'''Archie Moore''', who had more known knockouts than any other boxer in history, claimed that he was born December 13, 1916, but his mother said that he was born December 13, 1913. He was also said to have been born in Collinsville, Illinois. <br />
<br />
Moore's early boxing career is still being researched, as of 2011. (One recent discovery: He fought a 3-round exhibition with Sammy Jackson on December 8, 1936 in St. Louis. This fight may have been previously listed incorrectly as occurring on December 3, 1936, but as a six-rounder instead of 3 rounds.)<br />
<br />
His record against heavyweights is impressive 65-3-2.<br />
<br />
He died December 9, 1998 of heart failure.<br />
<br />
<br />
* 2006 [[California Boxing Hall of Fame]] Inductee<br />
* Voted "Light Heavyweight Fighter of the Century" by the Associated Press in 1999.<br />
