Boxing Aphorisms

"A champion is someone who gets up when he can't"
- Jack Dempsey

"All the time he's boxing, he's thinking. All the time he was thinking, I was hitting him." Jack Dempsey

"I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight," Tyson said. "That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them." Mike Tyson

“Boxing is brains over brawn. I don’t care how much ability you got, if you can’t think you're just another bum in the park." Ray Arcel

When two men are fighting, what you're watching is more a contest of wills than of skills, with the stronger will usually overcoming the skill. The skill will prevail only when it is so superior to the other man's skill that the will is not tested.
Cus D'Amato

"In chess, nobody is an expert, but everybody plays. In boxing everybody is an expert, but nobody fights." - Vitali Klitschko

When told of [Stanley] Ketchel's death, his manager Wilson Mizner is reported to have remarked: "Tell 'em to start counting ten over him, and he'll get up."

Inside of a ring or out, ain't nothing wrong with going down. It's staying down that's wrong.-Muhammad Ali

Some day they're gonna write a blues for fighters. It'll just be a slow guitar, soft trumpet and a bell. -Sonny Liston, 1962
