But who would force the soul tilts with a straw
Against a champion cased in adamant.

A frame of adamant, a soul of fire,
No dangers fright him, and no labors tire.Samuel Johnson
Non-violence is backed by the theory of soul-force in which suffering is courted in the hope of ultimately winning over the opponent. But what happens when such an attempt fail to achieve the object? It is here that soul-force has to be combined with physical force so as not to remain at the mercy of tyrannical and ruthless enemy.

I will defend my title as heavyweight champion of the world against all comers, none barred. By this I mean black, Mexican, Indian or any other nationality without regard to color, size or nativity. 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.

I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety percent of his labor.
