    I know that Archie Moore was old when he fought pre prime Muhammad Ali, in 1962, but movement and speed bothered him in that fight. He suffered a TKO 4, in that fight in Los Angeles, California. I wonder what lesser speed that Tunney possessed would be against a great light heavyweight in Archie Moore, who was a natural at that weight.

    On point sir, and were Marciano was more of a stalker, waiting for the opening, Frazier was a pressure fighter, and relentless, forcing his opponents to fight, and Moore would try to do that. It would cost him. Moore was a master boxer, with great power, but his foot speed was average. That cross arm defense would prove in effective against the timing , and ability of Frazier to reload his hooks so quickly.
    The size,strength , relentlessness of Frazier would wear Moore down, he wouldn't see the 10th rd.

    I picked Joe Frazier by TKO.. Archie Moore would be a game opponent though

    Frazier would be too," full on," for Moore to handle, his speed into attack would have Archie struggling .Crossarms defence would have Archie's midsection open for Frazier's hooks.Joe scores a ko inside 8rds.
