Never become angry - it will inhibit your ability.
It will also lead to a propensity for gnawing on your opponent's ear.

In essence, boxing is 10% physical and 90% mental and emotional.
Or in Mike's case, 100% mental.

Don't quit.
That's right, Iron Mike, don't take no for answer. She likes it.

Post by: MissaFX on July 26, 2008, 03:49:08 AM: I got mine new in the store too but it didn't come with any such letter. They probably only had so many printed and only put them in the first X number of the copies of the game. Some of these words are pretty big though for Mikey, I suspect he didn't actually write any of this, not even the quotes. Well maybe he said the quotes. Maybe lol.

Post by: rag-time4 on July 28, 2008, 10:32:49 AM: I had a mint condition box for this game with the inserts and the letter (the letter wasn't mint) that I sold on ebay. It went for about 15 bucks...

I kinda regret selling the letter because I like to keep the inserts, maps, etc for the NES games that are in my collection...

HAHA.. remember the letter from the old man that you needed in Zelda to buy potions from the old woman? Who knew that the letter was from Mike Tyson?!
