"In no list
that you will ever see will he be listed among the 10 greatest,
but that is as it should be. He had a good left hand but he was
not a great boxer and, although he could bang with that right
hand, he was not a great puncher. He may, however, in the sense
that others could see themselves in him and read their own
struggles into his, have belonged to more people than any other
champion who ever lived. His beginnings as a fighter were the
beginnings of all fighters. What happened to him, though,
happened to a whole country, and that is why I believe that no
other fighter was ever as representative of his time." |
