In 1993 I was called to go to a particular city in New England (I would rather not say where) to spar with an up and coming contender (I would rather not say who) and I was picked up on a very busy street to be taken to the gym by a guy (I would definitely rather not say who) who was involved with the fighter... a guy that was also a reputed and feared mafia killer! I knew at the time he was a somebody but didn't realize how much of one until many years later when he was jailed in the federal pen for some serious crimes, murder being among them.
I remember while we were driving that day he said something to the effect that Marvin "Hagler was overrated and he had a questionable heart, too."
In my mind I was thinking, "HAGLER HAD QUESTIONABLE HEART??" I wanted to say, "Are you NUTS? Are you CRAZY? What would YOU know about HEART FOR FIGHTING?"
(I am very glad I didn't, believe me)
