Marvin Hagler in 1980, he won the world boxing title.

of each other.
Ruth RaperGUEST
And that's what makes it so... great because like all of the best rivalries they're polar opposites like if you think of even Leonard and Hagler you got Leonard this golden boy beautiful smile could talk for days boxed like smooth and then you got Hagler this gruff

Ruth RaperGUEST
war like he did it the hard way like complete opposites and that's what made them so great and I feel like that's the same with these two they're so opposites they couldn't be more different if they tried and I just I'm just I want it to be announced now I want to know it's happening even then I'll be a little bit nervous to be honest
