'In order to be at the top and maintain your focus you have to have something that motivates you. For me, it was what I perceived as a lack of respect from the boxing world as well as the media, which made me want to work so hard and be great.'

"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."- Joe Louis

'It's wonderful, it truly is. It's the only thing that's real. It's you against me, it's challenging another guy's manhood, with gloves. Words cannot describe that feeling of being a man, of being a gladiator, of being a warrior. It's irreplaceable.'

- Sugar Ray Leonard

"We spend more time learning how to make a living than we do learning to make a life." - Muhammad Ali

'Every fighter is aware, or should be, of how damaging it is to be surrounded by a group of yes-men who won't pose the questions that have to be asked. The danger, of course, is that the boxer, oblivious, will take on the next assignment and the one after that, and who will ever know which blows were the ones that made him an invalid for the rest of his life?'

'They said I was a bum. A wild, untamed kid who came swinging out of the Wild West to fight in saloons, ride the rods, make a buck any way I could. What is a bum? If being badly educated, owning one ragged shirt and a pair of patched pants and having holes in my shoes makes a man a bum, I was a bum. But I went hungry for days rather than steal. I begged, humbly, for any kind of job to earn a flop and a meal. I was never a bum bum. I was a starving kid, wandering in search of food, sometimes almost like an animal, living as best I could with the weapons of survival God gave me. My fists. And I guess my chin.'

- Jack Dempsey
