And what do you know, there's an old shot of Hagler in there with hair - so old that he's not sure how he should be holding his hands up for a boxing pose.
He shaved it off while still an amateur around 73.
Interesting take on the early years for all four - first time Marv crossed paths with Ray Leonard, he was fighting as an unknown on a card that Ray headlined - Marv got $1000 while Ray got $50000. So unknown that his local paper refered to him as Marvin Nagler.
His opponent that night was....Roy Jones sr.

Re: Odd Marvin Hagler question
according to a tale my pappi used to tell me at bedtimes....
one day long ago he actually saw a lock from young Marvins head...it was found in a rickety old barn in Newark and was kept for many years in a battered old cigar case...until it was bought by a mysterious rich gentleman known only as 'Game Turkey'
maybe we should check this out
