It took Marvin Hagler years to get a title shot because every middleweight champ was seriously concerned about him....and once he did....he dominated the division and became one of ImaSportsphile's boxing legends during the golden age of boxing (1964 - 1995)
Stephane, you need to bookmark www.imasportsphile.com ....cuz we have spent the past month preparing 7000 more vintage videos for posting....with more MARVELLOUS
Lee tested positive for cocaine after just after the fight and later it came out that he had been smoking crack right up to the night before. This was not The Petronelli's or Marvin's fault. If any one is to blame it is Emmanuel Steward who knew this guy was in no condition to fight but needed a last minute replacement to keep his payday.
I remember that like it was yesterday. Also Alex Wallu refused to list Hagler as Marvelous although he used William Lee nickname Caveman therefore he changed his name legally.
Richard O'Brien, Hagler faught hard to get where he was and didn't need to move up to where everyone wanted to be, in his middle weight kingdom. He tamed a Beast(Mugabe) he annihilated a Caveman as you just saw, he hammered a Martillo(Roldan) and he went to war and Destroyed a Hitman (Hearns). So he took it easy on your boy Duran who gave a good fight , but was only good for a sparring session and was never a threat to his throne. So take a back seat where you belong.
The average boxing fan never sees what you described....for at Ima Sportsphile where we are currently posting 620 world championship fights from the golden age of boxing (1964 - 1995)....we consider Marvelous Marvin as one of the legends of boxing of this era.
Caveman Lee had knocked out something like 7 or 8 straight before this bout and was a legitimate challenger. Hagler and the Petronelli bros. had no idea about Lee's drug issue going into the bout.
We at ImaSportsphile webpage responsible for posting this video along with 2000+ others like it....are of the opinion thatHagler fought any and all legitimate challengers to his middleweight title during his day....he didn't avoid fighters until they were old like Chavez and Mayweather Jr.....and Lee was legit....but what is you source for the info regarding Marvelous and the Petronelli's knowing about the "drug issue"?
Thanks for posting. Great channel. I haven't seen the Braxton-Martin fight since watching it live. He was a beast at this time. Martin had just given Saad a great fight and Dwight just brutalized him. Martin showed a lot of guts to survive the 2nd. He had the bad luck to had to have fought Mustafa Muhammad, Saad and Braxton or he would have been a champion
Joe Darcy, you are more than welcome....for this channel on utube is just one of 20 channels that we use on utube as video weigh stations for our incredible vintage boxing library which includes 620 world championship fights from the golden age of boxing that we are posting on our webpage....where we already have fights posted featuring Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, Matthew Saad Muhammad and Dwight Muhammad Qawi...with so many more great fights to come
You know these Fighters nowadays think that their Champs nothing but chumps I'll tell you right now they wouldn't last five rounds with the marvelous one rest in peace champ
Truly a crime this man to fight 50 fights before being given a title shot. I read that his mangers had to get a lawyer to get threated to take wbc to court over it.
i cant even remember why i said that lol but ill tell you this ive compiled some of the finest & rarest music made mainly on small independent labels during the 50,s 60,s & early 70,s.ive covered 50s 60,s & early 70,s soul, 60,s & early 70,s funk,late 60s to mid 70s jazz funk fusion,50s 60s & early 70s blues,60s garage punk psych is my biggest list im getting to near 3000 gems on that one .i also cover rare live gigs like the wailers in 73 miles davis & many more any true music lover is most welcome.im always saerching & adding to these lists so if you subscribe to me your get my ongoing search for the finest talent.none of this music is played on pay to play fakes radio join me & get connected to the true sounds of the underground great post always great to watch hagler ...
We at ImaSportsphile have currently posted 100s of vintage world championship fights on our webpage where one of the opponents wasn't that special....so, in the 115 professional fights that Julio Cezar Chavez had....how many were specail!?!....maybe 7 or 8
Duran went up nearly 30 lbs. to give Hagler his most competitive fight--even dropping his hands in distain of his power. Hagler didn't have the balls to go up even half that wt. to challenge Braxton. Duran dominated the lightweight division more so than Hagler did the middleweight. Therefore, Duran is rated higher on most all time lists ( and rightfully so.)
Our incredible vintage boxing library at ImaSportsphile's webpage goes a long way in providing evidence of great boxers and their ability to move up in weight to fight....which more did for money than they did because of their true boxing weight. Hagler was a true middleweight and to say that he "didn't have the balls" is absolutely ludicrous.
Rich O'Brien,Marvin fought 50 bouts at middleweight before he got a title shot, so why should he moved up in weight after winning the title, it was time for him to start 'eating the fruits from his hard labour.
+ Ann-marie True! Don't know why this Hagler fight attracted so many haters but geez... he was denied a title shot for ages, and then when he did get one he was robbed (vs. Vito) and then finally won (British crowd threw bottles at him). And then you get trolls bitching about his opposition. I say Hagler earned it and it was time to enjoy it!
Too good for his own good......the only MARVELOUS MARVIN HAGLER

Quickest fight I've ever seen 🤣🤣🤣 Rest in peace, Marvin Hagler.
Really? Check out Mike Tyson vs Marvin Frazier
"we have seen Marvin halger in many instances destroy people but my goodness this was a show and a half"
Hagler: "and destroy"
Lol.
The MOST BEST EXPLOSIVE FIGHTER N US HISTORY I CANT STOP CRYING A STORY OF TRIUMPH 🏅 INSPIRATION STRUGGLE HOPES WE LOVE U MARVIN V.I.P.
Awesome material, thanks for the upload. This is gold.
Lee tested positive for cocaine after just after the fight and later it came out that he had been smoking crack right up to the night before. This was not The Petronelli's or Marvin's fault.

threerings134 seems to have been the way.

Who did Lee replace please?

Yes Sirrrrr, he single-handedly cleaned out the THICK middle weight division.
Wow man 15 seconds in Marvin Haglers defense is insanely underrated how he parryd and blocked all those shots then his insane power jab

We at ImaSportsphile agreed that Hagler's defense, much like Ali's was "insanely underrated"
@@rociosuastegui5673 Ali’s defense was anything but underrated
He is the greatest boxer of all time and only one hero. I believe. From South Korea.
You believe right 👍
Wow I was 5 years old in 82 watching this on channel 7, Hagler is still cold as hell yo !!!🥶😎
He just passed away :(

Thanks for the memories! Wow, look at the difference between a bodybuilder then and now? Holy steroids...
they took roids back then man trust me, I know.
Would have loved to see Hagler go up to light heavy to fight Dwight Qawi!
How bout Michael spinks or saad Muhammad?
I always wonder the same thing. Hagler vs Qawi.

Hagler vs Benitez would have been great!
