Every fighter have a plan until he's been beaten

A champion doesn't become a champion in the ring, he's merely recognized in the ring. His “becoming” happens during his daily routine.

I can show you how to box. I can teach you every technique and trick I know, but I can never make you a fighter. That comes from inside, and it's something no one else can ever give you.

Money can't buy happiness, but it does quiet the nerves.

The whole damned country was depending on me.

If you gotta tell them who you are, you ain't nobody.
