You have to keep your goal in mind and never lose sight of it. I envisioned myself winning the heavyweight title for ten years before I actually captured it. If you're not driven to do your best, you'll never reach the level of excellence in your life.
George Foreman

I think its so good for boxing when a new guy or new blood as we call it, makes a big statement.
George Foreman
Image
