Yes, in fact I think his prime was as a middleweight. Off the top of my head, I'd say he was probably a middleweight for about 8 years, maybe more. Even for a lot of his early fights at light-heavyweight he weighed about 165 pounds, so he really was a super-middleweight.bollocks wrote:Watched a series tonight called Behind The Fights and Marciano was featured. Showed quite a biit of the Archi Moore fight. Jimmy Breslin? was host with some other guy. Breslin claimed that Moore was actually a middleweight who had to move up as everyone was scared to face him. Never heard this one before. Anybody else heard this?
BTW, I have some highlights of his fights with Australian Ron Richards, which took place at middleweight.
