Actually this song came to Paul as he was on a plane and looking through the bible and saw "workman's wages" and he immediatly started writing and was in a time of depression at the time. Its ALL ABOUT PAUL!!! AS a young man in England, and New York, the boxer is a metaphor for his perserverance.! READ THE WORDS AGAIN.
And I think Paul Simon has litttle over Bob Dylan. He's a bit more direct and doesnt stray the meaning for no reason like Dylan does with Mr Tambourine Man or something. He wont even say waht its about!
REspect for Dylan though, still one of the best, but I personally think Paul is better.
@sebastianquilt I agree the boxer is a metaphor for his or all of our perseverance, with going home being the shelter from the fight we all face living in the world, earn a living. Also, depending on one's faith, home could mean the everlasting life and the fight to live a righteous life on this earth with the promise of home in heaven as the shelter.

The great thing is that nobody actually has to choose between Paul Simon and Bob Dylan. Everyone is free to love both. I know I do!
