Former undisputed world middleweight champion Marvelous Marvin Hagler took his sentiments to social media and broadcasted his desire to see a Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Gennady Golovkin fight in September.

Boxing News 24 reported that the 61-year-old Hall of Famer believes that the pay-per-view king should face the current WBA and IBO middleweight champion for his supposed to be last fight before retirement this fall.

    It was not until Rickard’s efforts that the middle to upper class indulged themselves in the world of boxing, as boxing became legalized in some states due to a shift in public opinion. Rickard supported Jack Dempsey, and used a powerful gimmick to promote his fights. Dempsey had avoided military service, so Rickard exploited this fact by picking opponents who were decorated military officers or men of other races. Pitting fighters of opposite personalities or different races is a rational fight promotion tactic that is still heavily used in modern times. Connor McGregor’s brash, exuberant style of “trash talk” compared to Nate Diaz’s blunt, composed demeanor created so much buzz around their second fight that it was considered the modern day “Ali vs. Ferguson”.
