Hagler/Hearns Round 1

Enough said.

One of the greatest middleweights I've ever seen.

[Chi_archie]

Gosh that era of middleweights was just so amazing

I had a Sports Illustrated cover with him on it, in my basement gym wall, growing up.

He had to go nearly a decade at the top, never getting beat after getting the belt

[KnuckleHeadz]

RIP...

Marvelous Marvin
Hearns
Hagler
Duran
Best time for boxing mid 80s to early 90s

Salud, Arch. A bygone era where no one dodged.

Warrior mentality. So many great fights where guys let it fly.

[Hman]

Reason for death?

Hagler/Marciano connection

oh wow, just read this. I never had absorbed this info before

Hagler moved to Brockton, Mass after the Newark Riots. Rocky Marciano came up out of Brockton


his trainer in Brockton was Rocky's childhood buddy and trainer Goody Petronelli

[stevenash]

Covid?

Is the speculation.
From what I can piece together it was a sudden death.

His son said he had trouble breathing earlier with chest pains.
Next thing you know 4 hours later, gone.

Shame.

[Mr KLC]

It was hard to find a scarier boxer, pound for pound, in the 80's.

[jjgold]

Sad

Legend

[pavyracer]

One of the best boxers to walk the earth.

[stake1]

Rip to one of the greats

[pologq]

rem when boxing meant something as a kid and he was on tv. sad to hear.

[mjsuax13]

Great fighter.

[GT21Megatron]

Fairfield cover?

[stevenash]

Fairfield cover?

Missed by one.
No

Stags played hard, Iona outplayed us though.

[Headsterx]

Great fighter... and he did beat Sugar Ray.

[Buckandadime]

One of the all-time greatest..
62-3-2 with 52 KO's...
Enough said..
RIP Mr. Haglar...
You are the reason I used Right Guard back in the day..

[unlearn]

My favorite fighter of all time. Sad day

[Mike Huntertz]

Too bad but both Hagler and boxing are dead.

Shame.

This quote is from Hitman Hearns:

“A real true warrior Pray for the king and his family.. he’s in ICU fighting the after effects of the vaccine! He’ll be just fine but we could use the positive energy and Prayer for his Full Recovery!”

[Kermit]

Reason for death?

I read that he had just got the vaccine a couple weeks earlier.

[spurginobili]

He was one of my favorite fighters...tough, relentless

Hagler/Hearns was an all-timer

[jjgold]

I doubt from vaccine

[Thrilla]

R.I.P. sir

[jjgold]

Legend amongst Legends like the other top boxers in that era

[Sato]

66 man thats brutal. Waiting for details...
