‘Marvelous’ Marvin Hagler is no more. 12 successful title defenses, highest knockout percentage among all undisputed middleweight champions, Marvin ruled the middleweight division in the 1980s. The International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee died at the age of 66 (reason undisclosed) – his wife Kay took to social media to announce the news.
