Lennox Lewis v Archie Moore?

Why bother?

 

I am interested. I'm interested in why you'd bother.

 

In your mind it already is, so again why bother?

 

No honest person will pick Moore to beat Lewis. But BF24 is loaded with dishonest people who fancy arguments more than truth. So I suspect you'll have your hands full at some point. :good

 

I'm expecting the usual jargon. " Moore beat X number of hall of famers, could box brilliantly, and fought in an era where fighters trained by drinking scotch whiskey made with peat moss and sheep dung."

 

Lewis by KO or UD.

I love the mongoose, but Lewis is a giant compared to Moore. A giant with pretty good boxing skills.

I would pretty much take Lewis head to head against anyone, Ali, Foreman, Liston and Vladdy. Maybe a young Clay or young Tyson beat him but maybe not.

 

yes and if they didn't eat sheep dung he would of been a foot taller and 30 pounds heavier!

personally I hate that argument, it changes what was real into what could be real and then makes a side argument of even more speculation on top of speculation already. Its hard enough to compare one era to another without throwing that into the fray.

 

Moore did well against big men.
He had most trouble with the smaller ones.

Lewis did well against big lumbering bums with limited skills.

 

When is the Lewis vs Lee Epperson thread coming?
