    Hagler/Hearns Round 1

    Enough said.

    One of the greatest middleweights I've ever seen.

    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

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

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

    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

    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.

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