    Lol interesting one....Moore because Tyson was completely shot by then and Archie was still beating ranked contenders.

    You are under no obligation to reply, nothing wrong with something a bit different and putting past prime versions against each other in fantasy fights.

    I have to take Moore here, especially if he gets through the early rounds, Tyson will likely fold mentally if not physically as well, Archie was as tough as they come.

    Moore should win. He was old and past it but he still had some pride.
    Tyson in 2005 (v McBride) really didn't give a ****. He didn't want to be there.

    In all the boxing imagination, the fights you guys think about is geriatric Tyson vs. Beyond Geriatric Moore? 95 Bowe vs brain dying 81 Ali? Any fighter vs fatass Tubbs or Witherspoon? C'mon man!! Have turned this forum into the dim witted ghetto of boxing forums.

    Yeah thats the other way it could go, Tyson gets him out early. He definitely hit McBride with some flush shots before losing it and quitting.

    Moore was pretty damn old too by this point, and as I've said before Tyson is perhaps the single worst heavyweight to fight at a significant weight disadvantage -though this characteristic might be greatly diminished by his shot reflexes and neglected technique.
    Tyson KO 7 is my best guess.

    Tyson couldn't get McBride out of there because he was winging with arm punches and not planting his feet. The knee surgery bothered him. Know-it-alls forget that. Besides, Mike was shutting him out anyways so it wasn't as if Mike was getting battered around the ring.

    Moore is right there to be hit.

    And for some unknown reason I am not allowed to post threads, can only respond to the posted ones. I do not understand why? I supposedly have insufficient privileges to post. Go figure.
