We try to tell these guys that the end of a boxing career isn't the end of their lives: it's the beginning of a new one.
From Gerry Cooney
You gotta appreciate every day!
If I keep thinking about yesterday, tomorrow might never come.
I feel like a pro now. Before I fought Holmes, I felt like a rookie.
The fight with Holmes was a plus. I gained so much experience.
Just because you don't see someone doesn't mean the love has changed.
What hurt most were the people who came up to me and said they lost $1,000 on me. It just makes you mad.
It's like you always think that when you get to a goal, you'll be happy. But then there is always something else that interests you.
The Klitschko boys, they're great fighters, but they're just boring here in America.
I don't overswing any more. I can throw a punch and be right in position to punch again. No more 'Hail Mary' punches, where it took me five minutes to get back in position.
