“Some have made boxing a terrible thing to be around.” — Gerry Cooney Quote

“Some have made boxing a terrible thing to be around.”

“For every athlete, the roar of the crowd goes away, and we have to learn how to turn the page.”

“I always felt I was wounded. That I was no good, a piece of crap, and that I wouldn't amount to anything, because that's what my father always told me. I just felt like I didn't belong anywhere.”

“Whether it's boxing or in life, I've gotten here by any means necessary.”

“The life of a boxing athlete is short, so I don't have time to waste or time to take tune-up fights or whatever.”

“When I'm not boxing, I play instruments.”
