1). Marvelous Marvin Hagler v Thomas "Hit Man" Hearns - This fight still ranks as the most brutal boxing match in history. Round 1 is written into boxing lore for its frenetic pace that left Hagler bloodied and Hearns with a broken right hand. Herans was decked in the third round and failed to beat the referee's count. Few could blame him. Bettmann Archive
2). Marvelous Marvin Hagler v Vito Antuofermo, June 13, 1981 - Hagler was not alone in thinking he had been robbed of victory during their first fight in 1979. He vowed not to leave the decision to the judges for his rematch against former champion Antuofermo. The Italian was knocked down in the third round before his corner stopped the bout to save their man any more punishment. Getty
3). Alan Minter v Marvelous Marvin Hagler, , September 27, 1980 - Hagler travelled to London to face middleweight champion Minter for his second title bout. The buildup was ugly, the tense atmosphere stoked further when Minter was quoted as saying that "No black man is going to take my title" (Minter would later insist he meant "that black man"). Minter's corner called the fight after Hagler had left their man with four deep cuts on his face inside three rounds. Getty
4). Marvelous Marvin Hagler v Roberto Duran, November 10, 1983 - Few fighters were as mean as Hagler, but if anyone could match up to him it was Duran. The Panamanian was stepping up in weight and went toe-to-toe with Hagler before a late flourish by the American was enough to earn him a unanimous decision. Duran was the first challenger to last the distance (15 rounds) with Hagler in a world-championship bout. Getty
