    Old mongoose meets the real deal who you got!? Personally I think it’s a stylistic nightmare for Evander. Moore by decision.

    You don’t think Moore’s defensive style gives Holyfield fits? Not knocking either way Holyfield’s an ATG. Rationale is based on Holyfield’s struggles w Dwight and although old Byrd. And Moore is better then both.

    For me Evander is a top ten all time heavyweight and that is where I am rating him. Moore is not top twenty imo .His chin wasn't too clever either.

    Evander by unanimous

    Archie was similar to Toney and could do what Toney did to Evander in 2003 but the 90-93 Holyfield definitely beats Archie

    I def wouldn’t put Moore against a heavy hitter like Tyson or foreman. This was more of a styles matchup to me that was def winnable for Moore. And I def put Holyfield in my top ten HW.

    Depends. Is this fight at heavyweight or at cruiser weight?

    At cruiser weight, Moore may indeed have won a hard fought decision. At heavyweight, I don't necessarily think that Evander was better than Moore, but he'd be bigger and stronger so that makes me say Holyfield via UD or late round TKO

    I understand your analysis and it is correct, I can see Archie launching some nasty counters into Evanders jaw. But , he'd be engaging in a fight he can't win , Evander is relentless and would wear him down despite Archie's good moments. Now if both guys were 40? I'd take Archie everyday and twice on Sunday

    I agree with the OP. Nightmarish contest for Holyfield. Gorgeous trilogy.

    I got Evander via late KO after Moore is ahead on points

    I agree if you mean at cruiser. At heavyweight I think Holyfield would win decisively enough the first time around
