Not only did he "clean out the division", it was probably the strongest division of any in boxing history. So many great and brutal fighters from then.
He even knew some filipino fighters back then like Pancho Villa or Flash Elorde. People in the west ignore asian boxers. He is indeed encyclopdia when it comes to boxing.
Not gonna lie , this one hit me and I’m only 22 years old ... when I started to learn about the history of boxing in late 2015’ marvelous easily became one of my favorites
I wish I was older because I don't want to act like I knew him but I can see he meant a lot to so many He seemed like a hard-working man and a good man You can tell when people talk genuinely about someone Did you get to watch him?
That is OUTSTANDING! Sounds like the Hagler I grew up in Boston listening to on the radio - he'd often appear as a guest on Eddie Andelman's Sunday night Sports Huddle talk show, back in the late 1970's.

@@serenityinside1 Sugar Ray Robinson is up there. Carlos Monzon in the debate maybe or Roy Jones Jr. For me Sugar Ray and Marvin Hagler are the two greatest middleweights. It’s all subjective though, so don’t be calling anyone fool when there is literally no fact to the debate.
Indeed this guys was so intimidating ..he had that ring presence that so few had! If there is a positive to this is he is now sprouting his Marvelous-ness and greatness in the heavens above!!
My deepest condolences to his family and fans. Marvin, truly was a one of a kind generational talent. He never had it easy, always had to fight. May his Soul and Spirit rest in peace🙏
Marvelous Marvin Hagler was the man when I was growing up. Just like Max said. He was and is and will always be my favorite boxer of all time. He was intimidating, powerful, had a granite chin and endless heart and more skill than they ever gave him credit for. Rest In Peace, Marvin Hagler! Best MW of all time!
Boxers today have so much to learn from the legendary Marvin Hagler. He fought everyone and never hid behind his promoter whining about sides of the street. Errol Spence should take a hard look at Hagler and finally fight Bud.

When he beat Duran, I was convinced.. Because Duran put on an inspired performance.. But even the Hands of Stone couldn’t chop that beast down.. The greatest middleweight of them all..

Hagler won that fight vs Leonard. Duran probably would have beaten Leonard in the rematch if he wasn’t rushed into it. He had been partying hard after the first fight and Leonard’s team knew this so pushed for the date of the fight to be sooner. Duran wasn’t in 100% shape for that rematch.

Ray fought in SPURTS... Hagler showed he wanted it more than Ray & what happened to "you have it take from the Champ"? Ray didn't take it, he RAN with a victory
I'm glad max mentioned the change from 15 rounds to 12 rounds cuz Leonard knew that those last 3 rounds always belonged to Hagler the King of the 15 round fights.
The fact that he felt disrespected throughout his career made him an even greater fighter IMO. In the end he did make it into the boxing hall of fame. He got emotional and cried when he was inducted.

Heartfelt comments...he dominated the middleweight division at a time of more hall of fame middleweights than any other era. What stood out for me is that he did something no boxer or mma guy has done since...he would switch from left handed stance to right handed stance constantly...a pure genius of boxing.
It does sting, whenever someone passes away, and you grew up with them, even if it's indirectly, it's a reminder, our time on earth is borrowed....I read the news yesterday and first thought was awww, because it brought sadness....Listen, it is said, we all die, but it's important to leave something behind that last forever.... Hagler did that, one of the greats!
this one really hit me hard - I'm from London, England (UK). I'm an adult - a grown up - strong - eastablished - but I still couldn't control myself from shedding a few tears at his passing. He was special - I know people say "lots of people say special, unique and so on" - and I agree, many are special, but this was something else. I'll miss the guy. Died well before his time.
I don't know about that. Holmes was an undefeated Heavyweight, a weight class that always (until the early 2000s) was the highest viewed/watched weight class in boxing.
@@noneofyourdamnbusiness9012 Marvin Hagler was popular than Larry Holmes back in the 80s because he brought in high intensity in the boxing ring while Holmes was proceed as boring.
My condolences for the family and loved ones. May he rest in peace, immense respect for this great man who marked the generations and the history of his sport. Huge respect!
He wasn’t the freak of nature that Tommy was. He wasn’t the athletic prodigy Ray was. But his skill set was flawless. great conditioning, light on his feet, power, precision, head movement, switch hitter. He’s one of the few boxers ever that had 0 weaknesses
What Marvin Hagler as one of the best middleweight Champion of all time is His Raw Talent and Raw Power and his Stamina that's why became Marvelous as we know him today...
When a sports person becomes a legend whilst they are still in the midst of their career you know that they are special. Marvelous Marvin Hagler earned the middleweight title every time he stepped in the ring. There were no easy fights, he took on the hardest challenges and the best opponents in an era stacked with top talent and boxers with their own claims to greatness. The first boxing match I can remember is Minter vs Hagler, I was only ten and from the UK, but you could see Hagler was a different class altogether. A very sad loss of a truly great man and undisputed champion.
If you don't know Boxing this won't hit as hard. The guy was a Warrior. A lot of movie characters probably have taken some base from his character. The guy used to run in brick boots in winter cold. Ex - SAS guys tell me stories of him. The guy was the real deal. Makes me wish I was older to have seen his fights live. 🥊 goodbye Champ.
Marvellous Marvin Hagler was just cut from a different cloth!! He was Champion for a long time and he fought everyone!! There was only the wbc and wba titles when Hagler dominated.. ✊🏽✊🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hagler had a huge hand into making boxing to what it is today! This man paved the way for manny ,floyd,ect ect. These boxers can thank the Marvelous One for they're huge pay days! Salute to a true legend
The absolute best technical boxer I have ever seen in my life. And he really didn't lose to Leonard, but it wasn't the result. He lived around the corner from me in ATL
@@GoGetYourShinebox Hagler is the greatest middleweight of all time because he is a true middleweight his whole career. Sugar ray robinson fought 5 times as a middleweight. Leonard fought 1 time as middleweight. Both of the sugar rays shouldnt even be in the conversation.
The late GREAT Marvelous Marvin Hagler! A true roll model to any aspiring boxer. A WAR-RIOR, made from Valyrian steel, honed in to a battle sword that cut done everyone in his path. COURAGE to fight anyone FORTITUDE in the face of danger TEMPERANCE outside the ring WISDOM to quit the game on his terms Rest In Pease blissfully in Valhalla🕊
Stephen A Smith just a week ago pushed for the black community to take the vaccines but Stephen A has failed to tell us about some of the greats like Hagler, Hank Aaron, etc. that had taken vaccines weeks before death, No discussion at all about the possibility that this vaccines could have been reason they died at least it should be talked about if your going to encourage people to take it.
I seen him once at a coney island outside of Detroit, dressed to the 9's custom made suit snake skin shoes! He walked in the door and the earth stopped! People got autograph's he was so friendly! Very down to earth person.

I remember watching Hagler and Hearns in Jennings, Missouri with my father and uncle at my aunt and uncle's house. This was a highly anticipated fight and the whole time both my father and uncle were all about the Marvelous one. I'll never forget that fight.
@@bobsteward717 When a seemingly healthy person suddenly drops dead, that is the first thing you go to. Heart attacks are the most common cause of sudden deaths.
@@chriskay1449 A healthy person. That is would be in very rare cases. Most likely if your overweight, have health problems. Yes then there would be a reason. For 4 hours he was having trouble breathing. Something worse was going on. A heart attack just happens I never heard of a 4 hour heart attack.
@Tuff 701 idk what u read, but everything I read was hearns slamming ppl claiming it was the vaccine, and him calling them idiots. So say what u will. Either way tommy hearns brain is jello these days, so whatever he says should be taken w a grain of salt.
I thought Leonard wanted the fifteen rounds and a larger ring for the fight. Plus, he probably had one judge on the scorecard paid off and it did having his score of 118 to 110 for Leonard. There was no way that judge was even fair.
technically , point wise Leonard won the the boxing match, but leonard didnt win the fight. And a Great Champion should never lose his belts to a man who didnt come to fight. Not at one point during the fight did you think that leonard was trying to make a statement that he was a better boxer or fighter. Leonard looked like he was trying to just go for a points victory and stay out of harms way. And that was surprising coming from a great fighter like Leonard who, in almost of his fights in his prime , clearly established that he was the dominant fighter by the end of the fight. I wish Sugar Ray's eye would've never suffered that damage, and I understand he fought that way to avoid more damage to the eye, but judges shouldnt have taken Marvin's title like that.
Hello everyone, I have only just now viewed this video. Great respect must go to these two gentlemen for their respect and how they've spoken about and respected the late, great, Marvelous Marvin Hagler. I absolutely, totally respect and agree with Marvin, how he just vacated the scene after he fought, and in my mind beat, with great respect, Sugar Ray Leonard. Marvin wasn't just fighting Ray Leonard. He was fighting the whole scene. They'd already decided before the fight, who they wanted to win through the romance of Ray Leonard returning after a long lay off, and how exciting they thought it would be for a legendary, long-standing, iconic champion to be beaten. It's just shocking to see that all happen. It jolly well serves them all right, that such dedicated beast of a champion gave them all two fingers, never to be seen in the ring again. That's what they deserved for the respect they gave this iconic champion. I was ten years old when Marvin Hagler beat our own Alan Minter in what turned out to be a blood bath. I felt sorry for our Alan Minter because Marvin was on another level completely. Marvin was far superior to our guy, and he proved it for reigning as long as he did and fighting, without dodging anyone, the fighters he fought. It was a shameful end to such an eye watering, glittering, fantastic career, just by people who didn't want him to win. Marvellous Marvin Hagler couldn't be faulted in any part of his career. It all sparkled. Like these two gentlemen said, Marvin was the Mike Tyson of the middleweight division. What more of a tribute can you say when your division includes Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Roberto Duran, Roberto Duran, John Mugabi, etc. There's nothing more to be said. It doesn't get any better than Marvellous Marvin Hagler. An absolutely true, dedicated, honest champion who was conned. So he paid them the ultimate disrespect and jolly good luck to him too. That's what they deserved and got.
He possibly or probably died from complications of the vaccine. Not sure if the vaccine was for the coronavirus. If so people everywhere need to know the vaccine is NOT safe or proven. Many have died or will die because of cytokine storm.
@@JoeMenjivar Joe his wife doesn't know if it was the vaccine. She may have been told to say that upon threat. Think about it. Tommy Hearns probably spoke the truth and he said Marvin was suffering from the side affects of a vaccine. The question is what kind of vaccine? The Covid vaccine can cause inflammation which cause all kinds of complications including high blood pressure and a heart attack.
I've always been a Marvin Hagler fan, so much skill and determination, a class act the whole way through. Marvin was only 1yr older then I and of course in way better shape. I'd really like to know what took Marvin down for the 10 count?
One of my favorite Middleweights of all-time always go back to watch ⌚ that classic fight with Him and Herns. Even though Sugar Ray Leonard is my boy he stole that fight from Marvin Hagler. He cleaned out that division ➗ with ease. He scared fighters R.I.P S.I.P Marvin Hagler. Gone but, will never ever be forgotten
@@danlivni2097 of course he shouldn't have won the match in the 1st place and I'm a big Sugar Ray Leonard fan he was hitting below with the Bolo punch Richard Steele was supposed to take points away but, didn't also he stole rounds by winning the 1st 30 seconds of the round and the last 30 seconds of the round. If that fight went 15 rounds he would have lost

Not only did he "clean out the division", it was probably the strongest division of any in boxing history. So many great and brutal fighters from then.
True that.
Maaan there were brutal warriors back then in the middleweight div.
Prime years in many weight classes. Insane amount of supreme level boxers from 135 to 160 in the 80s.
Truth
I get sad and wistful thinking about those days.
Max is a boxing encyclopedia, being a big Hagler fan, I even forgot about some of those early fights he had in Philly
I still want to watch his fights against Earl the Worm Monroe and Boogaloo Watts

this one really hit me hard - I'm from London, England (UK). I'm an adult - a grown up - strong - eastablished - but I still couldn't control myself from shedding a few tears at his passing. He was special - I know people say "lots of people say special, unique and so on" - and I agree, many are special, but this was something else. I'll miss the guy. Died well before his time.
Marvelous Marvin Hagler was one of the biggest sports figures back in the 80s. More popular than Larry Holmes
I don't know about that. Holmes was an undefeated Heavyweight, a weight class that always (until the early 2000s) was the highest viewed/watched weight class in boxing.
@@noneofyourdamnbusiness9012 Marvin Hagler was popular than Larry Holmes back in the 80s because he brought in high intensity in the boxing ring while Holmes was proceed as boring.
@@alistairfannell6694 True!
Everyone knew that when Hagler stepped in the ring there was going to be a proper scrap.
They were both overshadowed!
My condolences for the family and loved ones. May he rest in peace, immense respect for this great man who marked the generations and the history of his sport. Huge respect!
He wasn’t the freak of nature that Tommy was. He wasn’t the athletic prodigy Ray was. But his skill set was flawless. great conditioning, light on his feet, power, precision, head movement, switch hitter. He’s one of the few boxers ever that had 0 weaknesses
What Marvin Hagler as one of the best middleweight Champion of all time is His Raw Talent and Raw Power and his Stamina that's why became Marvelous as we know him today...
"Mike Tyson before Mike Tyson!" Good description!
Mike was a fireball of fury that burned out though.Marvin carved himself into a block of steel with sheer willpower.True warrior
@@petermontgomery8707 Hagler was more disciplined, stayed true to his craft. Tyson got the fame & wealth and went off the rails.
When it came to skills though Tyson couldn't touch Hagler.
@@xaviervega468 True, but different weight class
Hagler was a complete fighter with a granite chin...Tysons chin ended up being brittle...
Mr. Max you are a boxing encyclopaedia I love what you preach keep it up thank you
I love when Max talks boxing
This one hit me like a ton of bricks. Heartbroken.
Marvin Hagler was simply marvelous
When a sports person becomes a legend whilst they are still in the midst of their career you know that they are special. Marvelous Marvin Hagler earned the middleweight title every time he stepped in the ring. There were no easy fights, he took on the hardest challenges and the best opponents in an era stacked with top talent and boxers with their own claims to greatness. The first boxing match I can remember is Minter vs Hagler, I was only ten and from the UK, but you could see Hagler was a different class altogether. A very sad loss of a truly great man and undisputed champion.
If you don't know Boxing this won't hit as hard. The guy was a Warrior. A lot of movie characters probably have taken some base from his character. The guy used to run in brick boots in winter cold. Ex - SAS guys tell me stories of him. The guy was the real deal. Makes me wish I was older to have seen his fights live. 🥊 goodbye Champ.
Marvellous Marvin Hagler was just cut from a different cloth!! He was Champion for a long time and he fought everyone!! There was only the wbc and wba titles when Hagler dominated.. ✊🏽✊🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Notice that no one is telling you how Hagler died. 🤔
Stop it. Y’all conspiracy theorists make me sick
@@vincegonzalez6804 you make me sick believing the government is your friend. THEYRE NOT
Hagler had a huge hand into making boxing to what it is today! This man paved the way for manny ,floyd,ect ect. These boxers can thank the Marvelous One for they're huge pay days! Salute to a true legend

True. Warrior. and. Champion. Marvelous. Marvin. Hagler. Rest. Well. Your. favorite. fan. always. 🙏 🙏
He was a killer and a straight maniac in the ring 💪🏽 legend
The absolute best technical boxer I have ever seen in my life. And he really didn't lose to Leonard, but it wasn't the result. He lived around the corner from me in ATL
The greatest middleweight of ALL TIME. At a time when the middleweight division was at it's best, he was the best of the best.
He's my fav middleweight 100% but I'd have to say Carlos monzon was the best middleweight
Wow Legend! May his Soul Rest in Peace.
rest in power to a great
He died one day after receiving Covid vaccine.
Chick doesn’t have an idea. Marvelous was everything every boxer wants to be
We need a movie about Hagler and it should be called Marvelous.
That’s how we do in Newark NJ
To me, he will always be the Greatest Middleweight of all-time!
Hard to pick between him and Sugar Ray. Just goes to show how great Hagler was. A God tier middleweight who would fight anybody.
@@GoGetYourShinebox my issue with Sugar Ray is how he didn't want to fight Hagler, until 5 years after he retired, when Hagler lost a step.
Hagler was the best ever middle weight, Leonard was like floyd running in the ring and scare to fight deep with he's opponents.
@@GoGetYourShinebox Hagler is the greatest middleweight of all time because he is a true middleweight his whole career. Sugar ray robinson fought 5 times as a middleweight. Leonard fought 1 time as middleweight. Both of the sugar rays shouldnt even be in the conversation.
The late GREAT Marvelous Marvin Hagler!
A true roll model to any aspiring boxer. A WAR-RIOR, made from Valyrian steel, honed in to a battle sword that cut done everyone in his path.
COURAGE to fight anyone
FORTITUDE in the face of danger
TEMPERANCE outside the ring
WISDOM to quit the game on his terms
Rest In Pease blissfully in Valhalla🕊
Stephen A Smith just a week ago pushed for the black community to take the vaccines but Stephen A has failed to tell us about some of the greats like Hagler, Hank Aaron, etc. that had taken vaccines weeks before death, No discussion at all about the possibility that this vaccines could have been reason they died at least it should be talked about if your going to encourage people to take it.
The best ever!!
Hank and Hagler go as soon as they take the Devils poison

That vaccine bruh
I seen him once at a coney island outside of Detroit, dressed to the 9's custom made suit snake skin shoes! He walked in the door and the earth stopped! People got autograph's he was so friendly! Very down to earth person.
Molly did an excellent job here by sitting quietly and letting the men talk about boxing. If only she could do this all the time.
with two premiere loudmouths, she's lucky to get a word in edgewise. to take what you said a step further, molly and stephen a, both should have sit quietly and let max kellerman talk although stephen a. said nothing that wasn't true and he met the man so...
"He would speak english in a thick italian accent"
"Yep"
El mejor boxeador de todos los tiempos......el mejor boxeador de la historia = El gran Marvin Hagler ! ! ! Descanse en paz grandisimo campeon....Maestro.
Never saw Steven a so calm about taking about someone Hagler was the best hands down Lenard was afraid of him

I remember watching Hagler and Hearns in Jennings, Missouri with my father and uncle at my aunt and uncle's house. This was a highly anticipated fight and the whole time both my father and uncle were all about the Marvelous one. I'll never forget that fight.
Marvin Haglar was no joke, will bruise you in the ring. He could fight his tale off 1 of the greatest middleweight Champions🐐

I thought Leonard wanted the fifteen rounds and a larger ring for the fight. Plus, he probably had one judge on the scorecard paid off and it did having his score of 118 to 110 for Leonard. There was no way that judge was even fair.
One of my heroes as a kid back then I’m still pissed that they robbed him in that Lenard fight
Hagler wanted a rematch with Leonard in 88, but Leonard didn't want a rematch cause he knew would lose
Same here. Boxing was my favorite sport up until that night.
technically , point wise Leonard won the the boxing match, but leonard didnt win the fight. And a Great Champion should never lose his belts to a man who didnt come to fight. Not at one point during the fight did you think that leonard was trying to make a statement that he was a better boxer or fighter. Leonard looked like he was trying to just go for a points victory and stay out of harms way. And that was surprising coming from a great fighter like Leonard who, in almost of his fights in his prime , clearly established that he was the dominant fighter by the end of the fight. I wish Sugar Ray's eye would've never suffered that damage, and I understand he fought that way to avoid more damage to the eye, but judges shouldnt have taken Marvin's title like that.
Hello everyone, I have only just now viewed this video.
Great respect must go to these two gentlemen for their respect and how they've spoken about and respected the late, great, Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
I absolutely, totally respect and agree with Marvin, how he just vacated the scene after he fought, and in my mind beat, with great respect, Sugar Ray Leonard.
Marvin wasn't just fighting Ray Leonard. He was fighting the whole scene. They'd already decided before the fight, who they wanted to win through the romance of Ray Leonard returning after a long lay off, and how exciting they thought it would be for a legendary, long-standing, iconic champion to be beaten. It's just shocking to see that all happen.
It jolly well serves them all right, that such dedicated beast of a champion gave them all two fingers, never to be seen in the ring again. That's what they deserved for the respect they gave this iconic champion.
I was ten years old when Marvin Hagler beat our own Alan Minter in what turned out to be a blood bath. I felt sorry for our Alan Minter because Marvin was on another level completely. Marvin was far superior to our guy, and he proved it for reigning as long as he did and fighting, without dodging anyone, the fighters he fought.
It was a shameful end to such an eye watering, glittering, fantastic career, just by people who didn't want him to win.
Marvellous Marvin Hagler couldn't be faulted in any part of his career. It all sparkled. Like these two gentlemen said, Marvin was the Mike Tyson of the middleweight division. What more of a tribute can you say when your division includes Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Roberto Duran, Roberto Duran, John Mugabi, etc. There's nothing more to be said. It doesn't get any better than Marvellous Marvin Hagler. An absolutely true, dedicated, honest champion who was conned. So he paid them the ultimate disrespect and jolly good luck to him too. That's what they deserved and got.
Dude was so lit he changed his name into Marvelous. 🔥
He was disrespected when people refused to call him Marvelous. So he legally changed it
Marvelous Jogging at 4:00am in the snow screaming War War War
Look up how he died, they don’t care about your health. And they for sure don’t want you alive.
He possibly or probably died from complications of the vaccine. Not sure if the vaccine was for the coronavirus. If so people everywhere need to know the vaccine is NOT safe or proven. Many have died or will die because of cytokine storm.
@@LAStreetPreacher His wife said it wasn't the vaccine. To use his death as anti-vaccine nonsense is a disrespect to him and his family.
@@JoeMenjivar Joe his wife doesn't know if it was the vaccine. She may have been told to say that upon threat. Think about it. Tommy Hearns probably spoke the truth and he said Marvin was suffering from the side affects of a vaccine. The question is what kind of vaccine? The Covid vaccine can cause inflammation which cause all kinds of complications including high blood pressure and a heart attack.
@@LAStreetPreacher How would Tommy know,is Tommy Hearns a doctor or medical examiner?
Marvelous Hagler was the greatest middleweight of all time!
You hear about Hagler /Hearns ,,,,,, Hagler/Leonard but one of my favorites is Hagler/John"The Beast" Mugabi
GREAT FIGHT. Mugabi was almost unbeatable then.
Hagler took Mygabi's heart.
I've always been a Marvin Hagler fan, so much skill and determination, a
class act the whole way through. Marvin was only 1yr older then I and
of course in way better shape. I'd really like to know what took Marvin
down for the 10 count?
Right after he got the Covid Vaccine smh
One of my favorite Middleweights of all-time always go back to watch ⌚ that classic fight with Him and Herns. Even though Sugar Ray Leonard is my boy he stole that fight from Marvin Hagler. He cleaned out that division ➗ with ease. He scared fighters R.I.P S.I.P Marvin Hagler. Gone but, will never ever be forgotten
Hagler wanted a rematch with Leonard in 88, but Leonard didn't want a rematch cause he knew would lose
@@danlivni2097 of course he shouldn't have won the match in the 1st place and I'm a big Sugar Ray Leonard fan he was hitting below with the Bolo punch Richard Steele was supposed to take points away but, didn't also he stole rounds by winning the 1st 30 seconds of the round and the last 30 seconds of the round. If that fight went 15 rounds he would have lost
