    Hagler used to train like Marciano did when he was champ in the 1950's...lock yourself away from the outside world....go into isolation...and work your ass off. Marvin used to hide away on Cape Cod...no distractions...run along the sand dunes...and he always got himself in top shape....no shortcuts like using 'roids...

    Hagler is the product of incredibly hard work, and a belief in himself to think big ! He first went in to Goody`s gym and just watched for a couple of days. Finally Goody says to him, hey what are you up for ? Hagler says, `I wanna learn how to box man`. After that, Goody said he never saw ANYONE work like Hagler, first to come last to leave, no socializing. Goody said right away Hagler thought BIG ! He would be hitting the bag and say to Goody, ` man I`m gonna be middleweight champ some day` . Goody would smile politely and say, yes and I`ll be your trainer when you do... Marvin did it the right way, no shortcuts. In either his workouts or in who he fought, he beat all the beasts in the division. Even going to Philly and fighting the` Worm`, Boogaloo`, `Cyclone`, and Bad Bennie. He earned everyone of his props...
