    Moore doesn't have Usyks durability and was kayoed numerous times

    Moore beat a laundry list of solid punchers. One’s with far more accuracy and stamina

    Wouldn't matter, the skill difference is so great that I don't think either of these guys would be able to get to Moore. Ain't nobody with tough man competition level skills beating Archie Moore I don't care how big they are.

    I don't think Durelle had much accuracy or stamina.

    In Moore’s prime Durelle is knocked out in 3. Without the drama

    Projection not fact.
    Marciano wasn't that accurate a puncher either,though he certainly had stamina.

    He knocked him out in 3 in the rematch far removed from prime. It’s not a giant leap.

    I think I'm entitled to engage on my own thread when I want to.I have no standing on this forum,I'm just another poster forcefully giving his point of view, asking a direct question and getting nothing back but BS fudging.

    Usyk is 6 ft 3 and 227 lbs,Moore was 5' 11" and 188lbs for Marciano spot the difference? Nobody has ever out boxed Usyk, several have out boxed Moore.

    How is Valdes more skilled than Kabayel and Dubois

    I hear what you're saying, but I don't get into boxer A being outboxed more times than boxer B therefore Boxer B outboxes boxer A, I just imagine them in the ring at their best and let the fight play out in my head. Usyk has not outboxed a single great fighter in my opinion, because he hasn't fought any.

    Because both Kab and Dubois suffer from the modern fighter problem that is common to almost all of them today, and that is they take turns on offense and defense instead of mixing it up. Fighters today go in the ring and say okay you hit me and I'll cover up, then I'll hit you and you cover up. For the most part there is not the seamless transitions that were more readily apparent in even the average contenders of past eras.

    Usyk beat much more solid punchers and was a harder puncher, at heavyweight, than anyone Moore beat. He set up his big shots in almost artistic fashion. And he was a legit 6-3, 225.
