I don't know about 1927, but the possibility they sparred is there since their careers over lapped. Walker had his last fight just months after Moore turned pro in 1935. I've never heard this before but I guess there was a chance of it.

Well Moore would have been 11 in 1927 so that seems very unlikely. I suppose it could have happened, but I never heard it before and can't find anything about it.

Boxing News magazine did report that Walker said he had sparred Moore back in 1927. The issue was released in 1995 and was said during a article on Archie.
