View Full Version : Archie Moore-Roy Jones Jr. at 175
Piggu 01-07-2006, 12:13 AM Funny Note: I was at Boxrec.com looking at the rankings of the best Lightheavies of all time, and I couldn't find Archie Moore but I saw Dariusz Michalczewski. Then I realized that I was looking under European instead of World.
The fight would be 12 rounds.
XionComrade 01-07-2006, 12:21 AM Moore would probably end up KOing him.
Roy Jones jr was incredibly fast and skillful. I suppose he would dominate the earlier rounds.
How ever, Archie Moore is one of the greatest p4p fighters of all time, and had great power to go along with his awesome skill. He would hunt down Jones to win by late stoppage.
Archie Moore by tko10.
Brockton Lip 01-07-2006, 01:40 PM Agreed. Archie Moore by tko.

Heckler 01-07-2006, 08:58 PM Moore, he'd catch Jones eventually.
Dempsey 1919 01-07-2006, 09:05 PM let me see, the greatest light hw of all-time, against a blown-up middleweight. hmmm, that's a tough one.

Super_Lightweight 01-09-2006, 01:17 AM Moore wouldn't ever catch Jones. Jones was only caught late in his career under adverse cirumstances. Jones UD Moore.
Piggu 02-18-2007, 10:50 PM Okay I added a poll.
ceboxer15 02-18-2007, 11:28 PM Moore by late TKO.
Southpaw Stinger 02-20-2007, 10:09 AM i would take the moore by the way of KO.

archie moore's top wins at 175 are against joey maxim, harold johnson and hes 1-1 against holman williams.
Michael spinks beat dwight muhammad qawi, eddie mustafa muhammad and marvin johnson. He never lost to any of them at 175, spinks is better than moore, plain and simple.

Spinks is one of the greatest ever light heavies.
brownpimp88 02-20-2007, 02:42 PM Spinks is one of the greatest ever light heavies.
archie got knocked out by floyd patterson, spinks beat holmes and cooney. That should clearly tell you who the better fighter is, ezzard charles is the only man at 175 that could give spinks problems, then again tunney and ezzard are boxers and spinks is trained to defeat boxers.

This proves that Spinks is the greater heavyweight, not greater light heavyweight.

archie moore didnt beat billy conn, ezzard charles, gus lisnivich, charley burley. He beat the 2nd tier light heavies of his era.

Neither did Spinks, what's your point?

marvin, eddie and dwight were the top guys from that era. Do i need to remind u that it was these guys that took galindez and saad off the map. Qawi finished off saad, and marvin whooped galindez. therefore spinks doesnt have to fight those two anymore.

You do realize that Moore was really old by the time he got the title, and got some tough breaks that didn't allow him to fight the top guys for a long time. Plus he didn't have the advantage of a gold medal like Spinks did, so he couldn't get the high publicity, and resources needed to perform at a hight level. That should be taken into consideration.

The fact that archie wouldn't have figured out spink's style of fighting should also be taken into consideration. Spinks jinx on archie's chin, spinks via tko. U remember what cossell said after spinks beat johnson."This kid can punch!". Yeah you would hear that same phrase if these two were to fight.
