More From Alonzo Mourning

When shall i at last retire into solitude alone, without companions, without joy and without sorrow, with only the sacred certainty that all is a dream? when, in my rags—without desires—shall i retire contented into the mountains? when, seeing that my body is merely sickness and crime, age and death, shall i—free, fearless, and blissful—retire to the forest? when? when, oh when?
Dream Joy Fearless
Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

I think boxing is a singular sport, because the stakes are so high and because it just appeals to people's primal instincts. it's a life and death sport, and it's a sport of sacrifice. it's a humbling sport, and people are coming from humbling circumstances. it's always fun to watch a person that's come from nothing to having everything and losing it again.
