Hagler thought all he had to do was `turn up and knock him out`yet he was beaten to the punch, laughed at, bolo-punched and made to look very ordinary by Sugar Ray Leonard.. now 23yrs on most boxing fans admit that Leonard was the winner, but how bad did losing that fight hurt Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

Hagler was on the verge of retiring before he even fought leonard
I dunno if it hurt his career but emotionally he wanted to beat him and he didnt

Hagler went into seclusion for months after the fight and wouldn't be seen or heard from again until his wife went to court to get a restraining order against him after he allegedly abused her.She also claimed that he had cried over the loss and that he had become addicted to ******* and alcohol.
I'd say it hurt him very much.Last edited by Snopkins; 04-03-2010, 09:31 AM.
