Photograph inscribed and signed: "Regards to/Jim Wiggins/Archie Moore/3-4-60". B/w, 8x10,
Archie Moore (1914-1998) was World Light Heavyweight Champion from 1952-1960. His
first professional bout was in 1936 at age 22. Moore fought 220 times with a record 145
KOs. He is the only boxer to have fought both Rocky Marciano (1955) and Muhammad
Ali (1962), losing to both. (Ali, still known then as Cassius Clay, predicted correctly, "Archie
Moore must fall in four." (Moore had been Clay's trainer for a while, but quit for several
reasons, including Moore's insistence that the young fighter wash the dishes at training camp.)
Moore retired after losing that fight, and turned to writing and acting. He received excellent
reviews for his role as Jim, the runaway slave, in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in 1960
and guest starred in television series in both dramatic and comedic parts. Corners lightly
creased. Surface creases not seen head on. Otherwise, fine condition.
