Tub Thumper Murray Goodman has hung the tag of the Cincinnati Cobra on Ezzard Charles.

NOTE: I know Murray's son Bobby very well!

Archie Moore:
It is not my intention to expound on how I will dispose of this brash youth, however, I would like to remind you of an occurrence in my light heavyweight title defense last June against Yolande Pompey at London. The first good right cross I threw, according to ringside scribes, drove Pompey back a full four feet, cutting his eye. The force of the blow was so great that it also caused his nose to bleed, even though the punch didn't land on his proboscis.
Can you imagine what will happen when I counter as Patterson comes in with one of his highly publicized and unbelievably amateurish feet-off-the-floor right hand leads?
After my London fight I compared myself to a mongoose. As you know, a mongoose becomes more deadly with each contest. Sports writers have likened Patterson's punching to a snake striking. That's just about how our fight will be, an old mongoose against a very young snake. When I get through with him, D'Amato's kid will be a very sick serpent!

Wonderful story teller our Old Grey Mongoose.
