Tell me how good is Marvin Hagler's half brother Robbie Sims? What was Robbie Sims' height? What was his best fight?

Best fight probably his one round blow out of John Collins. Saw him spar with brother MMH and Robbie was a touch shorter.

Sims was a real toughie... overshadowed by his half-brother Marvin but a good fighter in his own right... the fight I remember most of his was his great brawl with Roberto Duran in mid-80s when Duran was coming back from his defeat to Hearns ...I think Duran deserved the decision but it went to Sims ....but it was a good fight. I think Sims also had some wars with iron-chinned Doug Dewitt!....

Thanks you guys. Silkov, if Hagler was 5'9 1/2 and Sims was a little bit shorter in height right?

If Sims is Hagler's real last name, then why he used his mother's maiden name? Any ideas?

Sims is not his real last name. His real name is Hagler. MMH and Robbie Sims are half-brothers, so I guess the surnames are from the two fathers. Hagler changed his first name legally to "Marvelous".
Mike Rossman used his mother's maiden name in the ring. His real name is Albert DiPiano.

Thank you crooked nose for telling me the answer. For Silkov what was Robbie Sims' height if he was a little bit short than his half-brother Marvelous Marvin Hagler?

Silkov just tell me about Robbie Sims' height for the hint that he is shorter than his famous half-brother "Marverlous" Marvin Hagler or tell me the answer, okay.

I wouldn't be demanding seriously or something like that.

Sorry Silkov maybe you are sleeping in another country, o well don't read what I wrote you might feel offended, but read up before that what was Robbie Sims' height. How tall was he actually? If Hagler was 5'9 1/2" what was Robbie Sims' height?
