The OFFICIAL MARVELOUS Marvin Hagler DESERVES MORE RESPECT than everybody thread

Just curious for those of you who followed him during his days, did Hagler avoid anyone?

 

He would have lost to a prime time Monzon. Hagler barely beat an old blown up lightweight in Duran and lost to Leonard. Monzon would have outpointed him by a wide margin.

 

Count me in. Best chin for the past 50 years. Beat so much iron on his march to the title. Was diminished and slow when he lost to Leonard and it was still very close. In his prime, best middleweight of all time.:smoke :smoke

 

Well you overrate him, but he was a true ATG. One of the very best ever at MW.

 

Monzon almost lost to a shot Emile Griffith in the rematch, someone could easily bring that up as well.

 

I remember watching Hagler rule the MW division like a damn T-Rex when I was a kid, one my all time favorite FIGHTERS.

 

The reason Hagler almost lost to Duran was because the judges were drinking whiskey.

Hagler won 10 or 11 rounds.

 

My favorite altime Fighter .In his prime he was a match for any middleweight in history.

:bbb

 

Hagler is truly one of the most underrated ATGs here on ESB.

But there is no need to knock on SRL.

 

Much kudos for the post. You catch ppl whom really have 0 knowledge of him talking bad about him. Most of the heat he gets is from fans who just started watching boxing and dont know their history. But ppl need to watch what they say and show some respect for the greats that gave of us the opportunity to even know the sport.

 

Yep, Marvin was my fave' out of the 4. Respect to the man.

 

Marvelous Marvin..
yep.. he da man..

 

I rate him just behind Monzon personally at MW, both behind Greb based on resume. But on film, I rate Monzon the highest at MW and I'd favor him a close fight over Marvelous prime for prime.
