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.
And that 10 year reign started at 39. It took him so long to be given a chance. If not the best boxer of all time, the great Archie Moore was the 2nd best
Hi bro, juat wondering, the footage you have of Cus at the end, in that same interview does it have Cus talking about Sugar Ray Robinson saying he didn't think he was the best p4p in history? I had that video somewhere but can't find it.
He also briefly trained Muhammad Ali before Angelo Dundee. They didn't get along, Archie made Ali do cleaning and chores around his training camp, which Ali hated.
@@adnaanu Ali was told to do his own chores to clean after himself They’re his chores not anybody else but him. If a man can’t clean after yourself, I don’t know if that really makes a man. Much respect to Ali, but they did get along. They were great friends. Also

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!!
Light Heavyweight champion of champions. His fight at HW with the Rock was just because he could. I think he's the longest reigning LHW champ of all time as well as the oldest. He was nearly 50 when he was stripped of the title. After which he still fought Ali.
@@TheObserver85 Might fact check me, but that's the way I remember hearing it. I think he was pretty old when that happened. It was for not defending if memory serves, so at least that's a legit reason. He'd been champ so long he probably didn't care. Dude was unbeatable at LH.
@@GibDozer1 I can believe that. I only know the name Archie Moore from my dad. I should definitely look him up and get to know his history better. Much Appreciated GD1🤜🤛
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.
Sadly, I just learned about this great man and love what I have learned. He will always be a true American Legend, a lesson that all should follow. Rest in Power Mr. Moore/Old Mongoose!
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
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!

@@GibDozer1 I don’t think Ali took it easy on Archie and which Liston Ali fight are you talking about because everyone that knows Boxing knows Liston took a dive and if you don’t believe me, you should read the Sonny Liston Ali book by Paul Gallender @PaulGallender
He was also a hell of a nice person and genuine SPORTSMAN as well as a frequent, familiar face on TV. He LOVED the sport of boxing!!! Even though he, and other men of that era, had way less yet had more on the line, he and they never had to resort to demonizing or even disrespecting their opponents! That’s why they could forge genuine friendships with their opponents. It was a game or contest. Nowadays there is no soul to the game. Just cash. No contest that brings resolution with a pat on the back and an I’ll get u next time. Now it’s just puffed up egos. Archie was GREAT! His fight with Marciano is fun to watch. Of The Rock, Archie said it was like fighting a propellor!
RDB, thank you for introducing me to another legend in yet another banger of a documentary! Your work really is the best!! I love your sophisticated, smooth, eloquent style of writing. Its crazy that Archie Moore achieved so much beyond the age of 40!! The comeback win against Durelle was spectacular, and that quick, short, counter right is brilliantly devastating. As always, wishing you and yours the very best!! - Cant wait to see the Brown Bomber! ✌👊
It is always great to hear more about the Old Mongoose, I had the pleasure of being introduced to pugilism by a man who trained with Archie after he retired.
Strangely enough, I had the pleasure of meeting the man in the 70s while a recruit in San Diego, California. Visiting a church one weekend, I met a Marine, a drill sergeant, who attended church with Moore. At that time, the three of us had at least one thing in common. I had the pleasure of visiting Moore at his home. Even stranger, I have not shared the memories of that encounter with many. You can believe it or not.
This is the first time I believe I have heard the story of Archie Moore! What a heroic dude! He chose his hill to die on and faught forever with a smile on his face until he won! What a righteous story man! Big thanks for the vid!

Just hearing about Archie Moores' knockout record , and still to this day having the highest knockout record in professional boxing history. He quickly became my #1 favorite boxers of all time😮. I would practice shadow boxing, saying in my head "I'm going to fight more, I'm going to have the most knockouts, me!😡" My coach got a sketch of Archie and hung it around where I spend most the time at the gym😂. My first time seeing his sketch picture had me motivated. I copy his style when I fight not going to 🤥 lie. I'm surprised by the footage they have of Archie Moore on this Video. Archie a veteran 🥊 boxer, what else is there to say. 🕵
Archie is simply one the greatest heavyweights due to his longevity through eras. And he took on all challengers. We should be holding him in the same regard as we do the more popular heavyweights.
@@SOLE_II_SOUL Yeah, held his own against the best Heavyweights of his time, but absolutely dominated at light Heavy. People make such a big deal about Foreman coming back in his late 30s(and it is), but Archie was game through his entire 40s!
@@GibDozer1 he was a great heavyweight as well! All white holding the title of light heavyweight champion of the world. Archie Moore was the number one contender simultaneously in the heavyweight division.
@@IamArchieMooresDaughter I think he outweighed Marciano when they fought. Athletes and people in general were smaller back then. Not to take anything away from Archie, but he was a big lightheavy more than a small HW.
Archie Moore's story sounds absolutely fascinating! It's incredible to think about someone competing at such a high level in boxing at the age of 50, especially in an era dominated by such strong figures. It goes to show the remarkable perseverance and determination that athletes can have. Also, standing up against the so-called 'boxing mafia' adds an intriguing layer of courage and resilience to his journey. It's always inspiring to hear about individuals who defy the odds and make a significant impact in their field! 🥊💪
You know Damien Anderson from the Creed movies took some inspiration from Archie Moore in both his boxing style and story. I love seeing the stories of these boxers represented. Seems old school boxers are the perfect representation of the fighting spirit.
How much respect & being a gentlemen when referring to each other before & after the fight. They are a dying breed. MASSIVE RESPECT 🙏 for the pair of them 💝
I'm almost 29 and I want to be a prof boxer. I was a wrestler previously. I had some doubts about the feasibility of my goal, as I started boxing relatively late, but this man erased my doubts.
Thank you for this moment in history that I did not know of. As a practitioner and instructor and the martial arts for many years I've studied all forms of fighting especially the history of fighting and it is always important to make sure you know all the history 🙏🏾
While watching Archie Moore's fighting technique, I noticed how his bobbing, weaving, and ducking reminded me of Mike Tyson and thought that maybe Tyson saw this man while watching old boxing films and adapted this technique from him just like Muhammad Ali adapted Jack Johnson's technique of jabbing while stepping backwards, and Bruce Lee adapted Ali's footwork (which he used in a scene fighting Chuck Norris in Enter the Dragon).
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.

While watching Archie Moore's fighting technique, I noticed how his bobbing, weaving, and ducking reminded me of Mike Tyson and thought that maybe Tyson saw this man while watching old boxing films and adapted this technique from him just like Muhammad Ali adapted Jack Johnson's technique of jabbing while stepping backwards, and Bruce Lee adapted Ali's footwork (which he used in a scene fighting Chuck Norris in Enter the Dragon).
Love it thanks for sharing 👍.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🥊
Thanks so much I've learn a lot off your channel
Love to hear that!!
Thank you this video! He was a king! $800 against Maxim's $100,000! It makes me cry!
Today it'd be equivalent to a champion earning 1.1 million dollars, while his challenger only paid $9000
As Muhammad Ali said, "I'm still a nigg*r to them no matter how much money I make or don't make".
Joe Louis had to give Braddock 10% of his purse from future fights to get a shot at the Heavyweight title
Great editing and great subject matter.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. Imagine how much he would have accomplished had he had an even playing field…Great video by the way 👍🏾
