Rocky Marciano, the greatest boxer that ever lived once said:
“All the time you're getting ready for a fight, working hard, but relaxed, always surrounded by people - never alone and then suddenly it's time and you go out there, you and the other guy, and you're all alone out there in front of all those people and you have to take what you've learned and use it without making any bad mistakes, because one slip and it might be all over and there might not be another chance.
You don't think of the money, although that's what you're in there for. You don't think of the crowd, although you sometimes hear them. You're trying to concentrate. You have your pride - all you want to do is win and it's just you and him and only one of you can win.”
Marciano captured the raw solitude of a fighter’s moment of truth. All the noise, the training, the people, gone in an instant. What’s left is silence in the storm, pride in the ring, and the simple, brutal truth that only one man walks out a winner. Plus, this was a time of honesty, when a fighter would mention the reason they do this brutal sport, is for the money.
