It turns out, Marvin died from effects of the vaccine!!

It took quite a while before Marvin got his shot at the crown, *supposedly* because he did not want to play ball with all the wrong people.

Anyway, he did have an 8 year run holding the championship, which is very rare, but he also had an 11 year run of being undefeated.

Whooo. May he rest in peace.

Not everyone agrees with Tommy Hearns on this.

They sound more like heart attack symptoms to me.

So the whole issue is as clear as mud, eh? 😳 😠

If it is the case where he died of effects of the vax, I can see why they would want to cover it up.
As the article pointed out, the deaths of other sports legend elders like Hank Aaron and Leon Spinks already have people leery

The problem is that by the time you are vaccinating tens of millions of people the odds that one of the people you vaccinate was close to death anyway become very short, if not odds on, so you need a significant number and pattern of deaths to conclude anything.

@Relentless-Red

I can agree with that, Red. Which leaves it all as inconclusive. And it overshadows the veneration of a good man.

Here's a page from Snopes, which says that "Hagler died of COVID" is false.

And so much for the story pushed by anti-vaxxers, the Hank Aaron story is false too.
