Archie Moore was the longest reigning World Light Heavyweight Champion of all time (December 1952-May 1962). He had one of the longest professional careers in the history of the sport, competing from 1935 to 1963. Nicknamed The Mongoose, and then The Old Mongoose in the latter half of his career, Moore was a highly strategic and defensive boxer, with a strong chin and unusual resilience.
A story of grit, determination and drive, The Archie Moore Story is full of inspiration and positivity much like Moore himself. Growing up in poverty, Moore rose up through the ranks of professional boxing but definitely had to pay his dues in getting to the top of his field. Moore was denied a shot at the world title for over ten years, and spent many of those years fighting on the road with little to show for it.
Ranked on The Ring's list of 100 greatest punchers of all time, Moore was also a trainer for a short time after retirement, training Muhammad Ali, George Foreman and James Tillis.
