    Let's say that 1948 Moore starts fighting Usyk opponents under Usyk's schedule. After 5 years, 1953 Moore fights Bellew and then he waits for his first HW opponent.

    Do you think that he'd go undefeated like Usyk? Do you see him struggling more or losing some fights?

    Moore UD12
    I'd pick Bellew of the Usyk fight to beat the Moore of the Patterson fight but I'm not sure about the Rocky fight. I'll take Moore due to his pedigree and being the better fighter

    2018-07-21 Murat Gassiev
    Gassiev KO5-8, Gassiev's power is too much, KOs Moore when they'd trade.

    2018-01-27 Mairis Briedis
    Briedis KO9-10 or UD12. Hopefully he doesn't elbow anyone. I think Briedis's mixture of size, skill and power is too much for Moore

    2017-09-09 Marco Huck
    Moore KO8-10

    2017-04-08 Michael Hunter
    Moore UD12, probably wins a few less rounds than Usyk. Great fight here tho.

    Moore KO10-12

    2016-09-17 Krzysztof Glowacki
    Archie Moore UD12, the Moore of the Marciano and Patterson fights gets KOed by Glowacki however.

    More pertinent might be, who of Moore's opponents would Usyk lose to?

    Probably those who beat Moore - Charles, Marciano, Patterson are the most likely opponents to beat Usyk. Maybe Johnson too. Usyk could beat all of them though, he's very talented.

    I'd say that Moore beat quite a few punchers who were at worst comparable to Gassiev.

    Who? Marciano's the only puncher he faced who's comparable to Gassiev imo

    As Tonto said, Satterfield, Valdes, Sheppard, Durelle and others he mentioned hit extremely hard.

    Satterfield and Valdes? Really not close as far as punching power?

    Not as hard as Gassiev imo. Both were very good punchers and pfp maybe better than gassiev, but Gassiev weighs a considerable amount more. He's a huge puncher at CW and a huge CW as well.

    I doubt he's bigger than Valdes. Either way, Moore would be by far the best puncher he ever fought and I'd worry more about Gassiev than the other way. Moore was amazing puncher, much more beyond power. I doubt he'd deal with his attack well.

    Moore said the hardest punchers he met were Durelle,Satterfield and Sheppard,he placed them all in front of Marciano.
    Charles said Satterfield and Marshall hit him harder than Marciano.
