My favorite and the second best middleweight (160 lbs.) champion, next to Carlos Monzon, that I have seen in the past half century (50 years) in boxing is Marvin Hagler (62-3-2 / 52 by KO).

The greatest middleweight and “pound for pound” boxer EVER was Sugar Ray Robinson.

A southpaw, Hagler threw a lead right hand jab that was absolutely and unbelievably devastating. His round one with Thomas Hearns and round six with John Mugabi were highlight reels for every boxing fan.

An amazing fact is that, in 67 professional fights and not counting the slip in the Juan Roldan fight, Hagler was never knocked down, let alone, knocked out.

For boxing fans that weren’t around in the Hagler era – click on the video link below and enjoy the Marvelous one!
