Marvin Hagler was born in Newark, N.J. 23rd May 1954. Hagler lost early in his career to Bobby Watts and Willie Monroe, but eventually knocked out both men in rematches. After those losses he went undefeated from 1976 to 1987, a span of 37 fights, defeating Bennie Briscoe and knocking out Kevin Finnegan twice. November 30th 1979 he challenged Vito Antuofermo for the world middleweight championship but was held to a draw. On September 27th 1980, he met Antuofermo’s conqueror, Alan Minter, for the world crown in London, this time winning his title by a 3rd round K.O. He defended the title 12 times, once by decision over Roberto Duran and eleven times by K.O. Among his victims in title bouts were Antuofermo, Tony Sibson, Mustafa Hamsho and John Mugabi. His April 15th 1985, K.O of Thomas Hearns in Las Vegas is a boxing classic. He lost the title on a very close split decision to Sugar Ray Leonard on April 6th 1987, and retired. He moved to Milan, Italy, where he became a film actor.
