What a shock. Appalling that Marv's widow has to be diverted from her natural grief in order to strenuously refute false reports that Marv's passing was a consequence of receiving the COVID19 vaccine, a contention overshadowing the sad fact of Marv's passing in its own right. All I've read is that 66 YO Marvin was short of breath, experiencing chest pains and rushed to hospital as a result.

A guesstimate would be that it was a heart attack. Hagler vs Leonard. Pundits were polarized at to who won. I was rooting for Leonard simply because he was the underdog. IMO, it was very close but understand that Leonard's rallies were deliberately launched at the latter stage of every round to sway the judges. Meanwhile, Marv plodded forward landing none too flashy but point scoring punches nonetheless.

Win or lose, Leonard did fight a great fight and admitted he timed his challenge after observing clear decline in Marv vs Mugabi. In boxing terms, Hags aged badly during the course of the fight. He had also conceded to 12 rounds instead of 15 rounds, a smaller ring and, I think, larger gloves than normal. At any rate, many figured Marv would KO Leonard in about 4 rounds.

As if fitting the final piece to Leonard's jigsaw puzzle, Marv made a big mistake by trying to show he could outbox Leonard before stepping it up for the KO. After that folly, Ray built a lead and when Marv tried to step on the gas he found his own tank fast emptying. Still, divorcing oneself from "style" and remaining focused on the "substance" it is arguable that Marv possibly won the fight or deserved a draw at the least.

Another problem with objectivity in boxing is that fighters are often measured against themselves, in terms of the performance "expected" of them VS the performance they actually post. Many felt Hags was going to wipe Leonard in 4 rounds or so. Hags fell well short of that forecast but it doesn't necessarily mean he still didn't win the decision. On the flip side, Leonard probably got more credit than he deserved in terms of scoring due to the fact that he was the smaller man and coming off a very long layoff.

So measured against himself and what was expected of him, Leonard's performance was amazing which likely impaired the objectivity of many observers. Editor Rob. He is 5'9 now which means he was probably easy 5'9. There is absolutely zero chance that Hearns was ever even in prime 6 ft 3, 6 ft 4 or 6 ft 5. Yes, Hearns was around an inch or a small fraction less than Holyfield in his prime. Now, if celebheights have Holyfield at cm 6 ft 1. Please, lol! Though the official result was a draw, Ray now always refers to Tommy Hearns having won their second fight IMO, Tommy should've in fact been given the decision.

A rare concession in the world of boxing and a concession that I think meant a lot to Tommy. On par with that, Ali also admitted a few times that Norton won their rubber match, again, I agree with that.

Norton was jobbed badly. You'd almost believe it too the way he towered other Welters who averaged about 5'6" to 5'7" but even if he was just 6', he was already rocking a 5" to 6" advantage and he appeared extremely thin, though a powerful upper body, very weak legs.

I've noted that in most photos with Evander, Tommy is shorter. Perhaps not quite a full inch, but close to. So if Evander was 6'1", then Tommy was just a shade over 6 feet. MW Champ Carlos Monzon also used to be touted as 6'2" but was 5' Still very tall for a MW, at least back then. He used to tower most opposition also but outside the ring, amongst average sized guys, his height wasn't so noticeable.

I think with Rob, Ray looks good for a 5'9" listing.
