    Holyfield 2-0 he stops Roy and wins a decision over Moore.
    Moore 1-1 he stops Roy in 5-8

    Roy 0-2 not trying to sell him short I just don’t think at a CW he is on par with these 2

    Agree with Philly heavily, Roy wasnt really as good at 175 as he was 168. At Cruiserweight Holyfeild beats both, (I like by KO/TKO) and Moore at heavyweight beats the Jones of the Ruiz fight

    Agree, except that at CW, Holyfield wasn't very experienced and the only CW version of Holyfield I can see besting Moore is the post Qawi 1 Holyfield and even then, it'd still be very competitive. Same with RJJ, if he fights the Holyfield of Qawi 1 or prior, I lean towards Jones. But Qawi 2 and after, Holyfield stops him.

    Archie takes the cake here, I mean the man has knocked out more men then the two have fought together win, loss or draw. Under old rules Archie wins by KO on both. With Roy Coming quicker while being ahead on the cards at the time of the knockout. Holyfield would fall right into Archies game he loved to fight a guy, who would come straight at him with limited movement. Archie could punch like no one's business that's a fact, plus he was like Walcott in this regard, he could pull the rabbit out of the hat at any time!!! A man of many tricks. Truly underrated!
