    Joe Louis was oncew asked why he didnt knock out an abusive motorist who tail ended him:

    "If you insult Carusso does he sing Aria for you?"

    Whats crazy is Hopkins said almost the same exact thing Johnson said there. Reincarnation? most likely.

    When your arms are so tired that you can’t lift your guard - Fight one more round. When your legs are so tired that you can’t get to the middle of the ring - Fight one more round.
    When you are so tired you wish your opponent would put you to sleep - Fight one more round.
    The man who will always fight one more round is never beat!

    Boss.

    "Cocoon of horror" was a wonderful line. Apparently it was feed to McNeely by an old school-friend. Even Tyson was impressed.

    I honestly believe that the biggest factor in his post-fight success after the premature stoppage was that line.
