You could actually argue that Archie Moore is the greatest boxer of all time.

This man had 200+ fights and lived to be 81 and was still sharp after retirement. What a legend
@marlon1171 5 years ago

This man was simply superhuman to say the least!! 145 knockouts!! more than 200 fights..... and he sounded as articulate as it hadn’t fought a single day in his life.....

Archie Moore defined and till defines what a champion is! His character was the only thing greater than his boxing prowess. I'm certain that there are literally thousands of people in the world today that flourish because of his efforts long ago. What a legend, and what a legacy.
