Excellent article on Archie Moore

[Scott9945]

Part one of a very long article by Tom Hauser. It focuses on his life up to winning the title. Lots of great insights by Moore and others from that era.

Great, great article.

Archie Moore is one of the greatest fighter's of all time, no question.

Shame their were no words from Harold Johnson who was certainly one of his greatest Rivals.

Well this was just part one, so there still is a chance. Moore did fight Johnson after he won the title. I'll post part two as soon as I see it.

Nice article Scott. We can never hear too much about The Mongoose!


On a side note,
I question Hausers opinion that boxrec is more accurate than the Ring record book.

I'm glad you mentioned that. I do as well. Box-rec is careful not to list fights they can't verify. But that doesn't mean that they didn't happen.

I have made many corrections at boxrec nearly always supported by video proof. I don't blame boxrec for the mis-information, I would rather question the people entering the info in the first place. I have many professional fights on video that just don't exist there and several fight cards where they have the card separated on different dates and/or different locations. It is also not rare to find an unimportant undercard bout with a completely wrong result.

That beng said, I do admit it is the best online source for information on the web. And though at times I am concerned of the accuracy, I depend on the site many times a day.

Sorry, don't mean to sidetrack the thread. Archie Moore deserves better than this.
