“You gotta let a guy be himself, because that's what makes him. Leonard, Robinson, Ali, Benny Leonard, Barney Ross, all of them had the same attitude. If they don't have that ego kinda temperament they're not going to make it. You gotta be a selfish guy. Most people take selfishness as something bad, but it's really something good.
