as the dylan song about davey moore was never released by dylan until 1991, it's pretty hard to believe it became a number one hit in 1963, although he did perform the song through most of 1963-64.

_ _ Who says '91? I never heard him live, and stopped following him long before '91, but i don't have to look up this lyric:

Who killed Davey Moore?

How'd he die, and what's the reason for?

and verses (one abt the ref, one abt his manager?) that echo "Who killed Cock Robin?"

_ _ Check his first couple LPs again... from Columbia, maybe?

I know about this person only the song, & what i found in the article that i renamed to The Boxers Davey Moore, and roughly the first half of that has been moved into this talk page's article, with an opening 'graph based on refactoring part of the same article.

From Wikipedia:Cleanup/July

Check the facts in case as seems likely the "#1 hit" by Bob Dylan was removed based on a mistaken belief about its release date. Fix, somehow, "died two days later while fighting for his life". Is there such a thing as "double passive voice"? Even if not, something still desperately needs fixing in 'graph beginning "In 1962, ...".

Remove for style/POV reasons

After winning one fight in [[1963]], Moore's luck ran out: He was faced with ''[[Sugar Ramos]]'', in a nationally televised fight. The public, which was just recovering from the horror of seeing ''[[Benny Paret|Benny the "Kid" Paret]]'' being pounded to death on national [[television]] just one year before, witnessed Moore being pounded against his own corner in the fight against Ramos. Several people, though generally not Ramos himself, have been blamed for not stopping the fight. Moore lost the fight officially by a knockout in the tenth, and died two days later at a medical center in Los Angeles.

"Requiem for the Masses"

You missed out on one little subject. I learned that the band, The Association, wrote a song called "Requiem for the Masses" in 1967; the lyrics of the song, which featured a Gregorian chant, originally dealt with the death of boxer Davey Moore. The proof is in the link here. And here are the lyrics for the song. What do you think? --Angeldeb82 01:18, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Timing Issues

I don't know a great deal on the matter, but I do know that a fight originally scheduled for July 1963 could not have been postponed to March 1963.

But wait, were the two Davey Moores related?

I have read this article as well as Davey Moore (boxer, born 1959). Both articles note that there were two boxers with the same name. The younger Davey was born before the elder died. Surprisingly, neither article definitively states their relation (or lack thereof).

I suppose I wish that the article would simply state either that "one was the other's son" or that "despite similar names, they are unrelated." 74.110.147.28 (talk) 21:05, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
