Everyone has a plan until they've been hit.

Louis also said, of the much smaller Billy Conn: "He can run, but he can't hide."

Joe Louis also said, "I can show you how to box. I can teach you every technique and trick I know, but I can never make you a fighter. That comes from inside, and it's something no one else can ever give you."

Mike Tyson stole Joe Louis' quote!

"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face." 

 I love to study the philosophies of Joe Louis vs Mohammad Ali--two "people's champions" with very different thoughts on making the world a better place.
