Line 14:
* [[Death to Smoochy|Spinner Dunne]].
* [[Paul Simon]]'s "The Boxer".
{{quote|
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down,
Or cut him 'til he cried out in his anger and his shame,
"I am leaving, I am leaving."
But the fighter still remains. }}
** Similarly, John Gorka's "Dream Street."
{{quote|
They never seem to quit in their prime
I guess it's taken as a given that a champion is driven
So he can always win one more fight. }}
* Evoked in one ''[[Redwall]]'' book with Lord Asheye, a Badger Lord who fought a great deal when he was younger and is now always aching because of his many, many scars.
