How tall was Marvin Hagler?

5'9".5 looks accurate to me

 

I understand he was 5'9, seems pretty accurate to me. Leonard was 5'11, looks about right to me.

 

5'9

 

From personal experience, I can accurately say Hagler was 5-9 (he was three inches taller than myself).

 

You only 5 foot 6, brooklyn?:shock: What weight were you competing at?:think

(Always imagined you looked a bit like this:

Shoes on for the height, shoes off for the weight. Pretty much every sport measures height with shoes on.

 

i think i remember seeing on one of those tales of the tape that he ws 5'8

 

He's really 5'4"..ask Blockhead.

 

He was listed as 5 foot 9 for the Leonard fight, Leonard was listed as 5 foot 10.

 

Believe it or not...I had a staring contest with Hagler as he was walking with his kid. I did not know who he was, but for some reason he was staring me down and I was just going to say something to him when my girlfriend back then told me who he is. I melted into my car seat and told my girlfriend to get in the car and then I drove off. This was at the New England Aquarium in Boston. She worked there and she knew who he was. By law a professional figher cannot hit you, but I was not going to take that chance. Mind you, I was then a pretty good boxer, but no thanks. Oh, yes he is 5'9. This happened over twenty years ago.

 

Great story. Thank god for your former girlfriend. Saved you a potential beatdown. You're absolutely right though - it's not smart to take a chance, especially when the person is Marvin Hagler.

 

Yeah, I'm only 5-6. Fought at welterweight.

:rofl That picture is about the complete opposite of what I look like. I'm not tall and lean or dark skinned. Actually I'm short, muscular, and white.

 

Alan Minter is listed as 175cm tall and seemed to be taller than Hagler.

Watch the fight on Youtube and Minter has a noticeable size advantage over Hagler.

Maybe Hagler wore lifts in his shoes to get to that 5ft9 height?
