Saddened to hear about the loss, at the tender age of 66, of 'Marvellous' Marvin Hagler; one of the GIANTS of Boxing. He unified the Middleweight Championship and, from 1980 - 1987 was undefeated...
His professional career spanned 14 years, with 67 fights....winning 62, 52 by knockout...and held 12 successful title defences.
A quiet man. A hero of mine. I remember growing up and watching him run the streets in his Doc Martins...just 'on it', y'know? No false claims, he talked in the ring and let his boxing do the trick. Pound for pound, absolutely the greatest. Something to admire in how he carried himself and how he was. Just magnetic to this 'lil pre teen girl, at that time...
