    Interesting bout. If they fight 3 times, neither is going 3-0.

    Probably go with a shaky vote for Moore. The main reason would be that I think he absorbed better of the 2 over the course of a bout. I'm not sure which guy would have the finishing skills to get the other guy out of there when the window of opportunity got opened. With that in mind, I think it comes down to who takes the other guy's punches better & I'd lean towards Moore, by late tko in a brutal fight.

    Don't know, Moore didn't get to mature as a professional fighter. Obviously and sadly we didn't to see if he could come back from the Duran loss, and maybe fulfill his potential, RIP.

    Moore in a nailbiter over 15, Vargas in 12.

    Moore was a better fighter than Vargas across the board imo.Not by a massive amount in most areas maybe, but enough to get the job done.

    He also clearly had more power.Davey was a very heavy handed guy.

    Something about Davey was a little less shaky than Fernando, but it would be an all-out war about even in the 11th when Davey wins by stoppage.

    Moore would stop Vargas late.
