    Really not sure if this is a total blowout from the bigger, hard hitting, modern.. Ish day heavyweight against a blown up light heavy, who was ancient!?
    Or not??
    Anyway, Archie Moore at his heavyweight best v Tommy Morrison.. Who takes it?

    Mick gets savagely slept within 4 rounds.. Early 90's Morrison?? Yeah , that's a write-off for Moorer.

    Archie by KO. At his best he would embarrass Morrison.

    Archie would clown Morrison. Sure it is possible that Tommy lands a big left hook and he certainly had the power to hurt anyone but I believe it would be more likely that Archie makes him look silly.

    He would last more than 2 rounds outboxing Morrison like a novice and Morrison would lose his gastank (as always). Late stoppage for Moore.

    Archie has a chance, but Morrison is too big, too fast and way too powerful.

    From boxing standpoint Morrison had skills, only Lennox Lewis made him look silly, and Moore doesn't have what Lewis had.

    Morrison pretty much out boxed Mercer, who had decent skills, Foreman, and Ruddock. His chin and stamina were issues to those who could take his power, or get into the later rounds.

    Yeah, Morrison was caught early by Bentt. I think Moore has an early KO loss to in 1 round to Morrow at light heavy.

    It wouldn't be funny for Morrison at all.

    I've got to say, Moore was level s above Tommy, think that's obvious to most, but he's punching above his weight all round here.
    Morrison stops him early imo.

    Who and where was that person ranked at heavyweight when the fight happened?

    Moore is punching up 2 weight classes here.
