"Doubt f**ks everything. Take a foundation, no matter how strong, sprinkle generously with doubt, and watch it crumble. Me? I'm unf**kwithable.

This brainbuster is for you."

I propose to be the champion of the world, not the white or the Canadian or the American or any other limited degree of champion.
Tommy Burns
