Archie Moore vs. Marcel Cerdan

Since I pick Archie to beat Zale ,and I think ,prime for prime Zale beats Cerdan,I pick the Mongoose again.

 

I take it that last statement was a joke? Around here you never know...

 

One a light-heavy, the other a middleweight... I get the idea this is a joke? Or maybe not? Around here you never know when someone is joking.

 

Zale is never beating Cerdan, nor LaMotta on even terms, but Moore would be too big & strong...

unless weight was too much too soon to cut. Cerdan would fight him well & sure enough, I just can't see it though with Moore.

 

Yes I saw the fight, Zale was washed up at that point.

 

Archie Moore was the number one middle weight contender in1942 ,when Zale was champion.

 

Zale beats Cerdan but loses to Jake imo.I'm presuming we are talking about the middle weight version of Moore?

 

What?

 

Zale has been dead for 24 years.

 

Maybe so, but that's not what people think of when they use him in fantasy matchups. He was known for his work at LT. Heavy not middle.

 

Then clarification from the OP is needed.If Moore is at175 then its no contest imo.

 

Ron Davis might well be in his 70s or older, what is so unlikely about that... even if he is younger, it doesn't mean he didn't know Zale well, loads of people grew up in neighbourhoods equally lived in by notable people. quite normal, famous people have neighbours, friends, family, relatives and friends of family.

why would you even think to question that???

 

I was touching on that .
