How did they screw him over? Not doubting, just curious. From what I read, I thought he made a ton of shitty investments and fell behind on his taxes.
He was in the Army & doing exhibitions and the government wanted their cut afterwards and he never caught back up. A simple Presidential pardon would have helped Joe out plenty but one was never given.

I guess I was thinking about Moore when Rocky was knocked down...eh, what does that tell you about The Rock? Archie was like 85 when they fought.
