    I enjoyed this one too,MR.BILL. White and Scott were great,as you say. In some scenes it's almost if White WAS Tyson.

    "What is the difference between a hero and a coward? There ain't no difference. Inside they're both exactly alike. They're both scared of dying or getting hurt. It's what the hero does that makes him a hero. What the other guy doesn't do makes him a coward."

    "One word describes Rocky Marciano. Tenacity. Only one hundred eighty seven pounds but to this day he remains the only undefeated heavyweight champion. How? Because he would not imagine he could lose. He would not even allow the concept of defeat to enter his mind."

    "When two men step into the ring, one and only one deserves to win. When you step into the ring, you gotta know you deserve to win. You gotta know destiny owes you victory. cos you trained harder than your opponent. You sparred harder. You ran further."

    "Joe Louis may have been quiet on the outside, but on the inside pure rage. He was a Negro in a white mans world and he hates it. Up and down the street, twenty four hours a day."

    "Lies and deceit. Subterfuge. Thats what we deal in. Dont ever let anyone know your real intentions. Champion fighters, champion liars. Best in the world."

    Cus: "Mike, do you know what a professional is?"
    Tyson: "Someone gets paid to?"
    Cus: "It has nothing to do with money. A professional is a guy who performs no matter what hes feeling inside. You understand me? No matter what."

    "Dont worry about being scared going into a fight. Its when you aint scared thats the time to worry. Fear is the friend of every good and reasonable athlete."

    I saw Tyson's ship sinking after Jimmy Jacobs died in 1988 and than Tyson with King's assistance, fired Cayton and Rooney before and after his wax job of Spinks.... Tyson was headed for a fall by the end of the 80's....
