Many complain of a chronic weariness that sleep will not banish. Their trouble is that too little blood is pumped through the body per minute; this sluggishness, permitting poisonous waste matter to accumulate in every cell, clogs the channels of energy.

The greatest fighter I ever saw

My own ambition in the ring had always been skillful boxing, speed and defense - on the order of Mike Gibbons.

Handball, swimming, running, jumping, basketball, and boxing were as much a part of me as breathing.

The way to know about championship quality is to learn from champions, and that I did; studying them with professional purpose during my time in the ring and from habitual interest afterward.

A boxer's diet should be low in fat and high in proteins and sugar. Therefore you should eat plenty of lean meat, milk, leafy vegetables, and fresh fruit and ice cream for sugar.

Exercise should be regarded as tribute to the heart.
