CANASTOTA, N.Y. (AP) - Former middleweight champion Marvelous Marvin Hagler and three men who won fame on the other side of the ropes were among the 15 inductees Wednesday to the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Boxing matchmaker Teddy Brenner, manager and trainer Gil Clancy and boxing commentator Don Dunphy headlined the largest class of non-participants to yet earn enshrinement in the four-year-old hall, executive director Edward Brophy said.

"It's like a dream to be included with the likes of such great champions as Muhammad Ali and Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson," Hagler said. Hagler dominated the middleweight division as champion from 1980 to 1987 and finished his career 62-3-2 with 52 knockouts.
