About this listen
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.

Archie Moore's career in the ring is legendary: The man still holds the record for the most professional knockouts, and his achievement as the longest-reigning Light Heavyweight champion remains undisputed. In Mike Fitzgerald's epic biography The Ageless Warrior, Gary Telles narrates the life of the man affectionately nicknamed "The Old Mongoose". From Moore's experience training George Foreman to fighting Rocky Marciano and Muhammad Ali, Telles' animated storytelling pays homage to the rich life of one of boxing's greatest fighters.

A revelation.
As a self-confessed boxing nut, I absolutely loved this book. But upon finishing it I reflected with both sadness and awe coursing through me, that Archie Moore"s story is an incredible one never to be repeated and a lesson to everyone, boxing fan or not. God bless you Archie!

The enduring and happy fighter
Very inspiring, there goes a man 😉. Doesn't only teach you about being a fighter, but in how to be a man, how to think, and how to get alongbin the world. A man who would rather change his clothes in a field rather than a fancy hotel, came from tough times but never forgot where he came from.

A good autobiography
This is an exceptional story of one of boxing's greatest pugilistic slugger's, but poorly narrated.
