    From what I understand, Moore tried to get a shot at Walcott during this time period, but was unsuccessful. If they had fight, who would've likely won?

    Walcott was better at heavy weight than Moore.

    Yeah I lean towards Walcott to win this. On the other hand, if Walcott drained down to LHW, I'd pick Moore to win it.

    A catch weight would have been interesting.

    JJW for me. He was the better HW fighter.

    Both with rather unorthadox styles. Be an interesting (though maybe not exciting) one to watch.

    I'd pick Walcott though. If he can go 2-2 with Charles, I think he'd beat Archie.

    Actually, Walcott was a blown up flyweight as he fought in every weight class at some point.

    Ali was also a natural flyweight.
