This match almost happen according to rays biography. Was it a viable match or was archie just to big and strong for ray.

Archie would have plastered him.

Sugar Ray would've suffered his first and only true KO loss.

Ray Corso

Robinson is the superior boxer by far and Archies style is not a good one to defeat Sugar! Archie fought at a lighter weight in his beginning years and was very mobil but at 175 he became a shuffle stepper and liked to work at a steady pace. Ray was a very solid 160 once he got there and fought at middleweight the majority of his career with many prime years at that weight!
I love Archie Moore but Sugar was the extreme when it came to defeating styles and Sugars style would be very difficult for Archie. To fast, with power!
Ray.

I agree Sugar Ray had the skills to win but 175 is just too big for him.

Robinson would win a decision unless he fought in riduclously hot weather like against maxim

If we're talking the early to mid 50's Moore would have beaten him at 175.

AT 175?! Ray would get a beating from Archie, and probably knew it too, which is why he suggested the whole purse thing.
