They used to give me $300 a round

to spar.

That was big money back then.

l never got a real fight.

But hey, l'm here.

So why they call you Thump?

Is it because you hit hard?

They call me Thump

because l hit the canvas hard.

But l always got back up.

Damn.

You wasn't that good, huh?

l didn't ever say l was.

You know? l just love boxing.

As a little kid, l just wanted to be a boxer,

so l gave it a shot.

Weren't you nervous

that you would fail?

Of course.

But that ain't why you don't try.

What if l was one of the greats? Hm?

What if it was all about me?

l wouldn't know if l didn't try.

l know l could've looked good

on that poster too.

Heh.

Oh, man....

Look, man, l wish l could stay longer,

but l gotta get going, you know?

Hey, wait. Hey, hey.

Them is some interesting shoes

you got right there on your feet.

Man, what the hell are those?

l like them.

-Like them, huh?

-Yes.

Hey, look, when l first got a little money,

it wasn't 300 million...

...but l got a little jewelry,

you know what l mean?

l was sharp. l had my leather piece,

l had my Cadillac...

...l had some girls out front.

l had everything a man could want.

Yeah, everything.

Man. What happened to it?

l got robbed,

right out here on this stoop.

They shot me in my ass...

...ended my whole career just like that.

What can you do, man?

You step on a tent and it bent,

and that's the way it went.
