If you've read the books, it would probably be more clear to you why some like Dalton more than Moore. Moore was the "jokey" Bond, and looked and acted absolutely nothing like his literary counterpart. Also, Moore was never convincing to me in his fight scenes. The Moore/John Glen films were marred by ludicrous plots and set pieces as well. In fact, the only Moore film which I really like is "The Spy Who Loved Me"...which coincidentally, is absolutely nothing like the book.
