      Pet pigeons will always be linked to Tyson. If Hagler had pigeons also it's news to me.

            "Marvin Hagler's was a career carved out of discipline and dedication. When he was at his menacing peak as undisputed world middleweight champion, he trained in a remote beach hotel near Cape Cod. When his workouts were over, and it wasn't time to eat, sleep or study a video of himself in training or his opponent in a fight, it was said he sat for hours at his window, relentlessly contemplating the ocean."

            Peter Arnold (Lord of the Rings, 1998)

                I'm from Massachusetts and Hagler is my all-time favorite boxer (yeah, even over Rocky). The only thing I ever knew about his training routine was that he would go to Provincetown in the dead of winter to train. He holed up in a local hotel and wouldn't even allow his wife to visit him. He said it made him tougher and angrier. There are a lot of guys holding hands with each other in Provincetown, bet they didn't go near Marvelous Marvin.

                  I don't know it anyone remembers Doug DeWitt, but he was one of Haglers sparring partners when he was 16 to 17 yrs old. And he said Hagler trained even harder before he was Champion then when after he became champion. DeWitt stated that Hagler used to run with big heavy boots on, and that he ran at an amazing pace to have boots on. And in sparring sessions, eveyone got the same treatment even Robbie Sims his brother came out with a bloody nose or busted lip. Hagler would punish all his sparring partners. DeWitt even said Hagler would Chant out loud when doing roadwork in the pre-dawn hours on the beach like FULLY OBEL! GONNA CATCH HELL!! AT THE BELL!!!. Years later when DeWitt trained with Hagler during his reign, he said Hagler then ran in sneakers and not even at the same torrid pace as he did yrs earlier with heavy boots on. I guess the intensity he trained with took its toll on him later in his career.

                      anyway i guess he didnt like or trust white people at all for obvious reasons (untill he met goody petro and the team) and wasnt very athletic and didnt play basketball or football or anything and didnt have good shoes and or any guardians worth speaking of he didnt really go to school at all and boxing being a lonely sport i guess he stuck to the gym ...
