THE BEST EVER-THE LETTER "H"

This is an absolutely loaded class. Greats including Fighting Harada, Evander Holyfield, Larry Holmes, Tommy Hearns and Bernard Hopkins.

But Ring.com's choice? http://www.ringtv.com/blog/2231/the_best_of_all_time_a_to_z_hagler/

The Marvelous one himself.

A dozen defenses, eleven against top five guys, eleven wins by KO.

The warriors's warrior and in my view the correct choice.

Here's a wonderful article written by the great Pat Putnam two years before Hagler would get a title shot.

Good pick. H seems to be a very formidable letter and Hagler is very deserving of the honors. What about the letter "I?" Maybe it's too early in the morning but I can't think of anyone.

hagler is a good choice. he is who i would have picked. hearns is probably a close second for me.

My guess is they sort of cheat and go with Richard Ihetu (Dick Tiger).

Like Frank said, a formidable group of fighters. I might have Fighting Harada just ahead of the Hitman.

My idol growing up.Hats off to Marvin Nathaniel Hagler.

Thanks for the SI article Marble.I find it amazing they were paying more money to Hagler's opponents than Marvin himself just to get them in the ring with him.I'll never forget the night he tore into Minter and Marvin saying before the fight that he was bringing the title back to Brockton with him.

Looks like they're going to have to do that. I can't even think of somebody who challenged for the title with a name that starts with an "I."
