For 10 years he reigned as light heavyweight champion of the world, and after a career that spanned four decades, Archie Moore holds the record for having the most knockout victories of any fighter in history.
-
He did 250 push-ups everyday over a 1000 sit ups everyday. He trained George Foreman. The Old Mongoose Archie Moore. All time great! 🥊
-
He fought the mob fought the prejudice fought the press he fought the whole of his life to be accepted just for and as who he really was, A man
-
A man who dominated a sport for young men. A man who preferred rectitude over fame and money. A man who was devoid from dominating much earlier because he was upright. What a man
-
had no idea about Archie's history other than his reign. A man of integrity
-
Just judging by his boxing record, he seemed to be just as good a fighter in his 20s as he was in his 40s. People say fighters are supposed to be washed up in their late 30s and entire 40s. This man's existence defies that notion.

"Beware the old man in a profession where men usually die young."

Archie Moore is the definition of resilience and integrity. There’s hardly a human being tougher than him. He even had a near death experience with stomach ulcers, if my facts are correct. Giving up was not in his DNA. Everybody should learn from this role model. Always a champ!!
-
his one of the few heavyweights from the 40s/50s that i actually liked watching, he was way ahead of his time🙌
-
Had no idea about this wonderful man, his achievements and integrity. Thank you!
-
He was the MOST Elusive fighter but had the MOST KNOCKOUTS too, what a defensive monster
-
Please never stop these videos …. They are great.
-
Archie was Something Else, and I really love the professional, even cordial tones they were taking in interviews. None of that shit-talking BS - these were men, not very lucky boys in men's bodies.
-
archie moore has twice as many knockouts as most champions have fights, and the strategies he developed in the 40s are still studied and used today. foreman's comeback was only possible with archie in his corner and adapting his crossguard, i love his style of having such an airtight defence that you can charge right in throwing haymakers while still being covered up
-
Archie Moore was not only dedicated to his sport , but especially to himself. RIP Mr. Moore/Old Mongoose ❤🥊🥊🙏🏽
-
For me one of the GOATS of boxing. Without question. Up there with Ali, Robinson and Henry Armstrong. Dude was just ridiculously skilled.
-
The living representation of "it's not about how hard you hit but how hard can you get hit and keep moving forward", great video, keep up the good work!
-
Wow what an incredible man Archie is the face of never giving up
-
What an utterly classy dude. Absolute quality individual.
-
Wow! What an incredible man & for a long time so underrated & so underpaid too! At least he finally got the recognition he so deserved. RIP Champ 🙏😌⚘
