It is that supreme state, when a single golden punch plunges you into another universe - the universe of World Champions. Is there a man who isn't in awe of the valor, the courage, the determination, the physical force, the mental power, the conviction, even the faith of those who have gone beyond the limit, those who are in that "other" place? These two questions concern a the myth of the "World Champion." The men who incarnate that myth embody the power of nature itself. They bolize human vanity and human nobility at the same time. But the "law of the ring is always there to bring this beautiful world back to cold, hard reality. Boxing is not a world for the innocent or pious, because with boxing, in a single flash of lighting, everything can be destroyed. In boxing, an entire life is sacrificed between four ropes, offered to the gods of boxing. And then these supermen quickly become just like the rest of us simple human beings, with all the strengths of human beings, and of course, all the weaknesses. To be a boxer is to accept this challenge, to follow an untrodden path. To risk honor, health, and even life itself.
