Sad news that an all time great has passed away at the age off 66.

RIP champ

Just seen this on the news....

RIP to a TRUE boxing Legend

R.I.P champ.

The word legend is often overused but not in this case.

One of the all time greats taken far to young.

God bless Marvin

I can only echo previous posters !

RIP to a legit Legend!

Shocked at the news

My first and all time boxing hero. Fck man, Im gutted.

he could box, he could brawl, he had power, speed, chin, stamina, he could beat you inside or out, dude was one of the most complete fighters ever

though i genuinely think srl beat him fair

Terrible news. An ATG taken far too young. RIP champ

Sad sad news,another childhood hero gone,amazing memories of one of the middleweight greats
R.I.P. champ

RIP. He had tonnes of fans. He was boxing. He wore the same burgundy robe on his debut as he did v Sugar Ray. Same weight for 20 years all year round. Scraped his way to the top and stayed there. Most consistent fighter ever. Will be sadly missed

what can you say? Devastating news. No point listing his achievements. He was a beast. Far too young. RIP Champ. Thank you.

Shocked.

An absolute superstar, the fighters fighter. Earned his title shots the hard way and worked his arse off to stay champion. Totally respected by anyone who isn't a moron.

Sad news but leaves a great legacy. RIP.

Brilliant fighter who really did have everything. RIP

RIP far too young to go.

Any news on the cause. He seemed to be in great nick.

RIP

RIP

Shocking news that.

An absolute complete box/fighter, seemingly indestructible, who lived, breathed and ate the sport. A genuine ATG.

RIP

Terrible news. Way too young. Amongst the greatest of all time.

Very sad news this! Way too young.

66

RIP

RIP .. I'm not now and never have been one to hero worship , But this guy was the one i come close too , or has close has i ever would , he was / is my absolute favorite fighter of all time .. RIP Marvelous one .

RIP champ

Joe Frazier once told Marvin that he had three strikes against him: he was black, a southpaw and he was good. Marvin paid his dues to win the undisputed world middleweight title and what a champion he turned out to be. He bossed the division for seven years against the very best. Then, he had the guts to walk away after the Sugar Ray Leonard shocker in April 1987, when he got his tactics all wrong. Leonard wound up humiliating himself against the likes of Terry Norris and Hector Camacho. Hagler was never humiliated as a fighter. His legacy is safe, his legacy gets better and better.

Ironic that this thread is in the British section when you guys threw beer bottles at him for beating Alan Minter.

“Sitting here now today, I can forgive a lot of the English people because it only takes a hand full of bad people to do something stupid like that and it can make the whole country look bad”
