I think Moore would have been a more even fight because both were at the same experience level. That is why Duran beat Moore so convincinly because Moore had no experience. But look what happened when Duran fought an experienced Tommy Hearns. Experience means alot. Duran beating Davey Moore was all experience.
Duran's thumb in Moore's eye early in the fight helped also. Without that , the fight would not have been so onesided.
