            One of the best things on Boxing Scene right now. This was inspiring and definitely makes me have the utmost respect for Archie Moore

                        This is the best article I've read on this forum in LONG time. So inspirational that it genuinely brought a huge smile to my face while reading. Also puts into perspective the behaviour of some of our current champions and how being a champion should not just be about what you do in the ring. This is lost with many modern day boxers.

                            Practicing your jab in a restroom with one ATG giving you advice and another taking a piss would probably be the most surreal moment in any of our lives.

                                        Great story! Thank you Iceman!
                                        Btw, when are you going to finally publish your book? I've been waiting for 5 years now lol.
                                        I think I lost the Roy Jones story, which is probably the best boxing reads.
