    Did Archie turn back the clocks or what? :shock: One of his best ever performances. Amazing Speed and Power shown here, for any age. To do what he did here at 42 years old is unbelievable.

    Archie was a master!
    Awesome longevity. Archie is the only man who faced Marciano and Ali.

    Their first fight in Montreal in Dec.1958 is considered by many as the best LH title fight of all time...a classic...

    I think their first fight shows the greatest comeback of all time in a fight.Moore shows tremendous courage ,an iron will ,and implacable self belief.

    Fast hands and fine performance by 42 year old Mongoose. Durelle took savage beating prior to being counted out. Hard to watch, just like Patterson being dropped over and over by Ingemar in their first fight.
