If Archie Moore was on his best night at heavy….

How well would he do against Joe Frazier ?

 

I don't see it. Frazier was so strong and relentless. I could see Archie with his skill hanging in there for a bit but ultimately Frazier's pressure wears Moore out.

 

Not too well

 

You don’t think he might have done a little more than say Ellis or quarry ?

 

He does better than Bob Foster, that's for sure (imo). I think Moore could last as long as he did with Marciano. Moore was highly skilled, but due to the styles and Frazier's punching power, I think he eventually gets to Moore and stops him mid to late rounds

 

I think he could have done better than Ellis or Foster. I don't think he could have hung in there the way Quarry did though. Not implying Quarry is better than Moore because he's not but he was better at being a HW

 

Not good, he's a L-HW...

and that is the best realistic place to leave All Fighters, in their Levelled Off Natural Weight Givision, , not Up, not Down!

 

I think the best heavyweight version of Moore would beat Quarry

 

Moore was actually pretty good as a heavyweight. He lost to Marciano, Floyd Patterson and when he was almost 50 years old, lost to a young Cassius Clay. Not a bad lot to lose to. Seems he only lost to the best.

 

He DID have a record of 46-4-4-26 at heavyweight or something close to that. Beat a lot of ranked contenders.

 

Moore’s record at heavyweight is better than a lot of men’s who spent their whole career there

 

Moore is a decent heavy but it's a bad matchup here.

 

I think Moore would get to Frazier and might even bust him up a bit but the pressure will prove too much by the eighth round or so.

 

I don't see Archie lasting past the 6th round tbh.
He may win those first few rounds, sometimes Joe could take a while to crank up, but once Frazier gets going, it's the beginning of the end.
