1955 Archie Moore vs Carl Williams

Uugghh

 

He could ,Williams didn't have the best of chins ,but he had a great jab.Close decision win, for one or other lol

 

I think Archie sets traps on the guy and late in the fight when Williams' hands are below his waist, he gets stopped.

 

Solid win for Carl. Can't see Archie flooring Carl, but can see Carl spearing him all night with the jab. Williams UD Moore.

 

These time travel bouts just don't take enough into account of the weight/ size difference.
Williams out jabs a guy 2 weights below him.

 

“Can’t see Archie flooring Williams”

Why not? Archie could hit. Williams couldn’t take a punch

 

Carl would find a way to survive. Nothing against Archie, but Carl's pride would be on the line as well, so he would find a way to nullify Archie.

 

Ok that’s fair, just making sure you’re not questioning Archie’s power. Archie was a big hitter

 

One of the big factors, to me anyway, was that Williams was just not a raise to the occasion kind of guy. Give him a silver platter and he does not take advantage. I think that part of his tool chest is lacking & absolutely needed to beat a guy like the old mongoose.

 

Can see Carl getting a point s win ,but along the way maybe having to pick him self up .If Archie could drop Marciano then he has a chance of the same with Williams .

 

The way a prime Williams gave Larry Holmes such a close fight, and the way Carl badly beat up the smaller Bert Cooper, I would have to make Williams the favorite here to win a decision.
