Sports Quotes: Boxer Jack Dempsey

" When I was a young fellow, I was knocked down plenty. I wanted to stay down, but I couldn't. I had to collect two dollars for winning or go home hungry.  I had to get up, I was one of those hungry fighters. You could have hit me on the chin with a sledgehammer for $5. When you haven't eaten for 2 days, you'll understand. - Jack Dempsey
