Percy pulled me to the side and then pointed out that if i cant beat this ans sparring partners then what the hell do u think the champs will do to you. Bottom line, there is only one king of the hill and u can hurt your self trying to reach that point just like Freddy Roach or many other boxers. At least he made money on the training end. Many of us end up damaged and broke. I had a great mentor, i went the cutman route
    I think that happens to be one of the disappointing ends of the sport. We give so much credibility to being the world champion or a viable contender, but I think oftentimes the standard is set too high.

    If I ever turn professional, I'll box for the sake of boxing. I'll fight because I enjoy doing so. I'll probably get my ass handed to me on more than one occasion, but that's what makes the fight game interesting.

    Because I have a glass jaw. I have a big head, like I needed to tell you lot,and probably a tiny brain that bounces around like a pea in a bucket. When I was best man at my mates wedding the suit hire assistant said" it appears we do not have a top hat to fit you in store, we will have to order one in sir, you have a different sized head." consequently in the couple of stupid fights I have gotten into as an adult, it has not taken much to render me unconscious.

    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
