'One of the requirements for success in boxing, is that you be a little bit mean - not dirty or unethical, but simply mean. When the bell rings, it means one thing to me. That's to go out there and make a mess of the other guy. Mere knockouts are often merciful. But a lot of guys who aren't good enough to have a chance to beat you are tough enough to prevent you from flattening them in a hurry.' - Bob Foster | The Loneliest Sport
