Occupation: Professional Boxer Birth: May 3, 1921 Death: April 12, 1989
To be a champ you have to believe in yourself when no one else will..
You don't think. It's all instinct. If you stop to think, you're gone..
Hurting people is my business..
You always say 'I'll quit when I start to slide', and then one morning you wake up and realize you've done slid..
Rhythm is everything in boxing. Every move you make starts with your heart, and that's in rhythm or you're in trouble..
I ain't never liked violence..
My business is hurting people..
Fighting, to me, seems barbaric. I don't really like it. I enjoy out-thinking another man and out-maneuvering him, but I still don't like to fight..
Don't let anything without a heart beat you..
