Motivation
So, what do boxing and philosophy have in common? That's its own philosophical debate.
The short answer is...me. Boxing taught me how to focus, how to harness what i felt and make
constructive use of it. It taught me humility. It taught me sportsmanship, and through the years
and lives of boxers who came and went, it offered me a intricate look into complex lives.
There are a lot of stigma's associated with the sport and its fighters, much of it often never how
it was presented to the public. There were a lot of great moments and a lot of lives enriched and destroyed.
I came across this short video and it reminded me just how long the road to what one wishes
to accomplish...is, and just how short it can be.
Boxers whom i enjoyed (shout out):
Mike Tyson (heavyweight)
Evander Holyfield (heavyweight)
Marvin Hagler (middleweight)
Shane Mosely (welterweight)
Arturo Gatti (welterweight)
Kevin Kelly (lightweight)
Pernell Whitaker (welterweight)
Bernard Hopkins (middleweight)
Jermaine Taylor (middleweight)
