Ted Williams was the greatest hitter I ever saw, but DiMaggio was the greatest all around player.

It was the single greatest feat I ever saw.

Jake LaMotta

One thing I see in a lot of coaches is they try to live through the fighter. You can't live through the fighter. You gotta allow the fighter to be the fighter, and do what he do, and you just try to guide him. Why should I have to live through a fighter, when I went from eating out of a trashcan to being eight-time world champion? I stood in the limelight and did what I had to do as a fighter. I've been where that fighter is trying to go.

Ann Wolfe

Patricio Freire
