The fight was a dominant performance by the "Hitman", who later called out Marvelous Marvin for a middleweight showdown.

Hagler died suddenly on Saturday, aged 66, leaving the boxing fraternity mourning the loss of a legend.

Bob Arum promoted an all-time classic between Hagler and Thomas Hearn - a fight which lasted just three rounds but got named as Fight of the Year in 1985.

Hagler had ruled the division from 1979, but was dethroned following a controversial defeat by Sugar Ray Leonard in April 1987.
