    Seems like you guys know something about everything, so here goes with a subject I've been curious about for nearly 30 years:

    When I was a teenager boxing at the local PAL, the walls were filled with posters from the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago featuring undefeated heavyweight Walter Moore as the main event. He racked up a long string of wins against fair to decent opposition and then fought Tiger Roy Williams in Las Vegas on a big fight undercard and was stopped in six. He had one more fight and then disappeared completely.

    My question is whether anyone actually saw or knows details on him and can kind of fill in the rest of the picture for me on who he was and why he fell off the edge of the planet?

    Thanks again, guys.
