Marvin Hagler was a man of integrity. A man of honor. It was a thing of respect with this fella.
One can see why he loved the great country of Italy later in life. In terms of how he fought, improved himself and kindly helped any and all people. Where he could. A gentleman and a class act.
A very good fighter indeed this Hagler.
An all-round fundamentally good, God fearing human being. Without doubt, kicking it and chilling in heaven as we speak.

A great story has emerged from a boxing gym owner in Philadelphia on Hagler.
On how he balanced everything with justice and appropriate etiquette and actions. When called for on rare occasions. Even though a kind, humble man, one not to be messed with.
As a small few justifiably experienced in their lifetimes.
When they crossed him or harmed him or his family in any single way at all.
Great story here on one of his old rivals:
Very nice. Boxing was his job and he did it well.
What a fight that ensued after with Mugabi.

Hagler was a fair man. Good balance and judge of character in terms of discernment.
