    Well, Archie was an all time great, obviously, and everyone has to admit that Calzaghe is a terrific fighter and a true all time great himself, so this one is a close call. I'll take the modern fighter by UD.

    Agreed. Many guys would fold under Moore's power but I'd pick Joe The Fantastic Fighter to beat him

    The Old Mongoose would be intimated by Joe's Welshness

    15 Rounds, I'd go with Archie in a tough one as Joe would have given anyone problems with his southpaw style, movement and stamina, but I see Moore pulling it out late as he was so strong and determined.
