1962 BOXING YEARBOOK, my Review:  By Brian Zelley


The feature article and front page was focused on "THE ARCHIE MOORE Story".
But there were other good articles and stories as follows:
"The Fight That Patterson Can't Win" by Barry Gottehrer, re. 
*"is Emile Griffith For Real" by Glen Stephens,
*"The Pride Of Paul Pender" by Bill Liston
*"What's Ahead In Boxing" by Lee Greene

*"The Marciano of Canada" by  Rex macLeod re George Chuvalo
*"The Man Who Smashed Frankie Carbo" by Walter Wager
*"Life and Loves Of Magnificent Mick" by John Lardner re. Mickey Walker
*"The End Of a Fighter" by Dick Schaap,  re. Sugar Ray Robinson 
*"It Happened In Sports" by Jimmy Breslin re Joe jacobs and the
bet on the "Benny Valgar vs Johnny Kilbane" fight during the "Roaring Twenties".


"WHAT'S AHEAD IN BOXING"
The review and preview of the different divisions starts with a story about
Sonny Liston and one of his pranks.  Photos included Floyd Patterson landing
the fight stopping  right hand on Ingemar, Archie Moore landing a smashing
right hand on the forehead of Giulo Rinaldo. a Robinson vs Fullmer close-up,
Emile Griffith blasting Benny Paret to the deck, Dave Charnly cros parrying a 
Joe Brown straight left. and Davey Moore blasting an opponent to the deck.  


Gotta love Jake laMotta's highlight paragraph:
"I'm not trying to whitewash myself.  I was a thief, I threw a fight,
 I did two terms in jail and lucky  I wasnt a murderer.  But those rats
 that run boxing made me look like Little Lord Fauntleroy".
The LaMotta story begins with two tough lower East Side of New York
having a street fight  They were both 12, and after awhile someone
broke-up the fight so it ended as a draw betweein the two who
would become middleweight champions LaMotta and Rocky Graziano.
