    The MW version of Moore time travels to the early 1980s and is a title challenger to the Marvelous One. Does Moore make Hagler look semi marvelous?

    I don’t know much about Archie Moore’s middleweight career. We know that he had HUGE success at both light heavy and heavy. Not sure if he would have been experienced or developed enough at middle to beat Hagler

    I’d say Archie Moore was in his prime at 26-27 when he had his final 160lbs fights against Charlie Burley.
    Moore already fought over 70 times and look who he fought Jack Chase, Eddie Booker, Aaron Wade the Houge Brothers and Bandit Romero also without mentioning potentially very good fighters I know nothing about.
    A middleweight with multiple fights against all time greats in his mid twenties sounds like someone at the height of his powers to me and arguably superior to the career of Marvellous Marvin Hagler already.

    He beats Marvin Hagler to me he may stop him too. Archie Moore was more experienced had the harder fights. So strong and much bigger he was such a puncher that he could’ve easily hurt and dropped Marvellous this is a fighter who had a lot of respect at heavyweight.
