Check the Internet on Moore. There's a lot of good stuff on him. Here's
a link to get you started:http://www.ibhof.com/moore.htmI've seen
the Ali (Clay then) Moore fight, and Archie was never in it. Of course, he was
at least 49 at the time, some say older. He scored a record 141 KOs in his time,
and no one could stay with him in his division. He even floored Marciano, though
was finally beaten.Some of the flashy stuff Ali did in and out of the
ring, he got from Moore, his one time (and short time) mentor. Ali was always a
gregarious people person, and in his younger days was a sponge for information,
though was probably ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), and dumped
Archie fairly quickly. One thing he didn't like was AM's spartan like approach
to training. Ali's rope-a-dope was actually Archie Moore's "turtle shell"
defense, and Moore, working in Foreman's corner in Zaire knew it, and knew how
to beat it, but George then wouldn't listen to anyone any more than Ali
would.I'm not sure that George could have beat it, even with Moore
telling him how. Ali was an unbeatable fighter in any age, regardless of his
opponent's style. Interestingly, one of the great warhorses of boxing, George
Chuvalo, provided the first clue for how to beat Ali, which Frazier used to do
so once, and come within a hair's breadth of doing so two other times. |

in a reunion with Brian Curvis who he boxed many moons ago..he was still
alive(and well) then. Did'nt go too mad on Rome Massimo...previously I travelled
to Sardinia (Sardegna?) - now that is a place !!|

I'm gonna visit it !I have seen a wide synthesis of the Clay-Moore fight and
I agree that Moore never was in it. Did you see all the fight ? I think that was
a good victory for Cassius because Moore, despite his age, was coming from a
long chain of fights: Ko over Lavorante, a draw with Pastrano, and a 1 round Ko
over Howard King. Besides that, the way he won was worthy of attention... He
said:" Archie Moore will fall in four". That's almost a miracle and he repeated
that miracle in several occasionsEvren-If you like Sardegna so much,
it means that you like beatiful nature and beautiful sea ( and good food).|

there only bout that they have on tape!? On the subject of that,Jerry was said
to have beat 6 un-ranked boxer's on his way to Ali II, I Know for a fact Jack
Bodell, AND LARRY MIDDLETON were both ranked in everyone's top ten when JQ beat
them,Even the best (RING MAGAZINE) had Bodell #8, and MIDDLETON #7. QUARRY was
also "fighter of the month" for his win over Bodell,And ranked NO.2 over GEORGE
FOREMAN himself.A friend, and its a reasonable reliable source, said Jerry came
down the aisle, and made BOB FOSTER and his entourage walk around him,after he
beat Mike Quarry,(but isn't there an intermission between bouts?) TAKE CARE!|

Muffinman? I said I was a fan ouf yours and you turn on me. That is too bad as
I can use all of the fans I can get and I liked it when he said he was my fan.
Hey, at least I still got Massimo. Hey Massimo, I admire you too.Don't
let the knuckleheads get you down. They always insult me and I don't care. I
have friends in the boxing world who mean something, not like these bozos who go
around disrespecting people.I wonder if Koo Koo can go ten posts without
mentioning me. I am still not sure why he is so concerned about me anyway, for
bad or good.Maybe he is jealous that I am an origninal stooge around
here and he isn't.|
