Moore, Archie

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.04 sec.

Moore, Archie (1913–1998)

US boxer. As articulate as he was clever, as colourful as he was tough, he fought until the age of 49, compiling one of the most astonishing records in boxing history, with 199 victories (145 knockouts), 26 losses, and 8 draws.

Moore was born in Benoit, Wisconsin, or Collinsville, Illinois. He began boxing professionally in 1936, but it was 1952 before he gained a world title, the light heavyweight (1952–62). He twice fought for the heavyweight championship, losing to ‘Rocky’ Marciano in 1955 and to Floyd Patterson in 1956.
