Marvelous Marvin Hagler's achievements place him among boxing's elite. He is one of only a handful of fighters to hold the undisputed middleweight championship for over six years, with twelve title defenses. His knockout percentage of 78% is the highest of any undisputed middleweight champion. The Ring magazine named him Fighter of the Year twice, and Boxing Illustrated called him Fighter of the Decade for the 1980s. BoxRec rates him the eighth greatest boxer of all time pound for pound. His 1985 war with Thomas Hearns is widely considered one of the greatest fights in history. Hagler's legacy as a relentless, iron-chinned warrior endures.
