    The 'fan club' page is / was Hagler. I used to follow him on there when I had facebook and he would make personal posts with pics.

    I'm not saying he's not dead, I am saying you don't know who had access to that twitter page. It's not like it's being reported by Boxing News or the Telegraph or something.

    No way. One of the few guys who are literally invincible.

    When I followed it was quite literally run by Hagler himself, uploading personal / non internet pics off his phone with badly spelt paragraphs, and interacting with fans in comments. It is likely legit news

    Yeah, I know that, but it could be posted by admin #1. Yeah, i understand he's probably dead, i'm just saying that if the Buckingham Palace twitter account announced the Queen's death you'd probably understand that there was a possibility that that tweet was tweeted by a lunatic rather than the Queen's undertaker. I'm just saying, being dead on Twitter isn't the same as being dead, if it was, Beyonce would have been ****ing dead 10 times by now.

    I understand he is probably dead.

    Oh God. I hope this isn't true.

    Hagler is one of my five all-time favourites. This is horrible news.
