Bruce Seldon

Bruce Seldon's story moves me because heavyweight glory is so unforgiving. Holding the WBA heavyweight title from 1995 to 1996, this Atlantic City native reached the very summit of the sport, and that achievement alone deserves real respect regardless of how the reign ended. What I admire most, though, is what came after: he turned to training, passing hard-won knowledge to younger fighters. There is something honest about a man who knows the cost of every punch teaching others how to throw and absorb them. Staying inside the fight game long after his own bouts ended strikes me as quietly admirable.
