"If theres magic in boxing, its the magic of fighting battles beyond endurance, beyond cracked ribs, ruptured kidneys and detached retinas. Its the magic of risking everything for a dream that nobody sees but you."

"To make a fighter you gotta strip them down to bare wood: you cant just tell em to forget everything you know if you gotta make em forget even their bones... make em so tired they only listen to you, only hear your voice, only do what you say and nothing else... show em how to keep their balance and take it away from the other guy... how to generate momentum off their right toe and how to flex your knees when you fire a jab... how to fly back and up so that the other guy doesnt want to come after you. Then you gotta show em all over again. Over and over and over... till they think theyre born that way."

"All fighters are pig-headed some way or another: some part of them always thinks they know better than you about something. Truth is: even if theyre wrong, even if that one thing is going to be the ruin of them, if you can beat that last bad out of them... they aint fighters at all."

"Im 32, Mr. Dunn, and Im here celebrating the fact that I spent another year scraping dishes and waitressing which is what Ive been doing since 13, and according to you Ill be 37 before I can even throw a decent punch, which I have to admit, after working on this speed bag for a month may be the Gods simple truth. Other truth is, my brothers in prison, my sister cheats on welfare by pretending one of her babies is still alive, my daddys dead, and my momma weighs 312lbs. If I was thinking straight Id go back home, find a used trailer, buy a deep fryer and some oreos. Problem is, this the only thing I ever felt good doing. If Im too old for this then I got nothing. That enough truth to suit you?"

So anytime I feel like it, I can sell that house from under your fat, lazy, hillbilly asses. And if you ever come back thats exactly what Ill do."
