    I must say I like Moore to win a close one, but his style would give Hopkins a sporting chance to do what he does best. I just don't think he can do it quite as brilliantly as Moore can.

    But of course you do, as would Ramonza, Cdogg and others of your category. :lol:

    Hopkins wins this one. Too tall, rangy, cagey and smart. Moore is busier and scores points for agression but he's hit twice as many times.

    Did you watch the clips Sly?

    Lets put it this way - I bet Bernard Hopkins himself would disagree with what you said.

    Archie Moore, especially in old age, fought like a cross between James Toney and Ken Norton... he was a counterpuncher all the way... Sly doesn't know anything about him and the rest of the guys around here would say "modern athletes are so much better, blahblahblah... "
