when you read that it sounds a whole lot like Cus D'Amato's 'philosophy"
Gene Tunney has chapters in it on Courage, Fear and most important of all to him "Will Power".
be sure to check it out.
Whitey Bimstein was the trainer for Gene Tunney for the majority of his career.

Some guys work a corner a few times and later say they "trained" the fighter in question.
