Bob Fitzsimmons vs Archie Moore

Hello,

Two hard punchers and masters of setting up traps. Twenty rounds, both in their primes. Both weigh in at the light heavyweight limit. Who wins and how?

Thank You.

 

Fitz had too much of a rudimentary rigid style imo.

Maybe there's HD footage somewhere that makes him look better than I realise.

But taking greatness out of it. Looking at the two men fight and looking at who the two men beat and how they beat them, I see no reason to expect Fitz to win.

 

At 175 or less
Moore beat:
Johnson
Pompey
Durelle
Sheppard
Henry
Bivins

Fitz beat:
Choynski
Corbett
O Brien
Gardner
Sharkey
Ruhlin

 

resume aside, based on the eye test who do you think would win?

 

I think its a shoot out,and that there isnt decent enough footage of Fitz to be dogmatic about the result. The fact that he could weather Jeffries and Sharkey's punches for a significant time gives Bob a shot.

 

I like fitz v later guys more than most of you, but not this time, moore's a horrible matchup for him.
