Joe Rogan | Marvin Hagler's Italian Movie Career

Yeah. That's a good thing. It's mostly bullshit. Well, you had Tyson on. Yeah. And it was interesting that he didn't want to go back to it. Do you know Marvin Hagler has the same problem? Oh yeah. Well, he was the only guy that ever just quit at the top. But he won't punch a bag or anything because that thing comes up in him where he wants to do it again. It's like an addiction. And he's got to be 60 now. It's still welling up inside of him. I respect him so much. You know, I always looked up to him when I was fighting because I remember the discipline that that guy had. Like I remember watching videos of him. He was living on the Cape. He would do his training camp in the Cape and he would run and he was running on the sand. The boots. Yeah. With combat boots on. Yeah. And he was yelling war. He was like getting ready to fight Mustafa Hamsho and he's running in shadow boxing and he's yelling war. And I'm like, could you imagine if you had to fight that fucking guy when he was the middleweight champ in the world. First of all, he was chiseled like he was sculpted out of bronze. Like he didn't even look like a, I mean, he was, he was so jacked for a boxer. When you think about like most boxers, they didn't have that kind of physique. His physique was like almost like a gymnast, you know, when he was in his prime and he just was so disciplined and so far and then beat the fuck out of everybody and then lost that one very controversial fight to sugar. I was at that fight. Yeah. And then he was like, that's it. See ya. I've had enough. Went to Italy. He became a fucking movie star, which is crazy. He's apparently, I mean, I've never seen an Italian movie with marvelous Marvin Hagler in it. Nobody has. I think they have in Italy. I think it's a myth. It might be a myth. Well, sure. No, can you see him? The rumor was always that he threw the fight with Leonard, that he could have KO'd Leonard, but he did. All you had to do is let Leonard go to a decision. You would lose that decision. They pay him a boatload of cash and he goes to Italy. What is this? I'll tell you what. That's Marvin Hagler in a movie? Yeah, I don't know. I just touched on this before. Oh, really? Oh, he is in a movie. I've never seen that. Jesus Christ. Oh, that's a long time ago because he looks really young back then. Oh my God. He is in one. India too. No one's ever seen those movies. Wow. So this is an Italian movie. Well, you know, they made all those Spaghetti Westerns with Clint Eastwood. They did all those movies in Italy. Oh my God. Isn't that something? Those movies, those- Good job. Look at you. Look at he's shooting everybody. Oh yeah. Jesus, he's an action star. That's hilarious. I wonder, well, he's still jacked in that movie, so he must have been doing some kind of exercising. Look at him. Oh my God. He's punching people. Jesus Christ. They're flying through the air. So, India, it looks like, oh, this is so hilarious. This is so hilarious. So now, you know, when you do a movie and the guy hits you, you're supposed to move your head so that he's not actually hitting you. And I hope Marvin knew that. Oh, I'm sure he had. Because he, thank God, he pulled the punch. I did a movie in Boston called Southie with a guy throws me in a dumpster and kills me, right? And they had to do it over and over. Oh, God. And the guy just got out of Walpole to state penitentiary. I'm not going to mention his name, but he's the director now out here, as a matter of fact. I said, hey, do you know this is a fucking movie? You know, because he's firing the fight, you know, the shot, the starter's pistol, and he kept throwing me over. That guy is in everything. Brian Dennehy. This one's 1989. Yeah. India won. So, 89 was probably just a few years after he retired. Look at that. I feel like he retired somewhere around 86, 87. When did he fight Leonard? What an error that was. Oh, it was amazing. We used to watch, remember you'd go to see closed circuit fights? We'd go to a theater and you'd watch it on a big screen, closed circuit? I can't tell you how many I got so ripped off because you had Tyson on. I remember driving. I was out here to go to this big fight. 50 bucks, and I walked in and Tyson knocked him out in the first round. That was all that ever happened. People were trying to figure out if it was worth it. Yeah. Yeah, but it was, it's, what did it say? 87. Interesting. Oh my God. Yeah. And that was it. He's like, I'm done. So, that was only two years after he retired. He was doing movies. But the pull up, John the Beast Mugabe. Mugabe. Marvin Hagler versus John the Beast Mugabe. Did Marvin have hair for Mugabe? No. I remember seeing Marvin with hair at the gardens. What? Yeah. Did he grow it out for a goof? No, he had a hard head. Really? His career? He had a really fucking hard, he had an extra inch of skull or something they were saying. No, it was the side temples. Is that what it was? He has these giant temple muscles. They said he was almost like built with headgear. His head Mugabe? Yeah. Mugabe was a murderous puncher. No, that's Thomas Hearns. No, that's the voice of Thomas Hearns. That's the voice of Thomas Hearns. That's Mugabe for sure. Mugabe, he hit Marvin Hagler with an uppercut and snapped his head back. And this was an uppercut that he was knocking everybody out. But non-Marvin, Marvin took a punch better than anybody. He said the fight only started when he started the play. I think Juan Roldan was the only guy that ever knocked Marvin down, but it wasn't a real knockdown. It was a trip. And they counted it as a knockdown. He was a tremendous fighter. Look at how inside, look at how he gets inside. But so was Mugabe. Mugabe was a murderous puncher man. Oh, wow. He was knocking everybody out. He knocked out Terry Norris. He knocked people out dead. Like you would hit them and they would go flying, but not Marvin. Jesus Christ. Marvin stood right in front of him and eventually KO'd him. And then Mugabe was never the same again. Once you realize that this motherfucker could stand right in front of him, beat the shit out of him. What does this referee stop? What is he doing? I don't know what's going on there. That's Mill Lane. Hey, now that we have a break in the action, I'd like to plug my movie, Sweeney Killing Sweeney. Yeah, middle of March. We talked about it. It's coming out. I want to plug it again. We'll plug it. We'll plug the shit out of it. When it comes out, we'll put it on Twitter. All right, buddy. I appreciate that. But that guy Marvin Haggar was to me, he was the epitome of discipline. I thought about a disciplined fighter. It was him. Always in shape. Always ready to go. And then the discipline to never come back. That was amazing too to me. I respected the fuck out of that. Because fighters never know when to leave. He knew when to leave. And to this day, I saw him in an interview recently. He's fine. Talks completely normal.
