MIND

Money won’t help you very much if you wanna find true love
But that don’t mean just being poor will make you better off”

*Don’t be a martyr. All things equal, go for the money. Don’t strive to be poor – you won’t be able to help anyone, most importantly yourself. Strive to be rich and then give it all away if you truly want to be poor. Listen to Hank Williams, Jr. for motivation.

Marvin Hagler 1954 (d. 2021)

A typical training camp for Hagler saw him training 6 days a week with double sessions a day. Hagler woke up early in the morning and began his roadwork at 7am, running 6 miles. []

After his run, Hagler was back for breakfast — “cold cereal and fruit, maybe a mixture of Corn Flakes and Sugar Pops, a pear and a glass of grapefruit juice” — and spent the rest of the day relaxing (“listening to music, reading, eating, writing letters, talking on the telephone, watching television or sleeping”) before his next training session. []

At 6pm, it was time for more training; a 2-hour session focused on boxing work and strength & conditioning: several 3-minute rounds on the jump rope, heavy bag and speed bag, with a 1-minute rest in between. The same routine applied to sit-ups – three minutes work, one minute of rest. []
