    That was interesting read and I had not heard of him. That pictured looked odd because I am sure Archie Moore was shorter that Johnson.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Harold Johnson

    A magnificently built fighter. Muscular and powerful.

    He had one of the most powerful and accurate left-jabs in the business.

    * Floyd Patterson turned him down numerous times, while making excuses.
    * Sonny Liston turned him down 'twice'
    * Angelo Dundee wouldn't let Cassius Clay get near him in 1962 and 1963.

    Harold got a 'royal screwing' by the Judges in his bout with Willie Pastrano.
