Moore had a decent HW run, although he always failed against the very best. He was hittable enough to be caught by Dempsey in top shape. I'd pick Jack to score a KO.

I think Dempsey would wreck Moore frankly. Moore was dangerous enough that Dempsey probably would have to be somewhat careful, and not just run right in, but I think if they fought 20 times Dempsey would win almost always.

That's Rocky Marciano replica fight all over again. A very entertaining scrap, but the great Jack Dempsey win by knockout.

The Old Mongoose would have his moments taking an early lead by jabbing and countering Dempsey with heavy punches, but Dempsey would rally back in the middle rounds with body punches after headhunting Moore, then knocking Ancient Archie out in the late rounds.
