RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler

[Gomez Adams]

Marvin Hagler died aged 66. He was one of my favorite boxers. A real lean, mean, fighting machine. To this day, whenever I'm feeling tired, beat up and bad, I still say, "I feel like I've just gone 10 rounds with Marvin Hagler."

RIP Champ.

Ah shit man. 66? WTF?

 

[Gomez Adams]

No clue. The articles just say "died suddenly". There's no listed cause of death yet. But that's the thing with boxers - they spend most of their lives getting the hell beat out of themselves. I can't believe Ali lasted as long as he did.

Yeah. Head injuries are the worst and boxers get a plethora. I remember Marvelous Marvin's name. My boxing time ran more with Ali and Cosell.

My boxing time ran more with Ali and Cosell.

Before my time but I did watch the digitally remastered Ali-Frasier I the other day. It was quite something except for the idiots running their mouths in between each round.

 

[Gomez Adams]

Yeah, I watched some of that too.

And you're right: the windbags in between rounds trying to make themselves relevant is why I eventually turned it off.
