The chiseled Adonis
had all the tools
a champion needs
Power, stamina, and speed
A huge heart with mad skills
The whole battle package
Except for one fatal design flaw
A porcelain like glass jaw
Tap it and down he went
to taste the canvas
An anatomical
career buster for a boxer
Today the former fighter
is a pugilistic teacher
of global renown
Trainer of champions
By conventional standards
of happiness
he is the definition of success
and yet..
Late night
when alone in the gym
he hops into the ring
to shadow box with the past
Forever sparring against
the ghost
of what could have been
