I will probably be in the minority (and am comfortable with that) and take a Schmeling decision here. I think he would be able to control the range and make Moore force the fight. Schmeling carefully picks his moments on his way to a 9-6 decision
Max had the tools to beat Archie. He was a very intrlligent, well-trained boxer/puncher. Max by late round stoppage.
I actually see Schmeling as being half a class above Moore! I think that he was better than Walcott and Charles as well.
Max at his best beat Joe Louis,,,,that should answer any questions about Archie beating him. Max by KO in 8
