37 Years Ago Marvin Hagler Reminded Us Of Who He Was

Marvin Hagler was born to be a fighter.

In every sense of the word possible, that’s who he was. A true fighter and survivor.

On the inside and outside.

He said it himself best perhaps one time:

“If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That’s all I am. I live it.”

This time 37 years ago he conveyed this to one unexpecting opponent:

Classic Hagler.

This month has been a terrible month really for anyone that loves boxing.

Hagler passing was like a piece of the sport’s soul passing.

Who was he?

A follower of God, a fighter, one of life’s great survivors and a man who stopped at nothing.

Gone but not forgotten. Rest in peace Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

Here is the full fight above, enjoy:
