Could Archie Moore have beaten Jess Willard over the 15 round distance?

Archie Moore was one of the smartest boxers in history.

I think he would beat Willard in a decision. He might even stop Willard after 10 rounds.

Prime for prime, I would pick Moore over Willard .by KO. If Moore who was already aging could have put down prime Rocky Marciano and prime Floyd Patterson in gallant losing fights and beat some of the rated modern heavyweights of his time, I have no doubt he would have been too much for the old fashioned fighter as Willard. That would have been like prime Dwight Muhammad Qawi going up against the same Willard.

The Mongoos would have eaten the Pottowanamie Giant alive. No contest. Archie Moore would have also beaten Jack Johnson.

Yes, Archie's one of the smartest fighters ever. He's probably got the highest boxing IQ in history and he'd find a way to outpoint Willard.

Jack Johnson was Past his prime and in 112 degree heat and lasted over 25 rounds you idiot @dana

hell no Archie Moore could not beat Jack Johnson @Topica Tapcopa

choose the one that makes the most sense

Yes.

Willard had the old fashioned style, Moore would have beat him up probably even worse than what Dempsey did to him... smaller, much faster, and a DEVASTATING puncher.

No I don't think so. Jess Willard is underrated. He destoyed Jack Johnson.
