Marvelous Marvin Hagler

Marvelous Marvin Hagler, born Marvin Nathaniel Hagler in 1954, was an American professional boxer who fought from 1973 to 1987. He was undisputed middleweight champion from 1980 to 1987 and made twelve successful defenses, all but one by knockout, which gives him the highest knockout percentage among undisputed middleweight champions. He legally added Marvelous to his name in 1982 after announcers left it out. He was twice Fighter of the Year for The Ring and the Boxing Writers Association of America, and entered the International Boxing Hall of Fame. He was knocked down only once in his professional career.
