Brown then finally reaches in his mind for words that represent him, an old saying and a piece of advice that has been with him through trials and adversity in and out of the ring, and remains deep with him today, If you dream it, you become it. If you think it, you achieve it. In the sport of boxing, champions are always revered. Victors are realized and immortalized in that single moment when the referee raises his hand officially declaring him the conqueror. Winners are congratulated and carried off to the cheer of the fans and the applause of the crowd on the shoulders of others.
Every story has a hero.
Boxing is a story. The winner plays the part of the hero and this hero overcomes the adversity of the challenger to meet his destiny and bring an end to the story. We need an ending, so us, the fans of the sport, the audience of the story, the ones who love the story, can crawl back to our lives and call the plumber or prepare our taxes, or get ready for Monday s 9 to 5. But whether we love the champion or hate him for defeating our bet, we recognize and give due to the winner, since he s always somebody s hero. But sometimes the story is different.
