Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up.
Champions aren't made in gyms, champions are made from something they have deep inside them — a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.
Boxing is the toughest and loneliest sport in the world.
You know, I cut easily, so I don’t think I would’ve won the title, but I would’ve been a contender.
To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography and the dancers hit each other.
Boxing is for men, and is about men, and is men. A celebration of the lost religion of masculinity all the more trenchant for its being lost.
