Agreed. Aside from Hagler's supreme boxing ability, what I always liked about him was HOW down-to-earth he was, NEVER an asshole towards his fans. I suppose that was due to him coming up the ranks without getting any breaks, yet he never bitched and whined about it, he just put in his work, as always. My friend and I saw Hagler-Hearns back at the old Boston Garden, and the intensity and fever pitch was SO great, it felt like the fight was live inside the Garden.
Hagler was a brawler, but he had very fast hands and great movement, one of my all time favorites. The worst thing for opponents was that when they did land, he seemed completely impervious to anything they hit him with and just kept on coming.
Hagler was no brawler, he possessed immense speed, power and a tight defence. His move from southpaw to orthodox was seamless and the gazelle punch fooled many world class fighters. Hagler was one of the greatest fighters of all time, no one who brawls can achieve that. Marciano fought from a crouch that Archie Moore thought was easy until he got in the ring Marvin Hagler would find a way to beat every middleweight he fought. He beat Leonard, I know Leonard and think he lost. He ducked no one and that alone elevates him to the very greatest of all time. He is coherent, modest and deserves recognition - to call him a brawler is an obscenity.
@@robertmcadam2216 I guess we have a different definition of a brawler, to me the term implies nothing against anyone's skill, it's just a fighting style Hagler came to fight, walk people down and take it to them.
I was at the fight. Hagler was a machine that night. Being from Massachusetts myself so i may be biased but Hagler was the GOAT. I remember a lot of British fans with their flags. They did get a surprise when they left. It was sunny when we went in and about 18 inches of snow when we left. It was nuts. Had to push cars out of the lots. Saw Hagler fight Scypion in Providence also. That was when tickets were reasonable, we paid $30 for each fight.
'Marvelous' Marvin Hagler was the GREATEST middleweight EVER! Regardless of era, Marvin would have beaten ANY middleweight before him or since. A master boxer and destructive fighter, his skill and power were the best the division had or has ever seen. A TRUE WORLD CHAMPION.
Hagler was magnificent in this fight, he boxed to perfection, brilliant defensively, Marvin fights so well off the back foot, Sibson was brave and did his best but on this night, Hagler was unstoppable and around this period, unbeatable! For me, this was Hagler's greatest performance.
Hagler, Duran, Hearns, Leonard, Arguello, to name a few, etc..and that is just a couple of divisions. What an era for boxing. It produced legendary A leaguers and great B leagers.
@@noelwhitman1788 And let's not forget Aaron Pryor Vicente Saldivar remember, Howard Winstone fought him in the 60s, and Liverpool's Alan Rudkin who I know never won a World Title but look at the fighters he had to face in his world title challenges, Fighting Harada, Lionel Rose and The Murderous punching Rueben Olivares! Christ, I could go on all day 🤣😂
@@stevebowness9435 Ha, yes. The list would be very long. Aaron Pryor was a beast in the ring. Underrated fighter. If you jump to heavyweights, you have Larry Holmes who is likely the most underrated heavyweight champ of all time. He is in my top 3
My god the greatest middleweight of all time greatest southpaw of all time a man who was not a natural lefty and really who trained harder enough said rip my champ love ya
This was when Marvin was at his very best.he looked great here.he'd have beaten Leonard easily, instead Leonard waited for Hagler to age,even though I still had Marvin beating Leonard giving Marvin 7 of the 12 rounds and he was the aggressor the whole fight.
Wow, that guy took a hell of a lot of punishment and just kept coming back for more. I got the feeling that the guy would have kept getting up. Fortunately, the ref saved him from more punishment.
Brave brave SibbO gave it his best here against the Peak! Marvin Hagler. Poor Tony a sitting duck at times but he came to fight and brought the fight to Marvin. But Hagler different level! 🥊
Sibson could look at himself and say he gave it his best shot! Marvin was just too good! RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler, the greatest fighter I’ve ever seen in my 52 years on this planet.
Wow , something I just noticed all these years later after round 5 bell rang Marvin seemed quite upset Tony got a few shots in . You can see at the start of the 6th Marvin turned it up . Tony Sibson might have beat most middleweights that night but not the marvelous one. Haglers punches stung and were deadly accurate . Great fight , great effort Tony 💪
@mikejacobs4727 "Tony Sibson might have beat most middleweights that night", you say. I could name 10 plus middleweights who would've beaten Sibson that night. I'm not knocking Sibson as he was a game, gutsy fighter but he was not special/truly world class. And he'd likely be the first to admit this.
Got damn I have a new found love and respect for the late great Marvin! That man could take a punch but damn he could give it...hat man was an incredible boxer!
Loved watching Tony's fights... He just didn't look after himself... I remember some who knew him then said he drank like a fish and was often extremely drunk on a weekend.. Put our city of Leicester on the map for a while
Nice touch by Hagler showing respect to Sibson at the end of the fight. And Sibson very gracious in defeat. deontay 'wiindmill' wilder, little adrien broner and anthony joshua - watch and hopefully learn.
@Ben Parkes Yeah...Hagler was always gracious after his fights. But I also saw the fight several times and Hagler kicked the shit out of Sibson...so its your mentally deficient comment that is irrelevant...
I’ve just noticed that the boxers that beat hagler he had a rematch with them and beat them. Except for sugar ray who he didn’t get a rematch with. He was never knocked out I don’t think . What a record . RIP marvellous Marvin hagler
I remember srl interview in ko magazine in eighties he said he was supposed to fight hagler 5 years earlier but knew hagler would beat him So waited until hagler had wars with hearns and mugabi and slowed down enough to make him beatable Quite honest from srl to be fair
Sibson was really only a light middleweight, sibson was a very game fighter & a true gentleman of the ring , but make no mistake he was as hard as nails
Marvelous Marvin Hagler. What more can you say. I'm trying to think of a fighter who could have beaten the Marvelous one in his prime and I can't think of anyone cause no one could have beaten him in his prime.
Most of Haglers fights had the same pathway.....rounds 1 and 2: feeling out....rounds 3-5: by the end of the 5th round everyone knew the end was coming soon for whoever he was fighting....
In my opinion the Hagler, Hearns, Duran and Leonard quartet, was the greatest quartet of legends to be around in the same division at the same time period........
Benitez, Duran, Leonard, Hagler and Hearns. It was 5 of them that fought each other. Benitez and Hagler never fought but Benitez lost his title to Sugar, a decision to Hearns and a win over Duran! it was the Fabulous 5 not 4 but 5
I respect all fighters, and Tony gives Britain class in the ring. However, that Chris Eubank Sr and that Herol Graham are stating in interviews that they could have beaten Hagler and that Hagler ducked them. LMAO!!!!! Lord Have Mercy! Why? Why? tell a lie like that? Why?
marvin very good but i think tony let nerves get the better of him in this one ! three weeks without sparring is to long ...think ray arcel and archie moore would have told him put him under more pressure i know it is easy to say of course.....marvin watching for tonys left hook......
Tony sibbo gave hagler one of his hardest fights of his career and hagler in my opinion is the GOAT middleweight of all time..i even think he was better than GGG and Canelo at that weight ?
@eddiegrimm9462 Full credit to Sibson for his courage, bravery and coming to fight here, but to say he "gave hagler one of his hardest fights of his career" is nonsense. This fight was a beatdown/one way traffic with Sibson barely laying a glove on Hagler.
@@hyena131 yeah i suppose you are correct but hagler did say that tony sibson and john mugabi were the two strongest he ever fought. he did give credit to sibbo

Yeah..if he wasn't constantly eating punches he might have won the fight.....lol..

Hagler was one of the greatest in his time. I would have love to see him and Hawk fight.
I liked Pryor a lot, but I doubt he could hang with Marvin for long, even with Panama Lewis in the corner
Sibson did way better than Leonard and Hearns and Duran. Respect. Minus stamina issues, he would’ve taken Marvelous into seriously deep water.
I don’t think there has been a better boxer since .
