sports boxing hitting
There's more to boxing than hitting. There's not getting hit, for instance.
successful guy trying
Don't try to reinvent the wheel. Just learn from the guys who have already done it well. You need a mentor, a seasoned coach who is willing to share his wisdom and experience with you. Ask someone who has already been successful to guide you.
boxing guy ears
There ain't nothing like being in the corner, and the trainer is whispering in your ear and another guy is putting in your mouthpiece. Five seconds to go, the boom! The bell. It's more exciting than looking down a cliff.
fighting men eight
There's never been a boxer better than Joe Louis. You'd take one shot from him and you were sure he'd have seven or eight more coming for you. Certainly Muhammad Ali was the greatest man ever to fight, but not the greatest boxer.
giving people needs
Sometimes God gives instructions that go against conventional wisdom, such as treating people kindly when they're hateful. Who really wants to do that? Instructions like that my not always make sense, so that's why I need to trust and obey the One who inspired them.
music sports appreciate
Boxing is like jazz. The better it is, the less people appreciate it.
hurt thinking dust
It embarrasses me to think of all those years I was buying silk suits and alligator shoes that were hurting my feet; cars that I just parked, and the dust would just build up on them.
horse sneak-in moments
Anytime I can sneak in a moment to fish and ride horses, I'm a happy camper!
democratic principle respect
The first principle of democratic government: Respect the people.
milwaukee similar teams
This is our place, our house, our building. We let too many teams come in and do similar things (as Milwaukee did).
sports fighting hands
Sure the fight was fixed. I fixed it with a right hand.
men champion boxers
When I was a boxer, I wanted to be champion of the world, not the richest man in the world.
winning sight years
You have to keep your goal in mind and never lose sight of it. I envisioned myself winning the heavyweight title for ten years before I actually captured it. If you're not driven to do your best, you'll never reach the level of excellence in your life.
sports retirement boxing
The question isn't at what age I want to retire, it's at what income.
