    The Old Mongoose,Archie was 1 of the GOAT I think!

    How can you dispute most ko's of all-time,fought all the best fighters in and above his weight class,never dodged anyone,and at a time when there were so many greats!

    R.I.P Archie,4get Bob Foster,Roy Jones Jr,B Hop,Antonio Tarver or any others! You were the GOAT at LHW and at a time when it really meant something!

        He most definitely has a case to be the GOAT at LHW...Without a doubt.

        However, I personally have Charles ranked ahead him.

        But, Archie was clearly a great fighter. He is in a very small and elite of company of great fighters.

            They sure don't make them like they used to. Smoking Joe has got to be my fav fighter of all time.
            Archie just fought until he was past shot

              There were so many guys in Archie's time who were good. It was a real struggle to stay at the top.

                  exactly how many fighters do you know of who fought Ali and Marciano,Jersey Joe,Billy Conn,Floyd Patterson,Ezzard Charles,Bobo Olson and so many other greats? There will never be another Archie Moore!!

                    His name was Yolande Pompey, he's from trinidad and tobago but fought out of Canada ( not sure where).

                    Yeah, Joe was the man. He had that go to work ethic. He never looked tired. One eyed beast
