'You always hear that you've got to enjoy life. What does that mean? Well, it's the truth. Life's too short. You'll hear all those things, but it is about the journey. Look, I've made a lot of mistakes in my personal life. I made a lot of mistakes when I was married. I made a lot of mistakes with my children. But I hope and pray to God that I've done more right than wrong. And that's what I hope that comes out to my children, and I've tried to explain that to them. We do a lot of wrong in life, but hopefully all the right overcomes that.'

'One night, as I walked onto the porch to go into the house, Uncle Israel looked at me and, noting my stocky build, told the others, 'That boy there, that boy is gonna be another Joe Louis.'

Well, those words made an impression. Eight years old at the time, I thought, 'Why not?' Boxing fit with the rough-and-tumble character that I was.

At school, classmates would give me a sandwich or quarter to walk them at the final bell so that bullies wouldn't mess with them. Bullies would see me and say, 'Oh, okay. I didn't know you were friends with him.'

Around Laurel Bay, any scoombagah who got in my face soon regretted it. Another Joe Louis. That sounded dead right to me. From the moment Uncle Israel spoke those words, I took them to heart.

The next day, I got an old burlap sack and filled it with rags, corncobs, a brick in the middle, and Spanish moss that grew on trees all over Beaufort County. I tied a rope to it and hung this makeshift heavybag from an old oak tree in the backyard lot where the mules were kept. And for the next six, seven years damn near every day I'd hit that heavybag for an hour at a time.

I'd wrap my hands with a necktie of my daddy's, or a stocking of my momma's or sisters,' and get to it. I told folks I was destined to be a world champion, the next Joe Louis. They looked at me as if I was from Mars.'

- Joe Frazier

in 1983, Marvelous Marvin Hagler defended the middleweight championship with a 4th round KO of Wilford Scypion in Providence, Rhode Island. Petty sanctioning organization squabbles did nothing to deter Hagler, a 5-to-1 favorite.

"He's known as the Louisville Lip," said Tom Hardin, who photographed Ali for years for the Louisville-Courier Journal. "But when you got him one-on-one, and out of the eye, if you will, he was very humble.
"When the public would show up he would entertain them with poetry or magic tricks. He hugged everybody - and hugged 'em not only physically but emotionally."

Marvis Frazier, former heavyweight champion Joe Frazier's son, is the unfortunate recipient of this right uppercut from Mike Tyson before getting roughly stopped in the 1st round, 1986.

'Sometimes, after school, when we finished our homework, Rudy and I would play outside with some of the other kids in the neighborhood. I used to ask Rudy to throw rocks at me to see if he could hit me. He thought that I was crazy, but no matter how many he threw, he could never hit me, I was too fast. I was running left, and right, ducking, dodging, and jumping out of the way. My brother and I had a lot of fun together, we never really got into fights. My mother used to tell me that when I was about four, whenever she would try to discipline Rudy, I would step in and say, 'Dont you s***k my baby.' Rudy and I have always been close. He's my younger brother and I love him.'
