He had quite a few fights, well over a hundered yet I do not recall him showing any brain damage... :D .......Was his speech slurred at all. :confused: Anyone know for sure, during his career he scored 169 knockouts, that's alot of ko's...... :( .. He once knocked down R :mad: ocky Marciano..........
Archie Moore was a friend of mine... we talked in person and especially on the phone many times and I also have many handweritten and typed letters from him. He was DEFINITELY not affected in a negative from boxing.
From what I know, he showed no ill effects of his boxing career.
But also Moore is one of the most dominate Light Heavyweights of all time. So he didn't take much punishment.
Archie Moore
I met Archie Moore in 97 or '98. His speech was not slurred at all and his mind and eyes were sharp. I didn't talk to him long and he didn't seem to want to be involved in a coversation. so I got an autograph, had a line or two of general conversation and thanked him and left him alone. There was no stagger to his gait either, he was still steady. :)
