Timeless Classics from Long Ago

One of the scariest fights I have ever seen. YOu dont wanna get anywhere between these 2 dudes when they are swinging!

If Williams Liston were on a dessert menu, it would be a gourmet treat! Totally shows how under rated Liston was as a polished fighter. I saw an interview of Liston who stated his fight with Williams is what gave him the confidence he could beat anybody.

Liston: "Cleveland Williams was a good fighter, very strong, he had muscles everywhere. Muscles coming out his ass"
I think he was the 1st boxer I ever heard curse (from old era)

I fear Archie's cognitive abilities were the result of not just his career overall, but that final round, my goodness, Rock is unloading nonstop, throwing his weight behind every shot.

And Archie was still trying to time him, he nailed Rocky with two really powerful straight right punches right on the button, but Marciano just acted like he didn't feel it

Archie Moore was a top trainer after he retired from boxing so Rocky did not cause that much damage.

100% true, Archie was very articulate and well-spoken and he was a man of letters. A very interesting guy who used to study all subjects under the sun and he even spent time in Australia with the Aborigines to learn special diets and special healing properties of plants and foods.

I saw an interview with Archie Moore from the 1990s and he was still very articulate and well spoken and he did not slur his words or show any sign of damage at all

Correct. I was watching a bit of an old Joe Louis talk while watching this and mixed up the two. Truth be told I can't say I remember how Archie Moore talked, only watched his fights not interviews.
But that 9th round, I just watched it again, my lord Archie was in the frying pan with the heat turned up, grease poppin!
