| gptkbp:famousQuote |
“I’m a man of my word.”
“The only way to prove you are a good sport is to lose.” “A champion is someone who gets up when he can’t.” “I never lost a fight. I just ran out of time.” “You can’t put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.” “I’m not a fighter. I’m a lover.” “I’m a fighter, not a lover.” “I fought for my life.” “I was a fighter, but I was also a man.” “I was born to fight.” |
