for those who care, here's my column on Hagler (which includes a section about his time visiting the Hurricanes and Jimmy Johnson).. https://snac.com/blogs/k-9-kims-corner/a-year-later-rip-marvelous-marvin-hagler

the joke was for a time that Johnny Gill's national anthems were longer than Tyson's fights I remember the summer before my senior year in high school, I was bummed out because we had baseball game on the night Tyson faced Carl 'the Truth' Williams. The coaches knew I wanted to watch the fight...

Ive often said it's the 'JFK assassination' fight. There's a belief that everyone in America knows exactly where they were and what they were doing when JFK was shot in Dallas. To me, this is the boxing version of it This fight ended up in Japan because Tyson was mowing down guys so quickly and...

LOL, well that's a loaded question for me, given that Im a Hagler homer. It's like asking me who the greatest WR is/was in Miami history -- my answer will always be Michael Jerome Irvin. That will never change, bottom line I thought he edged it. But I still wonder why he fought orthodox the...

yes, one judge did, the other had Buster head, the other even. So at that point it was a draw

yeah, that era with Hitman, Marvelous, Sugar and the Hands of Stone was incredible Speaking of Hagler-Hearns, I know Al Golden(Yeah, I know, I know, lol) actually showed that fight to our team before the 2011 Ohio St game. I recall 'Raising Canes' doing a feature on it...

Today is the one-year anniversary of the sudden and unexpected passing of the great Marvelous Marvin Hagler. It got me thinking about this pic which I have attached Jimmy Johnson was/is a huge boxing fan, in the mid-80's he actually brought in the great Hagler to the campus and spoke with the...
