Marvelous Marvin Hagler was an American professional boxer who competed from 1973 to 1987. He reigned as the undisputed champion of the middleweight division from 1980 to 1987, making twelve successful title defenses, all but one by knockout.

His undisputed middleweight championship reign of six years and seven months is the second-longest active reign of the 20th century.
