On Saturday, a sports world great left us way too soon. Longtime, middleweight boxing champion “Marvelous” Marvin Hagler passed away at the age of 66.
As CBS News reported:
“Marvelous” Marvin Hagler, one of the greatest middleweight fighters of all time and part of the legendary “Four Kings” of the 1980s, died Saturday. Hagler’s death sent shockwaves through the boxing world, but also brought out a slew of tributes from fans who watched him dominate the middleweight ranks as undisputed champion from 1980 to 1987, an incredible feat given the depth of the division at the time.
The report added that only a much-contested, ’87 loss to the great Sugar Ray Leonard “ended his reign as champion and snapped a 37-fight unbeaten streak.”
