    pretty interesting, some things of note:

    9:35
    States that shoveling gravel and chopping trees was a training method for him. Interesting to note how many boxers would chop wood for training, seems to be very common. Even newschool guys like Mayweather have been reported to do it.

    11:09
    States that the boxers he most looked up to were Kid Chocolate, Jack Dempsey, and Jack Johnson

    11:40
    States that the greatest heavyweight of all time is Jack Johnson. Just to clarify, this interview took place in the 1970s, so that means that he believes that Jack Johnson > George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Muhammad Ali, Sonny Liston, Rocky Marciano, Joe Louis, and Jack Dempsey

    The interview also has some interesting notes about the rumors of his age, and an organization Moore supported named "ABC"

    Thanks for the great upload.

    I absolutely loved it.

    I’m not very knowledgeable of Archie’s career, but I now what to delve into it.

    I could listen to him all day. A very intelligent, articulate man with strong beliefs.

    I hope more posters comment on the thread.

    I’m happy to read more anecdotes and learn about the man who Bernard Hopkins admired so much.

    The way he could articulate after over 200 fights has always impressed me as well, and thank you
