

    He was a great guy so it definitly wasnt Scholes. Also Scholes wouldnt have been as good

    Claypole mentioned above what he said. "No black man is going to take my belt".

    Then Marvin whooped his arse.....
