MARVELOUS MARVIN HAGLER is a man who paid his dues. The rugged middleweight fought the toughest middleweights in the world for years before he was given the opportunity to fight for a world title. Hagler was finally given a title shot by champion Vito Antuofermo in 1979 but the two combatants fought to a draw. Hagler would make 12 successful title defenses. Among his victims were Antuofermo, Mustafa Hamsho, Roberto Duran, Juan Roldan, John "The Beast" Mugabi, and Thomas Hearns. His thrilling three-round shootout with Hearns is regarded as one of the best fights of all-time.
