The Ageless Warrior: The Life of Boxing Legend Archie MooreThis beautiful, limited-edition volume is hand-numbered and autographed by boxing legends Archie Moore and Jake Raging Bull LaMotta. Certificate of Authenticity included, only 125 copies printed! There was only one man who fought both Rocky Marciano and Muhammad Ali. There was only one man who recorded 141 professional Knock-Outs. There was only one man who trained both a young Ali and heavyweight champion George Forman. There was only one Archie Moore. With a seven-decade boxing career, including 27 years as a prize fighter, Moore's vast career and exploits are finally chronicled in The Ageless Warrior. Author Mike Fitzgerald spent months with Moore before the boxer's death in an effort to capture the full life story of one of the 20th Century's most colorful and accomplished athletes. And what a story it was. Moore's opponent list reads like a who's who of boxing; he fought nine world champions and seven Hall-of-Famers. |
