    Sadly he is paying the price for that now...

    Marvin Hagler had a granite jaw.
    I forgot about him. I've seen some of his old fights man was tough as hell.

    I seen him at the first Vasquez v. Marquez fight, he had a beautifull girl with him. He did react nicly when the crowd noticed him and cheered and yelled, "Bobby Chacon!" A few people got a picture taken with him and autograph, he had ringsided seats but when he left he went through the stairs, and people instantly noticed him.

      Very tough guy no doubt! But also had some very nice boxing skills, but man he had power in his hands, one of the great right hands i've seen along with Chavez .

            correction he was basically blind all he could see was shadows because he had carat in his gd eye which hurt his vision alot then he ended up completely blind when he retired.
            He saw shadows so basically he was blind.

                  the late julian letterlough. he was definetly not the greatest fighter, just a tough club fighter with an exciting style. on top of his boxing career the guy was working in factories, and taking fights on 2 day notice. he would go down from the punch but would always get up and find ways to deck the other guy.

                  here's a quote from him

                  “My goal is to beat everyone they put in front of me. My goal is to be the world champion I know I can be. My goal is to knock out the bums who are knocking out the soon-to-be bums, the Roy Joneses who wouldn’t fight me a few years ago. My goal is to make money to support my family and to stay busy.
