You have to be a dead-eyed dirty-souled maniac to want to spend your extended life trading punches with other maniacs. Once you've seized that power, there's no getting off the merry-go-round. You fight like hell just to hold on or you get shoved off.

About This Quote

When you're in the ring, you're in danger of injury or even death. You have to be a dead-eyed dirty-souled maniac to want to spend your extended life trading punches with other maniacs. Once you've seized that power, there's no getting off the merry-go-round. You fight like hell just to hold on or you get shoved off.

In The Ring, there are things you can't control and things that happen that you can't predict. In order to survive, you have to know how to use your opponents and opponents have to know how to use you. Life is unpredictable and you have to be able to take a punch.
