BROCKTON - The city of Brockton, also known as the "City of Champions," unveiled a new statue dedicated to "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler Thursday.

Hagler's family, friends and famous opponents were on hand for the statue's unveiling. The statue stands at a park on the newly named Marvelous Marvin Hagler Way, not from the gym where the Brockton native trained. At the base of the statue are life-like versions of his championship belts.

After training with the Petronelli Brothers, Hagler enjoyed the success that made him the undisputed middleweight champion of the world. The city hopes the statue will be an inspiration for park visitors.
