    You know this is a good question cause IMO both these guys were on par, Moore has more quality guys on his resume, but Louis was such a dominating force and king of the world, the first of his kind. A great heavy who brought Speed and Power that had never been seen before outside of Dempsey. One big difference was Louis had great technique and just looked a new evoulution type of heavy as far as technique. Benny Leonard,Gene Tunney were ahead of their times but for a heavy Louis had the whole package. Ive done a couple unofficail list and have had Louis top 10 on one and around 20 on another. Ive always had Moore hovering between 10 and 15.
