    Two great light heavyweights meet in the ring for a tear up? Remember, Moore lost to Ezzard Charles 3x. Factor that into your decision making.

    Yarde isnt a great LHvy,but he maybe a great lhvy puncher. Moore is far too savvy to lose to Yarde,

    Even when ancient, Archie beat a huge puncher in Durelle twice.

    Archie Moore is an ATG. Yarde has shown a solid punch and bravery but a fight between the 2 would go like this:

    Would Moore win by KO?

    Moore mops the floor with Yarde. No way is Yarde a great light heavyweight. He doesn't have a single win over elite opposition. He will get outclassed again when he fights Benavidez.

    What if Yarde rehydrates and comes in at 185 to Moore's 175, does that make a matter?

    Against Moore, it wouldnt matter in the slightest. Moore has flattened much bigger and better fighters than a 185 pound Anthony Yarde.

    Yarde uses creatine and has Tunde in his corner. He wins this.
