[@cindytowne8881]

I saw the Durrelle fight when I was 11. I was a real fan, despite being white, and I was devastated when he went down 3 times in the first. To watch him win it in the 11th, was, and still is, one of my favorite sports memories of all time.

[@SuperLegitification]

Archie Moore went to Vietnam while my grandfather was stationed there as a major. He’s got plenty epic pictures of all the men with him and even got a few autographed. Never knew much about him, so before this documentary starts I just want to say Rest In Peace to my grandfather and Archie Moore. Both went through their trials I’m sure!

[@Aristotelezz]

There aren't many fighters with such a long and hard boxing career as Archie Moore who kept till old age all their facilities intact. I suppose Archie Moore was born to box.

"I try to teach young people the vital arts---the art of self-control, the art of self-defense and the art of self-reliance." Archie Moore From 2016-2019, I had the great privilege to teach that brilliant philosophy to Chinese boxers, teenagers on the North China Coast in Huanghua, Hebei Province, about 4 hours east of Beijing and near the Bohai Sea. They translated it into Chinese and painted it on a wall in their gym. Beneath the Chinese translation, they wrote this in Chinese: Remember Archie Moore.

Thank you - nay, BLESS YOU - for this, ibhof2. Tears coursed down my cheeks as I watched it, the rich memories flooding back. I am of the right age to have followed this unique genius: how we Brits loved him and respected him! How he inspired people, black, white, yellow, green and spotted! How we fell under the spell of his charm! Mr Moore had style by the boatload and honesty in overflowing abundance. I will always think of him as Sir Archie Moore: Champion and Man In Excelsis.

[@JoeLeeBush]

In 1957, I was stationed at the Naval Air Station, Ream Field in Imperial Beach about 9 miles below San Diego. I used to shoot pool at a bowling alley on Broadway in San Diego called the Tower Bowl. It had a pool room inside it. Archie Moore used to come in early on Saturdays and I'd shoot pool with him. He loved to play Bank Pool and we'd bet a dollar on the game. He was a pretty good pool player too and a nice guy to talk and joke with. But he had a rule he'd never talk about Boxing with any of us. He considered that private business. I was only 19 and I could kick myself for not ever getting a snapshot with him when we were playing pool there in San Diego. Long. long, ago. Now I am 84 years old and Archie is gone on to the other side.

I have also watched that fight many times: the ref was not helping Marciano in any way. moore just wasn't capable of handling Marciano's style of fighting. but then no one else was either. all that notwithstanding, he was a great humanitarian.

Moore is thinking of a lot of fights before that. If you check out his fight footage even in here in the doc there's a long count in one of the first fights here.

[@guyveloz4382]

Archie was both poetic and tougher than hell, and had a great sense of humor, often signing his letters to sports journalists "The MOST under appreciated fighter in the world." The superman from San Diego!!!!! He knocked Marciano down in the third round of their 1955 clash, but the brutal, neanderthal like Rocky Marciano simply was a freak of inhuman power, so that most fans that saw Moore stand up so heroically so long to Rocky's awesome clubbing and pounding and relentless hammering, most of them were won over to Archie and derided Marciano as little more than a a sort of sub-human wreaking machine of a monster, scarcely human at all. So understand that Rocky was never all that popular, his style very ugly, unrefined and bestial, and the sportswriters described the so-called Rock of Brockton as such. What has been sadly forgotten about the ultra quaint Los Angeles Archie Moore/-Muhammed Ali fight 1n 1962 or 1963 was the delectable promotional buildup to that eccentric fight when Archie and Ali engaged upon local L.A. news channels in POETRY CONTESTS. How delightful those so charming days were, though I DID feel sooooo sorry that Ali clobbered him so bad. But Ali, alas, was undoubtedly, hands down, the GREATEST EVER. No question about that. Archie was SO COURAGEOUS! Even age did not scare him.

Upstanding Black Man. He wrote letters. So many of today's boxers are illiterate. He coached kids. How many black boxers, retired or not, volunteer their time out of the ring as speakers and mentors, or in the ring as coaches?
