A Champion Owes Everybody Something. He Can

When I Was A Young Fellow I Was Knocked Down Plenty. I Wanted To Stay Down, But I Couldn't. I Had To Collect The Two Dollars For Winning Or Go Hungry. I Had To Get Up. I Was One Of Those Hungry Fighters. You Could Have Hit Me On The Chin With A Sledgehammer For Five Dollars. When You Haven't Eaten For Two Days You'll Understand.

A Champion Is Someone Who Gets Up When He Can't.

Nobody Owes Anybody A Living, But Everybody Is Entitled To A Chance.

I Was A Pretty Good Fighter. But It Was The Writers Who Made Me Great.

A Good Fighter Usually Knows, To Within A Very Few Seconds, When A Three-minute Round Is Going To End.
