    Hey, fellas.

    Looking for background stuff for a writing project. "Epic" quotes on the nature of fighting, courage, fear, etc.

    Stuff like:

    "A boy comes to me with a spark of interest. I feed the spark and it becomes a flame. I feed the flame and it becomes a fire. I feed the fire and it becomes a roaring blaze." :bbb

    "The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It's the same thing, fear, but it's what you do with it that matters." :happy

    (^^ Obviously it can't all be Cus!)

    Thanks in advance. Keep it Classic, fellas.

    Boxing is the only sport you can get your brain shook, your money took, and your name in the undertakers book

    "Boxing, for me, it's the beginning of all sports. I'm willing to bet that the first sport was a man against another man in a fight, so I think that's something innate in all of us." Omar Epps

    This is a great quote !

    Hagler: "I'm gonna break every bone in Tommy Hearns's body."

    Brent Musburger: "Sounds like you've got a personal vendetta against Thomas?"

    Hagler: "...not really."
