Brutal and brooding Marvin Hagler was a true great who shone bright in boxing s golden era Away from the ring, middleweight legend endeared and entranced those who met him with his honesty and simplicity 14 March 2021 • 4:55pm Brutal and brooding, he remains one of the most durable fighters to step into a ring. He tested himself in a dynamic era involving three other legends of the sport, all of whom he fought: Thomas Hearns, Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard. They were the “Four Kings”. From the eight minutes of mayhem and violence in his defeat of Hearns - one of the greatest brawls of all time - to the victory over Duran, and the triumphs over Britain’s Alan Minter and Tony Sibson, Hagler has remained in the minds of many fans as one of the greatest and most adored of boxers.

Eight Minutes Of Fury

Eight Minutes Of Fury Author: There was a strong wind blowing through Las Vegas Monday night, but it could not sweep away the smell of raw violence as Marvelous Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns hammered at each other with a fury that spent itself only after Hearns had been saved by the protecting arms of referee Richard Steele. The fight in a ring set up on the tennis courts at Caesars Palace lasted only a second longer than eight minutes, but for those who saw it, the memory of its nonstop savagery will remain forever. Hagler s undisputed middleweight championship was at stake, and for the first time since he won it from Alan Minter in 1980, people had been questioning his ability to retain it. In the weeks leading up to the fight, Hagler fumed as the odds tilted back and forth before settling on the champion by the narrowest of margins. Hagler s pride was sorely stung, and a deep burning anger wrote his battle plan.
