How many does Archie Moore win vs the following ten fighters.

I'd go for 4-5

Bob Fitzsimmons - Moore probably slicker but this is a 50-50 with Fitz amazing power and Archies chin

Sam Langford - Langfords pressure and compact punching would get to Moore imo.

Jack Dillion - Moore UD

Tommy Loughran - Moore UD, that little bit better

Gene Tunney - I'd edge towards Tunney UD but a true battle of slick boxing where Moore

Maxie Rosenbloom - Moore UD

Ezzard Charles - Charles wins AGAIN

Bob Foster - 50-50 KO either way, edge towards Moore, maybe both get kd'ed

Mike Spinks - Spinks UD

Roy Jones - Jones makes Moore look like Toney

 

Nine! But only if he wasn't affected by the wear and tear of each fight, and if Moore was at his peak. And by saying he'd 'win' them, I mean I would favour him. Moore might be 80/20 over Bob Fitzsimmons but 60/40 over Gene Tunney.

 

5 or 6.

I'd give Langford, Charles, Spinks, Jones and Tunney all a good chance of defeating him (though it wouldn't be easy by any stretch).

Moore beats the others at LHW, although Fitz's power might just prove an equaliser in their matchup.

 

I think he would win all besides Charles, Langford, Jones (terrible match stylistically for Moore) and maybe Tunney although I would favor Moore slightly.

 

The two who would give him the most trouble are Jack Dillon and Ezzard Charles.

 

I seriously think Moore is 1 of the most overrated P4P fighters ever based on his longevity. His performance against the very best seems to come up short time and again and he lost to many smaller fighters. Yes he is an excellent fighter but a class lower than the ultra elite of the sport

1. I'm not an expert on Fitz, he was an excellent fighter by all means.

2. RJJ did have a habit of making very good fighters look a class below. And RJJ would be every bit the puncher in this fight as Moore was.

Why do people talk about RJJs chin and neglect to mention Moores chin problems? Moore was ko'd 7 times, including ko losses in his prime and ko'd by Bivins, Booker, Morrow, Charles, Patterson, Marciano. RJJ hit harder than most of these and his speed and accuracy means he will land more.

 

The opposite is also true of everyone except Spinks. Moore hit as hard or harder than men who ko'd Fitz, Foster, Jones, and Langford. And Spinks did not meet nearly as many tough punchers as Moore and Langford did.

I picked Langford, Tunney, Charles, and Spinks to beat Moore, and I think that he should be the underdog against Tunney and Charles. Langford, though, is a very close call. His record is as speckled with defeats as Moore's and in the end Moore's winning and knockout percentages were considerably better, even discarding all the NC and draws on Langford's record. I judge Moore as having a real good chance with Langford.

 

beats loughran, Rosenbloom. dillion, foster,
loses to Fitz, langford, Tunney, Charles, Jones(?) spinks....
or all ten could be the other way around. Damn, this was hard.
