    Lol he has one of the best HW resumes of any contender ever. I’d challenge you to find many if any that have a better claim on paper as to best to never win it. He beat plenty of large men. To think Archie doesn’t have a chance here is to really not know boxing. Had I’d said Willie Pep you would have a point.

    You said he isn't a heavyweight which is just NONSENSE!
    Yes he's fat,a fat HEAVYWEIGHT! Only Joshua and Parker[disputed] have managed to beat him.

    Was it you or your tag partner who said last week he ko'd loads of contenders over 200lbs?

    Wasn’t me. His KO percentage at HW was lower then LHW although still respectable. I don’t have a tag partner lol. Have to admit Moore has a great HW resume.

    Moore was a very special fighter and he hit hard enough to hurt 200+ pound fighters.

    But he only kod one that weight who was ranked. I don't include wrestlers. Moore is an ATG , AJ is not, and never likely to become one, that is not germane to the issue.

    In fairness, Holyfield was quite literally middle aged.

    Even I can concede that there comes point where a massive difference in size trumps a massive difference in talent, and Archie has no stylistic advantage here. Dempsey might very well get the job done; Archie, very unlikely.
    This might be worse than Loughran vs Carnera.

    Well back then, heavyweight began at 176 pounds and many fighters were in the 185-195 pound range. It's not his fault that the quality of over 200 pound fighters wasn't all that.

    You are possibly correct, but only time will tell. Early days yet.
