Why Be A Boxer instead of a fencer? Because without the sword, the fencer is not dangerous. A boxer's weapons are embodied. The boxer is the weapon. At any time and in any scenario, the boxer is effective and, when needed, lethal. Becoming the weapon of your choice requires years of dedication and a relentless commitment to disciplined, incremental growth over time. Pain is the price of admission. Be A Boxer offers men axioms to consider as they carve out their place in life. Historical wisdom is an antidote to toothless bumper stickers and coffee mug bromides. The way isn't through self-improvement but self-denial.
