December will Always be Archie Moore’s Month

A May-December romance usually refers to, uh, a mature man involved with a much younger woman. Think 59-year-old Cary Grant wooing and winning 24-year-old Audrey Hepburn in 1963’s “Charade.” But, hey, he was Cary Grant. If any old coot was going to get the girl by the time the final credits rolled, it was the suave guy whose birth name was Archibald Leach.

The late, great Archie Moore (birth name: Archibald Lee Wright) had a torrid May-December love affair with boxing, but over time fight fans came to mostly forget about the May portion of his remarkable career.
