    Archie was actually old enough to have fought all of those guys if the fights were to take place when he was super green and they were nearing the end. I think the older Moore who actually fought at heavyweight would lose to Baer and Schmeling but a hypothetical 25 year old, 196 pound Moore might very well run the table.

    I'd make him favorite against Braddock, Galento and Carnera. Baer would be dangerous, probably too dangerous (but Moore still has good chance).

    Schmeling vs Moore would be an epic battle that I'd love to see. One of my dream fights. I'd favor Schmeling to beat Moore in close fight, maybe a late KO.

    I think at his best he beats them all.

    I think he and Schmeling could go either way. At light heavy, I think Moore would thoroughly whip Schmeling as Schmeling wasn't as good as a light heavy. Baer because of his power and size has a chance at stopping Moore, but Moore could also embarrassingly out box Baer.
