'''Mickey Goodwin''' (September 1, 1958 – March 3, 2009) was a  [Light heavyweight](/source/Light_heavyweight) boxer trained by [Emanuel Steward](/source/Emanuel_Steward) at the famed [Kronk Gym](/source/Kronk_Gym) in [Detroit, Michigan](/source/Detroit).

Goodwin trained under Steward at the Kronk Gym during the same years [Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns](/source/Thomas_Hearns) was training. After starting his career with 29 wins (18 knock outs) and 1 loss, Steward announced on January 5, 1982, he had arranged a fight for Goodwin against [Marvin Hagler](/source/Marvin_Hagler) in Italy on March 6, 1982. Goodwin broke his hand during training and was replaced with [William "Caveman" Lee](/source/William_%22Caveman%22_Lee), never again getting a chance for a title fight, despite finishing his career 40-2-1.<ref>{{cite web|last=Ziomek |first=Karl |url=http://www.thenewsherald.com/articles/2009/03/11/news/doc49b6b28863f69345989623.txt?viewmode=fullstory |title=KARL ZIOMEK: Mickey Goodwin's punch was worthy of a world title |publisher=thenewsherald.com |date= |access-date=2013-12-03}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=3951422 |title=Former boxer Mickey Goodwin dies of stroke - ESPN |publisher=[ESPN](/source/ESPN) |date=2009-03-04 |access-date=2013-12-03}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5Og2QwoAgKoC&q=Mickey+Goodwin&pg=PA330 |title=Four Kings: Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran and the Last Great Era of Boxing - George Kimball - Google Books |date= October 2008|isbn=9781590132777 |access-date=2013-12-03|last1=Kimball |first1=George }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=t24iAAAAIBAJ&pg=5752,837557&dq=mickey-goodwin&hl=en|title=Goodwin Dropped|agency= Associated Press|publisher=The Argus-Press|date=January 5, 1982|access-date=December 3, 2013}}</ref>
