    i agree he would stop calzaghe!
    i don't think it would even go 4 rounds, moore was far to smart for calzaghe,
    he would find a way to end it quick!!


    langford is number 2 for most ko's

      How did i forget that...
      Because you haven't watched more than 5 fights of Moore, just going with the general opinion.

      Sheep, the lot of you.

        Which in your world means you should vote for Joe Calzaghe. presumably because you've seen more of his fights?

          Calzaghe would just hit and move, hit and move. He wouldn't be ****** enough to trade bombs with Moore and he's fast enough to get a decision over Moore.

          Calzaghe hasn't got the power to keep Moore off him? Calzaghe threw BOMBS in his prime.

            I have no idea who wins. I had never even heard of Archie Moore before this thread.

              Moore had a great shell-like defense, and had footwork reminiscent of Sugar Ray Robinson. He was also very crafty and wouldn't mind using an elbow during a fight. He wasn't really fast, but he could KO a guy with one punch. I would take Moore by KO, late rounds.

                agreed, moore was one of the most crafty fighters of all time!!!
                people look at his record and assume he knocked all his opponents out with his power, but in reality he would do it with his tactics and experience.

                moore used to use the rope a dope all the time and this was before rumble in the jungle!!

                infact when ali busted foremans ass, moore is at the side of the ring
                shouting "you copied that from me!!!" to ali.

                  I have seen a few Moore fights so am no sheep, Calzaghe could out work Moore but in his prime Calzaghe was open for the right hand and Moore was a massive puncher at light heavyweight. I don't see Calzaghe having enough power to really hurt Moore.

                    I like watching that 2nd Durralle fight, You really get to see Moore skills in that one.
