I haven't got a Scooby Doo if any of these have been posted yet. Jack Dempsey- When I was a young fellow I was knocked down plenty. I wanted to stay down, but I couldn’t. I had to collect the two dollars for winning or go hungry. I had to get up. I was one of those hungry fighters. You could have hit me on the chin with a sledgehammer for five dollars. When you haven’t eaten for two days you’ll understand. Roberto Duran- Getting hit motivates me. It makes me punish the guy more. A fighter takes a punch, hits back with three punches. Muhammad Ali- Champions aren’t made in gyms, champions are made from something they have deep inside them – a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.

I live it'' ~ Marvin Hagler
