just wondering how do you yall think Moorer would have done against Spinks, RJJ, Tarver? Moorer had 22 fights in the LightHW DIV winning all by KO. 10 title defenses all by KO. Could he be the best LightHW of all times? if not Why. I don't think anyone at that weight class could hurt him, but we all know the kind of power moorer has. To bad he was overshadowed by mike tyson. In 1988 moorer fought and won 13 fights by KO including a world title.

hard to say but he was one bad mofo at that weight. was the hardest puncher ever in that weight class in my opinion. the greatest is arguable though. didnt stay there long enough
no im dead seriousi think he was on steroids but , i think he was unbeatable at 168. its new division if toney was in great shape he could of beat him but none of the brits stand a chance
Calzaghe would

alot of guys just from within the last ten years would have a very good chance against him, knowing now that he had a major weakness in the chin department.
A guy like McClellan who knocked like everybody out in the first round, and walked through everybodies punches like they were nothing would have exposed him early in his career.
i think he would of killed rjj, roy couldnt even deal with tarver becuase he was a tall southpaw, moorer had great cordination and can hit with both hands. i could see anybody beating him at lightheavy except archie moore.... ezzard chalres, spinks and foster have a shot. roy at 168 in his prime no one would of ever beat him he was too athletic for anybody on this planet
What a load of bologne.

michael moorer had one weakness at 175 , he just hated to box . he stated it himself numbers of time . i really think jones (a prime jones ) would have taken a decision just by out boxing him , because after a few rounds moorer would be like "who cares , i am getting paid anyway" .
he would have pulverized michalewski......it would have been close with RJJ.
either way, he deserves a lot of credit for his achievements...
now he is talking about returning, i think its a bad idea, not too many guys will stand in front of him lik eJirov did
fact: michael moorer stopped every one of his opponents in the LHW division.
fact: he won the WBO title in 1988, held onto it for two years, with 9 successful defenses before vacating and moving up to HW.
fact: every fighter he fought at LHW was a bum.
its not hard to pad ur record with a KO streak of nobodies. and doing so should not merit you a p4p ranking or an all-time p4p slot.
Not a P4P list, this is a LHW list. Who do you think at LHW could have beaten him? i like RJJ but i don't think he could have beaten him at LHW. or anyone else for that matter. Teddy Roach had Moorer at tip top shape.

Good point, it's crazy how Moorer has never received any credit for what he has done. He beat Holy in his prime, never lost at LHW, won all fights by KO, the only guy to KO Jirov. beat foreman every round before the shot that was heard around the world
WIth Moorer's size and power at 175, he had a chance against anyone, but would be a slight favorite against Dariusz and a slight underdog against Roy, IMHO. Those would have all been great fights because of Moorer's power and confidence in his power at 175.
And he had The roach
