Archie Moore was perhaps the most kind, interesting. entrepreneurial, good hearted, humble man boxing has ever seen. who in their right mind would want to disrespect the great iconic Archie Moore?

Where was clays respect for his elders?
What else you going to bring up? Ali trained with Archie Moore and had a lot of respect for him.
THAT IS PURE bull. Archie Moore gave an interview to Howard Cosell saying in HIS gym where clay trained, they had rules that all boxers pitched in and helped clean up and cook and wash dishes in the kitchen. He said cassius clay was too arrogant and refused to help around the gym, refused to clean up and wash dishes, etc.. AND THAT HE DIDNT LIKE CLAY'S ATTITUDE. @Master have you not heard all these things about clay?
Brock is 100% right, George Plimpton went into that in his book "Shadow Box", which is a great read for any boxing fan.
