Marvin Hagler Dead at age 66...RIP-Great boxer

Wow, yet another icon from my youth is gone. Time really does matter in this life. Loved watching this man during his career. Would have LOVED to see him and Pacquiao tap gloves and come out fighting. 

Hagler (62-3-2, 52 knockouts) won the WBA and WBC middleweight titles from Alan Minter via third-round technical knockout on Sept. 27, 1980, and claimed the inaugural IBF crown with a fourth-round win over Wilford Scypion on May 27, 1983. He made 12 successful title defenses and fought seven times in Las Vegas.

His third-round knockout victory over Tommy Hearns on April 15, 1985, at Caesars Palace is one of the most memorable fights in boxing history. As is his split-decision loss April 6, 1987, at Caesars Palace to Sugar Ray Leonard.

Update-Thomas Hearns sent out a Tweet saying he was in ICU Saturday and Hagler was battling the side effects of the vaccine

Sharp like a dagger with a strong left , his pure C-4 hits stung violent

Marvin Hagler had a bald head before it was stylish

warrior in the wild think an enormous storm born to defile shitt 

incorrigible shine a crime when he’d hit

faces and bodies changing the way they displayed their properties 

2 eyes on the left side where’d his cheek go ?

and the demon beatings to the teeth : unspeakable

broken ribs , busted noses

the motherfuccker crushed so many pugs what a showman

So it’s with sadness and remorse we handle without recourse

the canceling of a substantial force , hands like an anvil , a goddamn rambling horse

a man at his source is powerful when his plans champion his form

blasted but I’m torn

in mourning thinking everlasting is where he landed again he’s born 

RIP Marvin

Boxer Marvin Hagler Dies Unexpectedly. No One Is Talking About The Cause, Though. Strange. - The Donald - America First! (patriots.win)

Always a Treat to watch him no matter who the opponent

The man was tough !!!   RIP

That fight vs Hearns is my favorite fight of all time 

@DoubleUp4Life

 I can see how you'd say that...they came out mixing it up in the first round like it was the last round! 

@DoubleUp4Life

 agree--70's and 80's boxing was great--that fight was gold!

It was a great time for Boxing. One of the things that made the middleweight division so good 

was there distinctive personalities. Sometimes it was hard to see the respect they had for each other

because of the hatred they had for one another.

Personally I was a big Stone hands Duran fan. Leonard was likely the best. But Like Hagler once said .

Leonord was the best at lasting. He was a defensive specialist and a survivor. Lightening quick but no 

where near the punching power of a Hagler, Mugabi, or even Hit Man.

I think Marvin Hagler had the most savage hit of any and theyll never be another like him.

Proud I saw all of them in there prime.

Its feels like watching Manny Pacquiao & Eric Morales fight 1,2,3

RIP idol Marvin Hagler  

RIP  Marvin!

So many greats that went all in every fight...

One of the greatest 8 minutes of boxing you'll ever see!!!

I bet Hearns on the advice of my girlfriend's Father.

Thought I had a first round KO but Hearns couldn't put Hagler away.

How Hagler battled back to win by KO was simply amazing.

RIP Champ and thanks for the memories.  You EARNED this gold... 

Widely regarded as the greatest 3 rounds of boxing ...

My dad won some big coin on this fight ..Thought he lost it in the 1st
