Archie Moore was cut from the cloth were fighters fight for a living ... every month ... sometimes a couple times a month.
They were rough, tough men who were still considered "green" when they had less than 40 fights ... unlike today's fighters, who fight once every year (or two years) and call themselves "veterans" with 20-30 fights.
If I am not mistaken, Archie Moore had almost 150 fights, and was in his late-30s, by the time he got his FIRST title fight ...
He would have been a phenom today ...
