    It's an unfair question for Archie. He would be just outgunned by the more recent heavies. A David Tua likely would splatter him. Could he drag even a Bruno into deeper waters? The bigger elite boxer-types of the 80's, Thomas, Tubbs, Dokes... at their rare best might have too much for him when combing their skill, speed, talent...and size.

    Andrew Golota. Too big, too strong, too Polish.

    Unfair Thread for Moore. He can’t possibly compete with the modern big skilled men

    Pre 1980 moore would do very well


    I could easily name 20 heavyweights who would beat Sam Langford as well

    What's unfair about it? Nine of those I gave were pre 1960's.

    No. Golota would find a way to lose. Archie would hang in there and Andrew would snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Chris Byrd stood with Golota for 12.

    I’d reckon Archie could as well.
