Gene Tunney Ring Quotations

My own ambition in the ring had always been skillful boxing, speed and defense - on the order of Mike Gibbons.

Actually, I started my ring career as a terrific hitter; then my hands cracked up and I had to resort to boxing and tricks to win.

No matter how skilled a boxer may be, he cannot stand up in the ring and give a good account of himself unless he is in perfect physical condition.

But in the ring Jack Dempsey was an instinctive fighter. I doubt if he ever planned anything in the ring, or thought about it much.
