One of the great middleweights in boxing history, Marvelous Marvin Hagler died Saturday at the age of 66. His wife, Kay, announced his death on the Facebook page for Hagler’s fans.
“I am sorry to make a very sad announcement,” she wrote. “Today unfortunately my beloved husband Marvelous Marvin passed away unexpectedly at his home here in New Hampshire. Our family requests that you respect our privacy during this difficult time.”
Hagler fought on boxing’s biggest stages against its biggest names, as he, Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas “The Hitman” Hearns, and Roberto Duran dominated the middleweight classes during an iconic golden age of boxing in the 1980s.
