Jack Dempsey Quotes Click here for Jack Dempsey books Jack Dempsey, the Manassa Mauler "A champion is someone who gets up when he can't." "Nobody has to go hungry today. There is plenty of work for a man who wants to work. A kid can make plenty of dough for himself doing almost anything. I was hungry. I had to fight my way along. Freights and the like, fight, fight all the time. The life was tough, but it hardened you." "I was one of those hungry fighters. You could have hit me on the chin with a sledgehammer for five dollars. When you haven’t eaten for two days you’ll understand." "All the time he's boxing, he's thinking. All the time he was thinking, I was hitting him." "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." "I was a pretty good fighter. But it was the writers who made me great." "Nobody owes anybody a living, but everybody is entitled to a chance." |
