That and circumstances. Armstrong's schedule was crazy at that time, his scar tissue was just waiting to be torn by a man like Zivic.
The argument in bullet points is: - Pep was never the same after enduring a plane crash and was in decline - Pep beat many more rated contenders...
Nah. You could argue Johnson was mildly inexperienced in the first fight (where he was 24-0) but that's it. Johnson fought Moore three times in a...
Moore beat a very good version of Bivins at least twice. Johnson was as good as he was ever going to get and had five shots at Moore, winning...
I'd say he was in his prime. Really, Moore's prime could span '45 to '55, being a late bloomer, his best run (54-2-1 from '48 to '55) attributed...
Funny because today that's what stood out to me, too. Moore was quite a perfect fighter whose weaknesses were an average durability and...
Seems like you're saying Willard could win. His chances wouldn't be very good. Moore would enjoyed a lovely feast. Patterson was quick, skillful...
Well, I would have him lower but it seems harsh on Dempsey as there is little difference between the two records. I give Dempsey the benefit of...
Circumstantial maybe. I could see Moore thrashing an inactive Willard to a late stoppage.
Well, around 15-20 or something. Moore for me would be the #2 light heavyweight, say #16 at heavyweight and #20 at middleweight. Seems reasonable.
Moore at one point went 54-2-1 (disqualification and decision loss) between light heavyweight and heavyweight and went 10-1 against Hall of Famers...
Boxers who were at some point RING rated as beaten by Moore (Hall of Famers in bold): Sammy Slaughter Ron Richards (x2) Johnny Romero Jack Chase...
That's the big question... Not sure yet. I suppose Moore would be above or below by a space? Big call, but the opponents are up there for...
Yeah there will inevitably be a few crap ones in there but if they were top ten rated, even in a weak era it shows they had a pulse. To beat such...
Sharkey is the best between them I think. Moore didn't shock anyone as significant as Fulton in one round, but I definitely think he had wins...
