Used to shadow box with an old style iron in each hand to build up his arms an shoulders.As an older man got into an altercation with a younger guy and punched him in the mouth the other guy then bit him.Archie said ,"when I can't get my fist out of a guys mouth before he can bite me, its time to quit fighting."
True. But it seems that it goes across many sports. Recently I listened to a few basketball players who seemed outright ignorant of names like Jerry West. I'd love to have a Family Fued episode with fans vs boxers on boxing trivia. We'd mop the floor up with them! Unless Mike Tyson is on their team.
Archie talks about Kid Chocolate being one of his early inspirations. He had alot of impact. Henry Armstrong also said the Kid sparked his ambition to be a champion
