Top 20 Jacks. No.5- Jack Dempsey
“A champion is someone who gets up when he can’t.”
“By forgetting the past and by throwing myself into other interests, I forget to worry”
“All the time he’s boxing, he’s thinking. All the time he was thinking, I was hitting him.”
“Tell him he can have my title, but I want it back in the morning.”
“Tall men come down to my height when I hit ‘em in the body.”
“Nobody owes anybody a living, but everybody is entitled to a chance.”
“Honey, I just forgot to duck. (to his wife, on losing the World Heavyweight title)”
“A champion owes everybody something. He can never pay back for all the help he got, for making him an idol.”
“A good fighter usually knows, to within a very few seconds, when a three-minute round is going to end.”
You know what a champion is? A champion is someone who’s ready when the gong rings—not just before, not just after—but when it rings.
