I feel like this was a boxing match where one of the boxers does all the training and lifting weights while the other fighter just waits until the day of the fight and gets a lucky punch.

Sugar Ray Leonard

Boxing should focus on pitting champion versus champion - those are the fights that everyone wants to see. The sports also needs to work on developing new heroes and personalities.

Your brothers are here too.

Seve Ballesteros

My intention is to compete until I'm 54. So if I join the Champions Tour, it will only be for four years - no more than that. I'm in the golf course design business. This is my future.
