A boxer must exercise and develop every part of his body.

Never eat less than four hours before boxing. Then eat only lightly.

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

If all human lives depended upon their usefulness - as might be judged by certain standards - there would be a sudden and terrific mortality in the world.

In youth, we get plenty of exercise through games and running around, but as middle life approaches, we settle down, literally and figuratively.

The man who has allowed his body to deteriorate cuts a pitiful figure - chest collapsed, stomach protruding.

Though I was not a belligerent kid, I do not think I ever passed up a good opportunity to fight.
