    Hagler. He worked his way up the MW "food chain", and the fruits of his labor came in the form of a 7-year reign at MW. In his prime, Marvelous Marvin Hagler was an invincible fighting machine who took on the toughest foes the MW division had to offer, and whipped them all.

    A "blue collar hero" in the truest sense.

    Mugabi was good and head to head he could give problems to any of the fab 4 if you match the 1986 Mugabi with any of them, but the problem is Hearns,Duran,Leonard,Hagler had careers which lasted for 10 years or more fighting top guys. John Mugabi fought ok guys moving up and fights Hagler and gives him a decent fight and then crumbles against Duane Thomas and Terry Norris.
