Archie Moore was the trainer of my late Uncle "Kid Huff" Light heavy weight Champion Of Oklahoma. Kid Huff's Heavyweight prize fighting life was cut short when he broke his hand in a dough machine at his parents bakery. Tought break for "Huff" but wonderful memories to be told about the early years of boxing. Thank You Archie Moore your legend still goes on for me.
