What would be the 10 commandments of boxing?

[Mike Shore]

If the sport of boxing were a Bible, what would be the 10 commandments of boxing be?

E.g. Thou shalt never show weakness, Thou shalt respect thy opponent, etc etc. (Not very good examples but you get the idea!).

The reason I ask is because I've received a brief from university to create an ident for The Ring magazine, which as you know has the tagline "The Bible of Boxing."

I'm currently just doing some research and would be interested to see what some boxing fans think! All opinions/ideas/responses will be much appreciated!

Thanks, Mike
