The combat sports world is mourning the loss of former middleweight boxing champion Marvelous Marvin Hagler, who passed away on Saturday at his home in New Hampshire at just 66 years old. His impact on the sport is profound and his status as one of the all-time greats is unquestioned.
Hagler (62-3-2, 52 KOs) has a laundry list of impressive wins and impressive knockout victories against high-level opposition throughout his decorated career. The one that is etched into boxing lore is his eight minutes of fury versus the heavy-handed Thomas Hearns.
Back in the day, big boxing cards were not exclusively on Saturday night.
