The Boxer Who Wasn't

Tim was a good 30 pounds overweight and at 65 years of age, he was facing a mandatory retirement from his job.

But since boyhood Tim had dreamed of being a star athlete, one who excelled in football or baseball or soccer. However at age 65 time seemingly had passed him by.

That is until one day when one of his old friends brought up their boyhood hero, long ago World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Rocky Marciano.

That night Tim dreamed of Rocky and how exciting he believed life must have been for him. When Tim arose, his body felt much stronger. And when he looked in the mirror Tim saw muscles he never knew he had.
