He learned to be ambidextrous as a teenager when he first started boxing. He was right handed but, found the southpaw stance more comfortable so could use both.
I think vs Hearns he didn't have to turn brawler, I think he wanted to. I think Hearns had to pay for all those comments he made leading up to the fight. Most fighters dismiss all that stuff, but Marvin always took it to heart.
Might make a mini series about these misconceptions. I'll be sure to include Ray Leonard was not a dancer! Also, disprove all that Joe Frazier used was the left hook and disprove Thomas Hearns had a glass jaw.
I hope you do.
Too many knockout highlight reels, I enjoy videos of Marquez's combinations, Locche/Pea/Toney defences etc.

This would be awesome. And the Hagler video was a great watch.
