    Archie by late stoppage seems right. Although Archie in his older days losses to Jack but prime Archie gets him out

    Very very good fight. I think Dempsey might get there with a body-attack but there's no reason Moore couldn't counter a hurt, rash Dempsey out of there and at almost any stage.

    Depends on how Dempsey would decide to fight. Jack with gameplan from Firpo fight would lose very badly.

    I can see Dempsey wearing Moore down with his body attacks and constant agression, but he'd eat a lot of punches and I can see him being dropped. On the other hand, Moore could either outbox him to clear decision or stop him late.

    Very tough fight to predict.

    I have Moore shaking, maybe even flooring Dempsey. Dempsey gets up and beats Moore badly, stops him in a few rounds. Although Moore was way better fighter, he can't overcome the weight in this case. Wild fight.

    Yet Gibbons goes the full route and Brennan almost likewise.

    Solid take.

    They were pretty much identical in bodyweight

    Gibbons was a mover, Moore wasn't

    I don't think it's much of a stretch to say Gibbons was harder to stop than Moore. Though KO 2 is a bit of an odd prediction.

    Yes and Gibbons fought firstly to survive, Moore would try to knock Dempsey out. On the other hand, Moore was much more powerful than Gibbons.

    Much of the fight was still fought in close quarters in the pocket.

    As a middleweight he was, increased weight and power made him adopt a more static approach.
