    Most of the top ten would beat him. Archie didn't have the chin to hang in there, and he's giving up 30-40 pounds.

    Joshua
    Povetkin
    Parker
    Wilder
    Fury ( In mental and physical shape ), two big if's

    I'd favor Miller.

    Whyte? I think he's win too.

    Ortiz? Well I guess we are assuming Archie at his best and the division now. So I'll go with him as I think Ortiz is done.

    I think out of this lot his best chance would be against Povetkin he couldn`t open Archie up because he doesn`t set his punches up with the jab and I don`t think Ortiz would stop Archie because when he had Wilder hurt he was far too slow in getting off and the punch that decked Marciano would of decked Ortiz also, I feel Fury would be over defensive and running too much against Moore and he doesn`t have the punch to hurt Archie while his own chin is suspect after he was decked by a bum like Steve Cunningham only problem for Moore would be Fury`s much longer reach.

    I'd favour prime HW Moore over Povetkin right now without too much concern.

    Could Moore ever be described as prime while a heavyweight?

    Joshua fury wilder all destroy Moore. Modern super heavyweights with speed athleticism power and skill. Way too much

    Whyte parker and Miller also defeat Moore. Too much size and power


    Moore would beat

    Breazeale
    kownacki
    39 year old povetkin
    Pulev


    Moore beats 4 of the top 10

    Really? Archie did not have a good heavyweight chin.

    To review Archie was stopped by Bivins, Booker and Charles, who hit no where near as hard as Povektin.

    A boxer named Leonard Morrow ( 11-2-1 ) stopped Moore...in ONE Round

    Patterson destroyed him. Rocky took a while to stop Moore ,mostly because he was sloppy an inaccurate that night.

    Povetkin is accurate, with a good chin and would have a large weight advantage. He's also a knockout puncher, who targets the head or body well.

    Basically if Moore was up and down vs. light heavyweight Durelle, let's be honest he's not lasting with most skilled heavyweights today or Povekin.

    Povetkin has taken out durable heavyweight like Wach and Duhaupas. Those two have excellent chins. Povetkin would beat Moore.
