Who would have won between (prime)Riddick Bowe and Archie Moore?

Never said Bowe was more skilled or as skilled. But Bowe at his best was 6'5" 235-240 lbs, and was better skilled than either Patterson or Marciano. Moore at his BEST Was no more than 175lbs. At 5'11, sure Moore gave Marciano hell. But Marciano was only about 5'11 190 lbs. Bowe for a big man fought better on the inside than most smaller men (See the Holyfield fights) . Archie Moore rightfully so can be considered the Greatest Lt.heavy in history. But at Heavyweight he was pretty much a failure. Much like Bob Foster.

 

Bowe stops his little medium-sized foe.

 

Moore was much to skilled for Bowe, the only thing Bowe has is size over a guy like Moore, the old mongoose was just to damn crafty

 

You can't compare Moore and Foster at HW. Foster lost to pretty much any HW he fought. Archie beat some strong contenders and many of them are huge hitters (Baker, Valdes twice, Donaldson). Maybe your point is legit, but Moore was far better HW (and far better fighter at any weight in my opinion).

 

Baker wasn't a big puncher .Do you mean Davidson? He was a decent banger but never stopped anyone of real note.
Moore was a better heavy than Foster ,he was physically more suited to the division than the stick thin Foster.

 

Yeah, Davidson. My mistake.

 

Moore was past his best at this point would be giving up a huge amount to the younger much larger, more powerful and stronger Bowe. Riddick could keep up a great pace too, it may be competitive for a couple rounds with Archie landing some eye catching shots but eventually Bowe would overwhelm him and stop him.
