Someone educate me on Hagler

[Butt stuff]

All these polite Brits launched a barrage of beer bottles at Hagler. A shameful display by British Boxing Fans!

Yeah it was terrible, they were incredibly racist to Hagler along with a racist remark from Minter himself. Unfortunately British boxing attracts a lot of meathead casual fans.

Thankfully Hagler showed them he wasn’t the type of guy to **** with.

Oh man, since the *** movement, so much more has come to light about how White Brits treated ********** in the UK, especially the authorities.

If you aren't in the UK, try and watch a series called 'Small Axe'. I thought it was great.

Also, recently I heard an interview with a woman who moved from Jamaica to the UK to be a TV Journalist but when she appeared on TV in the 60's (I think), the BBC got loads of complaints just because she was black. She was going an interview with a White guy about white and black people swimming. SMH.

He has much better resume than Canelo, lol.

What wins, other than the ones I mentioned, are really that noteworthy? Hyping up guys like Alan Minter, I mean lol man. Watch some film on some of those guys.

Oh no, what a complete travesty. This is worse than the Holocaust.

So she moved from her predominantly black country to a predominantly white country, to get a better job, and some of the natives complained about her being black?

I wonder what would happen if a white woman moved to Kenya to be a reporter? I wonder if some of the natives would complain about a white woman being a reporter in their predominantly black country?

How sad it must be to see victimization everywhere lol.

Read this book Four Kings, it's awesome and gives context to why all of these guys were so great.

In addition to that one, each of them have their own biography with Leonard and Duran having autobiographies. I have the Duran and Hearns other books on kindle. The hearns bio was taking too long to drop so I just bought the kindle version. The Sorcery At Caesars is about the Leonard /hagler fight. I had no idea that Marvin had a coke problem in his career lol.

I read this back in high school.....stole it from the library 😂

I stole it from a University library as well.

You could try to slight Marvelous by bringing up some early losses he had as well. But he was a guy who kind of learned on the job as a pro and improved presumably a great deal since those early asterisks.

No you couldn’t. He avenged both losses decisively.

...winning a rematch doesn't take away the first loss. Lennox's losses to Rahman and McCall for example still exist. Losses still count against a guy even if they win the rematch.

Completely different circumstances.

Lennox got iced, Hagler lost close and disputable decisions.
