This man had 200+ fights and lived to be 81 and was still sharp after retirement. What a legend
He probably lived to 84… If we believe his mother. Never understood why he himself claimed he was born in 1916 when his mother said 1913. They touch on the subject in this interview but he dodges the question and is reluctant to answer.
@@listonheinz9103 He did that on purpose fer suspense. He admitted his age in the Bob Costas interview. He admitted to being in his 40s vs. Floyd Patterson. His obituary reads *Born 1913* ..BUT of course Marciano fans always go with 1916
This man was simply superhuman to say the least!! 145 knockouts!! more than 200 fights..... and he sounded as articulate as it hadn’t fought a single day in his life.....
That's why people can't say Floyd is the GOAT. Yeah he never lost but there are fighters with longer more wins on a streak
Agreed
When he was born the doctor didn't saw a normal human hand,they saw boulders
You know he had good defense because hes had over 150 fights and still speaks clearly
219 Fights!!!!
Lived to be 81.
Some men are just built different. I bet he has a thicker skull then a normal man.
Either that or just pure determination to NEVER QUIT!
I literally came here to verify his health after seeing his monstrous winning record and losses.
@@LordDirus007 His longevity and his clear mind are undoubtedly due to his old school defensive skills. He also trained hard and lived clean.
@@LordDirus007 Yes, Archie had love in his heart for life.
@Chris Tasse He took a beating against Rocky and kept getting up. Definitely a different breed. Lived through the Great Depression and WW2.
You could actually argue that Archie Moore is the greatest boxer of all time.
And you wouldn't be wrong
INDEED👌🏿!
Good list
@Chris Tasse Archie is in a class all by himself! What he did at an old age was incredible. Especially back in those days without all the comfort and medical treatment. I really admire him!
no argument here ,one of the greatest for sure.
I'm 20 and I love these og boxers talk. much knowledge
Ty the Boxer Same here bro, the old school fighters were a real piece of work.
I never saw my Dad cry,until Archie Moore passed away.I never seen Him fight,but after seeing this video,I am understanding why,my Dad loved Him so.
We all did buddy.
damn this man has class. what a remarkable man.
I love Archie...What a great human being...And I like his vocabulary , hearing words I have not heard in a long time, as he effortlessly cruises thru this interview as he cruised thru 12 rounds of boxing...
Man I liked that guy! He was truly a special human being.
I am 37 now, the age this man was when he finally got a title shot. Moore is an inspiration.
Archie Moore defined and till defines what a champion is! His character was the only thing greater than his boxing prowess. I'm certain that there are literally thousands of people in the world today that flourish because of his efforts long ago. What a legend, and what a legacy.
indeed Sir and well said
What a man , this guy is not only a great boxer but an inspiration to all people ,with his selfless work and humanitarian approach to life,I would have been proud to have met him,God bless him.
This is truly the Black yoda man.
Wow, this interview was amazing.
It touches on Life and death
Childhood adversity
Politics: Perone Argentina
Boxing history
Character building organizations for kids.
archie i wish you were around today we need people like you. your awesome my friend and a great boxer
Archie Moore is a legend in boxing. Thank you for sharing this interview. Even after 200 professional fights, at the highest level, he remained a well-spoken, highly intelligent man.
Legend! beautiful poem at end. Rip Archie.
One hell of a human being love him R.I.P. Champ.
One of the best of all time, without question.
i love Archie Moore. A brilliant fighter and great man to listen to in interviews.
Who is the one person who gave a thumbs down to this interview....who is it? let him come forth out of the darkness and show himself!
It was the ghost of Archie.
Unsatisfied with the interview and it's perfectionism.
He knows it coulda been better!!
One of the greatest ever!
The great "Old Mongoose" sat in the corner of George Foreman. Knocked the great Rocky Marciano down and Rocky Marciano got a long count (no disrespect to Rocky Marciano). This guy was such an amazing human being. Strong physically, mentally, morally and spiritually. And did it all with a good sense of humor. Fought the great Ali (his student) and he was so far past his prime. Wanted to smack the young braggadocious Ali in the face for acting in such a manner. This guy was "class act" personified. He is an example of what it means to be a human being with remarkable faith in God and willing to work hard and never giving up. "THE OLD MONGOOSE."
Ali paid his toll when his pupil- a young Larry Holmes would batter him.
@@fredflux2738 But, you know, it is a Catch-22 for boxers fighting on their way out. The up and coming boxer must perform his trade an skill. The older boxer chose to be in the ring, probably for a pay day. And, people paid to watch. And, the old champion has the potential to have a punch left in him. The young guy is forced to hit an old man and look like a villain. Marciano boxing an old Joe Louis, the same thing. Marciano cried after the fight, having to punch out his idol, and an American icon and hero.
The Mongoose, my Grandfather's favorite fighter. Excellent interview!
He was a great fighter and a great man. Learned a lot about him in 1/2 hour that I didn't know. God Bless you Archie..
I live for these types of videos. You can't beat the class of old fighter's from the past
i cannot get over this interview,what a great man i almost cried.
Extremely enlightening interview. Archie Moore was amazing in and out of the ring.
Classy as ever.
The boxers boxer, he's the epitome of a professional boxer. Hardest working and arguably most durable boxer in history, 220 professional fights. Lived to be in his mid 80s with zero neurological or cognitive impairment.
What a great man, dosent care about money and uses it to help people.
In his words ‘ money is just a medium’
More people in the world need to hear this today
Wow, extraordinary. The wisdom of age and experience.
what an awe inspiring human being Archie was! And how like him to change Any Boy Can to Anybody Can. he is absolutely right: not to have a teacher in your life such as him does mean that you're deprived. genuinely uplifting. thank you.
This guy is awesome. I find that so many boxers back then had so much class and honor and respect for others. It is really inspiring.
This was a great interview and shows why his legacy continues to this day in the foundation he started over 65 years ago. Any Body Can Youth Foundation is still here fighting for our youth.
the great archie moore what a fighter he was.
A very intelligent Man.
Thanks for uploading.
The greatest man in boxing history
How can you not like Archie moore, a truly great man.
Archibald Lee Wright.
Good rest you, Archie. You did yourself proud.
What a beautiful soul, you gotta love Archie Moore, great fighter in and out of the ring
great man and fighter, still no-one can hold a candle to the greatest. WALKER SMITH (AKA Sugar ray robinson)
Man could fight any stance, any angle, ko with either hand, had it all, 132 kos, one of the best to ever do it.
@23:02 We need more people like this guy. What a legend!
Great boxer and humanitarian! Respect!!
notice that fighters are often soft spoken teddy bears, they get man's natural aggression in the ring.
the days of 'Gentlemen fighters' ; long gone.........
Archie was some kind of superman.. He look like he never boxed.
Great Man, I'm glad I watched the interview. It's always fun learning about prominent people of the past.💯🙏🏾
The Mongoose is my all time favorite boxer. LEGEND
A 10 YEAR, 10 year Light Heavyweight champion who took the strap off Joey Maxim at the age of 39... his loss to Charlie Burley, a murderer's row fighter (blacks forced to fight each other because sure as heck anyone else ducked them)... is one of the few legit losses in his prime. Extraordinary fighter and man! Actor... the whole deal. A definite GOAT contender... a man who told Ali he'd better develop his chin to face the future... this man fought so long... he was probably older than Foreman was when he fought Marciano for heavyweight and rocked the young man's world without clinching the win.
I learned a new word, "Venerable".
This word should be more or less unknown because only a few, such as Archie Moore should be mentioned with this description.
wow, he had everything that makes someone great!!!
Born and raised in Vallejo Ca. Man I’m bout to go down a rabbit hole!
Class act...great man for all to wittness and be inspired by...u can't think or say anything else about him after seeing and hearing this man...regardless of color...its just great that he is black and to know we produce these kind of people...he is a surviver and fighter and a great 1as we all should be...who are or where are the rest of humanity who share views experience and opinions that are white or another race?im sure when 1 experiences this man they wish they where related to him as if he was their family.thats the mark of a man.nobody wants to be like these white men of yesteryear or today that I see and or none in comparison to a man like this.
Thanks so much for posting this
One of a kind of a man !
what an amazing man..
Archie moore a legend great man
That poem was great rip
because its rare to see class nowadays...u no and i no
Roy Jones reminds me so much of Mr Moore 🥊❤️💪💯
AWESOME!
That poem is beautiful.
A true gentleman :)
won the title and received 800 dollars wow
800 $ back then was like 80,000 bread cost 15¢ back then
Yea 800 back then was a lot
@@dantedlane2 It was a lot but not no damn $80k. Look at an inflation calculator. More like $7.7k. Which is shit for a championship fight.
At the time Archie was an unknown. He got the title and probably went on to make millions
They don’t make em like this man anymore
Legend
For sure , incredible man
THIS is a man boys and girls. THIS is a role model. We could use 1,000 Archie Moore's today.
Very wise, very very wise. I can’t believe he’s a boxer, I thought he was a scholar.
Greatest of all time as a boxer & a MAN
I do wish the interviewer would shut his mouth and let Moore do the talking
HUH??????????????
Number 1. I'm black myself.
Number 2. Class has nothing to do with skin color, anyone can be classy. I simply said Archie was extremely classy.
why is it every time a smart kind black guy speaks we have too say how classy he is like its a shock that a black guy can be smart and classy.
I didn't know black ppl couldn't be classy ok
Because the world doesn't show and promote these types of black men that whenever u see one in any era of time u appreciate it.
Because the black people you see in the inner cities these days behave crazy and say the n word and bruh every sentence.
If people say he's classy you say this. If people didn't say he was classy, you'd say it's because he's black. Can't win.
Ali was Very influenced by Archie,his poem at the end is very similar to Ali's 'recipe for life' poem
Perfect gentelman,and great champion.
this should be shown to all the new crass punks
I’d love to know what the tunes called that plays near the beginning of this clip, very soothing
Very articulate man
RIP legend 🙏🏼 🥊
it aint the world its the cruel people in the world
Very articulate.
OMG what a spiritual Interview with a true fighting Gentleman. No WONDER this man was a LIFES WINNER!!!
a great man.
top boxer top MAN
Is it just me or did they use to count a little fast back in the day? ref was going really fast compared to today lol
Money is just a medium
He looked like Bubba from Sanford and Son.
"I want my daddy's records". Lol
16:00 to 20:00
Great man that Archie! Jim Day...on the other hand wasn't a good interviewer...rambles on with questions and then interrupts...not letting the man answer his question...interrupting with some other question!!
💯
✊🏽
I expected this guy to sound like a mumble mouth slurring boxer who clearly has mental problems. But damn, this guy is a better speaker than I am.
15:30 story about Clay, truthful, funny and poignant to that Los Angeles 1962 pre fight scene. I admire Ali (Clay) but wish Archie had actually slapped his childish ass for mimicking him.
He favors Theloneous monk
He's looks like a kinder gentler Wolverine
Definitely no disrespect intended

Sugar Ray Robinson
music at 1:39 ?
Have you ever noticed when you shave your butt your farts are louder?
@@GuyFromTheSouth when you shave what?
Sorry about your journalist colleague but nobody tunes in to see you guys, you are not the story, though you often think you are. Let's see Archie Moore.
