Here are a couple of great articles/stories about The Ole Mongoose. I've always thought that the feats of guys like Archie Moore and Bernard Hopkins was/is truly amazing. Man, I can't wait to read the Ageless Wonder book, co-written by the great Jake Lamotta also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEiycrgPcMc http://thestacks.deadspin.com/how-archie-moore-fought-forever-and-became-boxings-folk-1679521162 http://espn.go.com/classic/biography/s/Moore_Archie.html
The "great" Jake lamotta ? Maybe for that time , I guess some could claim he was great, but he was truly far from great.. have a good chin isn't nearly enough to be great. I think you're confusing the myth from the movie, instead of the face first brawler
He gave the arguable P4P GOAT his first career loss, and was a tough rival in other close fights. He also best Fritzie Zivic, Holman Williams, Robert Villemain, Bob Satterfield, and Bob Murphy. Great fighter.
