Exclusive Interview With "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler

This interview is from ESPN. Marvin Hagler reflects on his November 10, 1983 title fight with Roberto Duran. Hagler was defending his middleweight title. Roberto Duran was and is my favorite fighter. Hagler is also one of my favorites and this was probably the only time I was looking for Hagler to lose. This was a great technical fight won by Hagler. I also posted a video of the fight in it's entirty. The 1980's was a great era for boxing, especially the middleweights, which, in addition to Hagler and Duran (Duran was actually a lightweight), included Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, former champions Vito Antuofermo and Alan Minter, and to a lesser degree but still hard fighting guys like John "The Beast' Mugabi, Mustafa Hamsho and Juan Roldan. It was a great time to be a boxing fan.
