Yup, Archie could punch, just saying dmar, folks shouldn't be mislead into thinking that because Archie had 131 KO's he was some kind of knockout artist, he really wasn't. The most amazing thing about Archie Moore was his longevity as a Pro, few, if any can equal that. He began his pro career in 1935 and ended it, 219 fights and almost 28 years later, in 1963.
