sorry to hear it, agreed, great boxer and a true gentleman.
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest Simon & Garfunkel

The above link includes a sub-link to the first round of the Hearns v Hagler match that remains one of the greatest single rounds of boxing in fight history for its blistering pace.

It was such a great fight and if it was a ppv one, it would have been worth the dollar amount for the 8 minutes.

He suceeded despite the establishment hating him and working against him from the Philly days to stealing the title from him at the end

If you were from the Boston area in the 80's, every Hagler fight was an event, he had the whole city behind him and pulling for him. I just saw that first round again today from that Hagler v Hearns fight and that was a slobberknocker classic indeed.

I found the full three-round fight on YouTube after posting just the first round last night here.
