Mike Tyson used to ask little old ladies if he could help them carry their bags from a grocery store to their cars. When they got to the car he would KO the grandma and take her purse and her groceries.

This is the best. Ike Ibeaubuchi was getting ready for a fight and the owner of the building came in to his dressing room and wished him good luck, Mr. Ibeabuchi. He didn't call Ike, The President and so Ike refused to fight. After about a half hour Ike's trainers convinced him to go out and fight, but only because it was "The Presidential" thing to do.

Barney Ross received a silver star after carrying a wounded team mate on his back and single handedly defending himself and the wounded man from a squad of enemies in the war.

He then got addicted to morphine came off it and does talks at university about the dangers of drugs.

Very inspirational man.

I know he wasn't known for his Boxing, but he was a warrior,... Former Test Cricket Great & Superstar (even the KING loved him) And WW2 BOMBER Pilot,...KEITH MILLER, was once told by a reporter that he was indeed brave for facing some of the fastest and most dangerous bowling in history (Wes Hall ???),...... Miller dismissed the idea,... Keith replied,.. "BRAVE ??????,.... Mate I'm not Brave, Brave is HAVING A MESSERSCHMIDT Up Your RRRSE". .....It Seems that Keith Miller had a different perspective............ AND, I haven't heard a better quote from anybody, EVER !! ..a Classic, from a classic man.
