    balding is genetic and about 50 percent of the population has it if I am correct. I have seen guys who start balding at 19 years old, but do not use steroids. I don't think Hagler used steroids. He worked hard in the gym.

    1970



    I read his trainers "In Their Corner" story. Hagler was a champion the minute he walked into the gym for the first time. He was different from everyone else in how serious he took it, and how much he trained, since day 1.

    His trainer said when someone would come to the gym, the trainer would ask them every single time: Why do you want to learn to box?

    He said he was always waiting for someone to walk in and say "Because I want to be champion". Hagler was that person.

    Well, I'm not ripped like Hagler was, but I still think he was very ripped and scary looking when he fought dude's like "Mintor, Lee, Scypion, Hamsho, Hearns, Mugabi and Leonard."

    MR.BILL:bbb

    I would say Kalule and Holyfield (cruiserweight) were even more cut. I've seen guys like that. not all that muscular, but extremely low bodyfat. like Bruce Lee maybe

    Bruce Lee was nutty as a bed bug by 1973 upon filming "Enter the Dragon." According to Lee's producer--Raymond Chow, Lee was on a bizarre diet to drop weight, but was also using a steroid substance during his weight training to add to his muscular tone... Lee was give or take 12 pounds lighter in 1973 compared to his early films of 1971 such as: "Fist of Fury" and "The Chinese Connection."

    Point is, Lee was juicing by 1972 / '73... His producer Raymond Chow stated that in a post Lee death interview in an old Kung Fu mag that I have tucked away for safe keeping...

    MR.BILL:bbb

    P.S.

    The Hagler who KO'd Scypion in '83 looked as ripped as he ever looked to me... Hagler was a beast... However, I still think he MIGHT'VE juiced in some form or another...

    Haglers body looked the same his whole career. When he first walked into Goody`s and started. He was an tireless hard worker. Spent his amateur career and pro at middle. Hagler didn`t cheat,even though given todays athlets thats hard to believe...

    What about Leonard then???? He looked like Popeye when i saw him work out at the Mirage in 89. Outrageous physique & Hearns & Steward both were of the opinion that Leonard was juicing:yep

    He looked pretty much as Hurricane Carter did, physique-wise, or Harold Johnson.
