    Archie Moore was a lethal counter-attacker.

    Olsen was 1954 Fighter of the Year, coming off a run of wins against WW Champ Kid Gavilan, former LHW Champion Joey Maxim, #1 MW Randy Turpin, and top MW contender Rocky Castellani. I think with this win and the Johnson and Valdez wins, a case can be made that Archie Moore was P4P #1 in 1955.

    Excellent win for The Mongoose.

    Its easy to chalk this up to size disparity, but I think it had more to do with Moore's precision punching and a lack of proper discretion on Olson's part.
