Week 60 Is for Marvelous

Hagler v. Hearns
(anything else would be un)civilized

Marvelous Marvin Hagler turns 52 this coming Tuesday (May 23, 2006) and we, at Rock Heals, take a moment to honor a man who gave so much and received so little in return.

So this week brings contributions from the two dudes who would be our official boxing correspondents if we had the budget to send them to fights on a regular basis -- Ric Royer and Kevin Thurston. Both have helped us carve out a space to enjoy the sweet science in this cruel cruel world. Let the work they share today helps you do the same.

And Marvelous, our hats are off to you -- we hope you are enjoying your retirement knowing the world has pulled its head out of its ass to realize you are one of the greatest to ever set foot in the ring. Happy birthday.
