I can never understand the support for Moore. Sure he had an incredible amount of wins including many streaks but he was beaten by other the contemperary elites....Marciano, Charles, Burley, Patterson etc. and he was knocked down many, many times in wins AND losses which meant that he was not the defensive genius that legend makes him out to be. What he had was GREAT recuprative powers.
Not necessarily in this order: SRR Greb Langford Armstrong Fifth I have a hard time handing out, maybe Pep, Duran, or Charles
Your actually the first person i have heard criticise archie moore like that, i see your point, but this man was a light heavyweight king and only got his shot at 40 and getting knocked out by marciano is nothing to be ashamed of at around 48 years old haha!! hary greb and langford, wish there was more footage, going by aritcles is annoying when trying assess them and appreciate them.
just about my list:bbb charles is in a race with ali and duran for that spot with an argument for fitz
Bob fitzsimmons Sam langford Ray robinson Harry greb Joe louis Henry armstrong Ezzard charles Willie pep Muhammed ali Roberto duran
