    Moore could very well knocking him out Olson style. Muhammad was very tough but too much power and punishment coming at him.

    Comparing Maxim with Saad is 'apples and oranges'. Joey was a savvy, slick, boxer with a great set of whiskers. He never let himself get tagged big time with his defensive prowess. That being said, if Yaqui had tagged Maxim like he tagged Saad in their 2nd fight Joey may have been 'lights out!" But...different styles and that probably would not have happened.
    Once again (and everyone seems to refuse to weigh in on this) is we're talking different eras folks! Let's put a 48-52 prime Saad against a 78-82 prime Archie. I'll go with Moore but we're, again, talking vastly different eras...
