Hagler started off his professional career in less than emphatic style, suffering 2 losses & a title-fight draw. All of this, however was soon to change...

With the utter destruction of Alan Minter in London, the Marvin Hagler reign of terror had begun. Over the next 6 years Hagler defended the title successfully on 13 occasions, taking on the very best boxing had to offer in the process. A 15 round superfight against boxing legend Roberto Duran, & the most explosive three rounds of boxing ever against Thomas Hearns solidified Hagler's reputation as one of the greatest fighters ever to grace a ring.

Never one to duck a fight, Hagler accepted another superfight challenge, this time from Sugar Ray Leonard, fresh out of retirement. A bitterly contested fight ensued, with neither man willing o give ground. After 12 rounds of superlative boxing, Leonard was awarded a close points decision, much to Hagler's disgust. Hagler promptly retired in protest, never to step back in the ring.

A fierce competitor, with a solid southpaw style & possibly the finest chin in living memory, Hagler is commonly remembered (along with Sugar Ray Robinson) as one of the two best middleweights of all time.
