Championship fight between Cassius Clay and Sonny Liston: Miami Beach, Florida. February 25, 1964. Image from Flickr.
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev’ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
“I am leaving, I am leaving”
But the fighter still remains
