ARCHIE MOORE HAS MOST KNOCKOUTS IN A CAREER

Archie Moore Has Most Knockouts in a Career


This is one record that will never be possible for present-day professional fighters to surpass. In a career that covered three decades, "The Old Mongoose" Archie Moore was a top-rated fighter from middleweight to heavyweight and won 183 professional fights, 131 by knockout.  Moore was a cunning veteran fighter who carried his power with him as he moved up in weight. He is considered by many as the greatest light heavyweight to ever live and held the title in that division for the last decade of his career, while clashing with the top fighters of the heavyweight division in some instances.  Moore has the distinction also as the only fighter to have fought both Muhammad Ali and Rocky Marciano.
