BTW Marvin Haggler was from Brockton.
As was Rocky Marciano.
Hagler. Originally from Newark or Jersey City, but came up under the trainer Goody Petronelli in Brockton. Goody Petronelli was a friend of Rocky Marciano. Hagler and Petronelli’s nephew, Tony Petronelli were rising together, but Tony Petronelli peaked after losing a welterweight title fight to Wilfred Benitez in the mid 70s, while Hagler went all the way to the big time.
As was Rocky Marciano.
The only undefeated Heavy Weight.
BTW, I married my 2nd wife in Brockton. The Justice of the Peace had numerous photos behind his desk of Marciano.
Marvelous Marvin Hagler once went door-to-door in Brockton selling insurance to my ex-boss.
He declined...
