Prime Archie Moore vs Prime Oleksandr Usyk

In terms of head to head against each other: Usyk wins.

In terms of career success they each had theirs in different weight classes. Moore was most succesful at light heavyweight while Usyk was successful at Cruiserweight and Heavyweight.

Usyk stands four inches taller with the longer reach, is the naturally bigger man who fought in higher weight divisions comfortably never losing. Usyk even went into other people's backyards and took decisions.

Moore weighed around 190 when he faced Marciano and lost.

The question here being: Did Moore's skillset overcome his physical limitations allowing him to have the same success Usyk has has enjoyed in a higher weight?

The answer here being: No.

 

Usyk points, but stoppage is there if he wants it

 

Usyk stops him way too big and skilled plus Moore isn't experienced with fighting southpaws so Usyk would find the home for his left hand pretty easily

 

Usyk.

I wouldn't pick any LHW to beat Usyk, although I would not count Charles out of any fight, either.

 

Usyk stops Archie Moore? Really? One needs to have seen Moore box before making such a decision.

 

Moore had over 60 wins at Heavyweight and beat over 20+ fighters who weighed 200+ pounds including the likes of Nino Valdes who was 6'3 200+.

Usyk has never come close to fighting someone of Moore's level at Cruiserweight it's a very close fight.

 

What are you asking exactly?

Who had the better career?

Who ranks higher?

Who would have won in a H2H fight?

 

Is Moore adjusted to the modern era though?

 

Usyk has fought 23 pro fights.

Archie fought 220 fights.

And against guys like a prime Ali, when he was in his 40’s.

Context is needed.

 

Nobody here believes that you are knowledgable of the career of Archie Moore.

 

Am I wrong though?

 

Absolutely.

Archie was immensely skilled.

It would have been a great fight. Especially at CW.

 

Archie was an expert at neutralizing the jab,but the problem is Usyk being a southpaw,60/50 although I lean more to Archie for power.

 

He lost anytime he stepped up to challenge for the title at heavyweight though. I also don't think the cross shell style that he used would work against a southpaw.
