    The era of the heavyweights was in the 60s and 70s. Before and after, it was the middleweights you heard about. Hagler came along at the right time to be very famous.

    He was the best at left or right handed boxing I ever saw....he beat Sugar Ray in that last decision they robbed him of...walked away and never boxed again I don't think but man...he was in my view the most talented boxer I'd ever seen. I heard he'd retired to Northern Italy after that.

    Anti-vaxxers hijack boxing legend Marvin Hagler's death after rival Tommy Hearns said he was 'in ICU fighting after-effects of vaccine': Boxer's family says 66-year-old actually died of natural causes at home
    • Hagler held boxing's middleweight championship title between 1980 and 1987
    • His wife Kay announced his death on Saturday, saying death was 'unexpected'
    • Earlier on Saturday, Hearns said Hagler was in 'ICU fighting after effects of jab'
    • The claim has not been verified and his family have made no mention of this
