Stephen A. and Max remember boxer 'Marvelous' Marvin Hagler | First Take 

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 still want to watch his fights against Earl the Worm Monroe and Boogaloo Watts

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.

Watch some of Hagler fights back in 70s especially his fight against Benny Bristol

@@alistairfannell6694 BRISCO,not bristle

@@digitaldollarsocialismishe9091 thanks

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?

I always thought that was an amazing quote. So true.

@@teem1653 yes. Look up Hagler Hernes

*wearing silk pajamas** was the quote actually

💪🏾

Facts when it’s a boxing segment they need to just have max do all the talking, he there definition of a boxing savant

Video should have cut off as soon as Stephen A opened his mouth

Notice how max never looks down upon sas for not knowing boxing

Me too.

@@BrotherKellerman true, and whenever Max says something that Stephen A. doesn't like "You shouldn't be allowed to talk about sports"

You know boxing then. He was incredible!

@@reasonforliving3174 seen a few of his fights, a great fighter

same here

You have good taste in boxers! He was absolutely incredible!

💯

Rest IN PEACE Rest in Power Wow !!!!!!

Rest in WAR

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.

That is 😎

I agree

THE best , fool.

The best!!!!!

@@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!!

Hagler wanted a rematch with Leonard in 88, but Leonard didn't want a rematch cause he knew would lose

@@danlivni2097 Leonard was the Mayweather of his day. Great, yes, but he spent too much time ducking the best in their prime. What he did to Hagler when he announced his first retirement was despicable.

@@danlivni2097 Oh, and let us never forget that Hagler won the first time, too.

@@wvu05 Leonard didn’t run as fast a MayRunner😭

@@wvu05 never gave people rematches when he won the first fight. Exception was Hearns, but he thought Hearns was shot by then.

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.

still cant believe marvelous died

@@irishscience580 after a c...jab. So says. Thomas Hearns.

How did he die??

@Discreetly Observing The Pfizer vaccine from America??

Hagler was better than Tyson...Hagler could do it all and he had a granite chin.....something Tyson did not have....

For sure!

@Cary Simmons I'd rank Bernard Hopkins ahead of Hagler too

@@rafaelvillegas2296 No way Hopkins was better than Hagler.

@@rafaelvillegas2296 Hagler destroys BHop and I'm a fan of both. He's not active enough per round. Hagler's pressure and chin is too much. Just watch how BHop against Calzaghe as an example.

Wasn't that, " No mas?" Or was that Sugar Ray?

@@dianahohimer1107 No mas was the second fight with Leonard..

@@jacobjones5269 A great and bizarre fight. Thanks

Duran was a better fighter pound for pound than hagler

Listen to your dad.

Hagler wanted a rematch with Leonard in 88, but Leonard didn't want a rematch cause he knew would lose

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.

@@GoGetYourShineboxPutting excuses to one side, Leonard was a very skilful fighter. Blessed with good footwork, lightning hand speed and fast reflexes. As much as I respect Hagler and Duran, Leonard had the advantage in speed and that's why he beat them. Angelo Dundee created a legend.

@@GoGetYourShinebox I respectfully disagree my fellow boxing fan ,in fact I mention the original encounter to validate a objective point . Many felt including Angelo Dundee that despite Leonard opening up the first match by fighting a emotional driven ,irrational bad tactic style ,against Duran that Leonard had eventually closed the Gap and had pulled off the match , barely ,but Duran captured the optic from the judges and many fans because he being the underdog and a legend also actually forced leonard into a tight , competitive fight in which Duran hurt the percieved Golden boy .Like the first Ali vs Frazier scenario there was no way the judges were going to annoit Duran the loser after he demonstrated the great icon was vulnerable ,could be hurt ,turned the match into a close contest ,Duran appeased the visual appetite of the judges with his early successful agression, while Leonard objectively speaking actually settled down to box instead of fighting , and began to dictate the course of action at certain stages of the bout .It was close ,but close typically goes to the champ, especially a made man, corporations endorsement machine icon like Leonard .Now in terms of the emmediate rematch ,Leonard's style was tailor made to confuse and defeat Duran regardless of the timing of the match ,Duran simply couldn't catch him ,and Leonard's explosive hand speed firmly cemented the styles terrible ,humbling mismatch .Even Bemitez who beat Duran with elite quickness and hand speed bothered and confused him. Leonard didn't allow himself to be suckered emotionally into fighting a inthe trenches war with Duran again, who was a astute legendary Craftsman at close encounters fighting .The very second Leonard opened up with his allusive Bob and weave tactic the rematch was essentially over with ,styles dictate who is a bad matchup against another style ,it took Duran to fight a obsolutely perfect fight in the first bout ,a psychological war that Duran being the willy veteran suckered Leonard into prefight by being utterly disrespectful to Leonard verbally,even blowing a kiss at Leonard's then wife .That mind game didn't have any effect thus once the ink dried on the contract for the rematch it was already a done deal ,Duran could have fought Leonard with a year to get in shape and he was going to get dominated ,his weakness once he moved up in weight classes was mobile ,quick ,fast hand slick boxers ie Leonard ,Benitez , even Tommy Hearns was in all actuality at that time a mobile fighter , with quick hands , especially a jab, but with crushing knockout power . The mobile quick hand guys were a obsolute terrible matchup for Duran ,it's the reason his bout with Marvelous Marvin Hagler was so competitive ,Hagler came right at Duran to engage in close proximity combat ,Hagler inthe end had too much hand arsenal ,power and hand quickness ,for Duran to substain being effective enough to win .Hagler stopped trying to outbox Duran and just said go and out punch him ,but Haglers style created a great match for Duran based on Durans strengths .The Leonard rematch was going to end in a bad way for Duran no matter what moment it transpired .

I implore you to watch sports century's documentary on Hagler. Good watch bro.

@@sd81a46 Definitely gonna check it out.

There was always an angle before Ray would agree to a fight

Leonard agreed to less money than Hagler so he could get 12 rounds and a larger boxing ring

@@paulkelly5715 And bigger gloves.

Hé better be hé gets paid big time

Totally 1000% agree.

Yeah he really looked like he was carved out of a rock. His head also looked like a rock.

@@sleazyfellow And he had a jaw of granite.

@@sleazyfellow vbjocan come

Without a doubt, he was an absolute badass

Tough as nails. The man was boxing personified.

@Mr. Elite mick foley is probably the toughest as in can take the most pain but hagler could probably knock him out cold

Doesn’t fit his narrative

GrainOfSalt Yup, he would get shut down real quick by ESPN Disney

Unfortunately these comments will get deleted

Because there’s probably no evidence of this and it’s very irresponsible to report rumors as news.

Don't forget about Max too

God 😭😭😭 what an absolute gem

And one of the greatest ever.

@@themanftheworld8439 one of those guys where someone says "hagler was the greatest of all time" and you think "yeah thats fair"

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.

@@alistairfannell6694 True!

Everyone knew that when Hagler stepped in the ring there was going to be a proper scrap.

They were both overshadowed!

He died one day after receiving Covid vaccine.

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...

Stop it. Y’all conspiracy theorists make me sick

@@vincegonzalez6804 you make me sick believing the government is your friend. THEYRE NOT

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.

Imagine believing this lmfao

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.

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?

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

his own wife said it wasn't the vaccine do your research before you comment on something you clearly didn't hve the information on.

@@chino_ftwdavid4557 Is his wife a doctor or scientist or something?

Don’t turn this mans death into political propaganda. America is whack af man have some respect for this great.

@@StickmanBILL233 Thank You. These are the same dumbasses that listen to health advise from fat people smh

@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.

Because it goes against their agenda and narrative. They're all bums who are controlled puppets.
