Even the woke Guardian ignored his racism.

"It has taken me 17 years to become champion of the world. I’m not going to let a black man take it away from me."

Won world title but a average fighter. Christ, he and opponent in one fight were both disqualified for lack of effort.

Sad he's dead in the same way sad anyone is dead but nowhere near the fighter he's lauded as.

What's woke?

Apparently it's a word the kids use to describe those showing great awareness of social justice stuff, I've been told. Fits Guardian perfectly.

Hagler made him pay for his boasts and cut him to ribbons

Hagler was an awesome fighter. One of the best I've ever seen.

Not wishing to take anything away from Hagler as he destroyed Minter that night whichever way you view it....but Minter used to cut very easily.

I think he was toying with him and could have taken him out earlier

Minter lost the plot slightly early in the 2nd and was careless although I agree that Hagler could have finished it earlier.
A gumshield went missing and a lot of beer was wasted that night!!

Did minter, have bit part or extra roles

For some reason
