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.
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.
