Is this strange **** true about Marvin Hagler?

[Fordabckup]

I read somewhere that Marvin was a loner growing up, and that he felt only animals could understand him! He loved animals and when he was growing up he spent all of his free time with animals, is this true?

Have you heard that he started boxing in his early teens only because he hated the world so much and needed to let out his aggression?

Also, is it true that as an amateur he always gave his birthdate as 23rd May 1952? But whilst world champion he produced a birth certificate which stated he was born on 23rd May 1954? He apparently lost to Tony Licata at the 1969 Golden Gloves on his 15th birthday (but everybody thought he was 17), he shouldn't of been able to compete in Golden Gloves below 17 but faked his birthdate. Another strange thing to come from that was that Licata had apparently had a prizefight the previous afternoon under the name Tony Gardner, and to make matters even more confusing Licata had fought Tony Gardner at the Golden Gloves the day previous!

I even heard that Marvin himself doesn't truly know when he was born!?

Does anybody else have any more info on any of these matters?

well if he was a loner growing up and hated everybody so thats why he started boxing it would explain somewhat why he was such a monster in the ring and retired because of the SRL fight cause he hated the media and all the people goobling up everything SRL said and robbed him of the descions (in some peeps eyes)

Apparently there was a piece about Hagler once where they showed him with his pet pigeons, and he said he loved them, and added something like that he goes up on the roof to be alone with his pigeons when the world doesn't make sense.

This is Mike Tyson you're talking about.

This is Mike Tyson you're talking about.

This forum is fantastic. You can talk about any topic possible, it will always end up being a Tyson thread! This forum is affected by what i would call "the Tyson black hole". Everything converges to the emptiness of Mike Tyson ...
