Re: Archie Moore at his very best vs....
Well, when Archie was at his peak as a heavyweight, he lost to Marciano and Patterson, so why they are even on the list is beyond me. The same Moore who beat Valdes, Baker, DeJohn, etc. was the same Moore who lost to them. I think he has a good chance of making Johansson look like an amateur, but if he gets caught with 'The Hammer of Thor', its anyone's guess what could happen. Ali outboxes him in a close, but unaminous decision. Frazier stops him in around ten rounds. Quarry and Moore have a barnburner of a fight, with Archie pulling off a decision victory by a narow margin.yancey wrote:Rocky Marciano

Re: Archie Moore at his very best vs....
As a genuine light heavy, he stands a good chance against any and all. Including Tunney and Charles.
But against the very best of the HW's such as Ali, Frazier and Quarry?.....not so.
He is my favorite fighter of all time.

Re: Archie Moore at his very best vs....
He wasnt a heavyweight prior to that, was he? Except for maybe a handful of times against no-namers? I can't see the LHW or MW "prime" Moore being capable of doing the job any better than he was at 40. It was solely his experience that made him a damn good heavyweight.MEISINGER wrote:so moore was at his peak at 40 years old and 180 plus fights when he fought patterson?HomicideHenry wrote:Well, when Archie was at his peak as a heavyweight, he lost to Marciano and Patterson, so why they are even on the list is beyond me.
