    That may be a strong reason why he had so much longevity. Part of the reason fighters decline is due to desire, they’ve been in the game a long time and lose desire, obviously age is a contributor in terms of physical decline, but desire isn’t to be overlooked.

    He's like a positive, non-paranoid, and who knows what else, Cus D'Amoto.

    He's getting through to some rough, but intelligent, children. Instilling the discipline that they need. Imagine Archie Moore personally training you at 10 yrs old. Hate to put a number on it, but that is worth $1,000's.
