    I'm guessing the majority would say Moore would have absolutely no chance against Vitali and Wlad. Only a matter of time before either Klitschko connects with a big right or left and Archie is done.

    Let's talk the Moore who was denied by many for years before he won the light heavyweight title. If he lived today and honestly hovered between LW and CW, how do you think he'd honestly do against them?

    I think Archie is smart enough to out-hit and out-wit both brothers. I'd give him more than a couple of rounds, setting traps and showing these two heavyweights boxing tricks they haven't seen in their careers. Wouldn't put it past the Ole Mongoose to have both on the floor either.

    I'd still see a Klitschko big punch doing him in the later middle rounds, say 8 or 9, but not before a boxing lesson from Archie. Sometimes Vlad and Vitali are too nice and don't finish when it seems they should. Maybe Archie could avoid being KOed, survive some danger and pull off UD victories?

    Archie Moore was in his prime in his late 30's not late 20's.I think he could win.

    Moore has zero chance...... Too small and weak for either hulking K-Bro....... Moore would never land anything big or powerful enough with his lack of height, reach and 190 pounds...... Either K-Bro would torture and KO Moore...

    He beats both brothers by devastating first round kayo. If Byrd can knock Vitali out and Brewster can knock Volo out? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Moore's got this on lockdown.

    Moore gets dominated both times.

    Rocky fought a prime moore and he was found to be too big for him.

    Either brother would destroy moore.
