    for those who dont know eddie booker: 66-5 (33) was his record.

    he was never stopped.

    he fought archie moore 3 times.......and NEVER LOST!!!
    two bouts ended in a draw and one time booker knocked out moore in eight.......dropping him 4 times!!! he also dropped him twice during one of the draws!! this was a PRIME archie moore, who was 28 at the time!!!!

    he also beat hollman williams, jack chase, lloyd marshall, harry kid matthews etc.

    had to retire due to a detached retena at only 27.

    that should easily put him at eyelevel with carlos.

    That was not a prime Archie Moore, who reached his prime later in his career at LHW.

    archie was already past his best at light heavy.
