Marvin Hagler

“Even though the outcome wasn't the way it should have been, publicly I still feel in my heart I won the Sugar Ray Leonard fight.”

“It is a great feeling when you lay down at night, and you know there are little kids out there imitating you, and people want to know what you eat and when you go to sleep.”

“No one is the same after I fought them - Hearns, Duran, Leonard. All of them.”

“In some ways that fight gave me more respect around the world and helped me be even more popular because so many people felt my pain and saw that I was robbed.”

“Some fighters know when to stop on their own and go on to something else, and then some fighters have nothing to go back to after they are finished. Some fighters still have the burning fire and feel that they just need to try one more time. Few can do it.”

“Well, you can't trust most people in this game, period; it can be a very shady business.”

“I trained in Provincetown, Mass. Back then, they didn't have all the tourists on Cape Cod. Very isolated. Very good spot. I called it the jail. All you could do was train, run, walk, talk boxing.”
