The Fallow Season Of Hugo Hunter - Plot & Excerpts
It was a sappy, cheesy song by a hair-metal band, and it concerned romantic love. But the sentiment applies equally to just about anything, and now, with my fighting career over, I find that it’s true for me, too. I had three chances at greatness as a boxer. You could argue that the first, in the Olympics, came through for me. I won that fight. Everybody knows it, and I was as celebrated for the injustice of my loss as I would have been for a victory. As a pro, I twice had a shot at winning a world title, and I squandered both of them. If there’s anything I truly regret about my career as a professional boxer, it’s not the money I lost or the fact that I can’t throw a left hook the way I used to. It’s that I didn’t bring my best effort to those two opportunities, and as a result they are lost to me forever. Think about this: If it’s love you want, you can keep trying until you’re dead and buried. If you’re an actor, you can keep going to auditions until you finally get that part.
