      Greenberg is the only person on that card that stands a chance in today's HW division. McCall and Moorer are both finished.

        I'm always interested in former heavyweight contenders and champions(as with Moorer) who are making comebacks and trying to regain some of their past glory. I'm also always on the look out for new up-and-coming talent in heavyweight division.

        IMO, the addition of Oliver Mccall and Michael Moorer to the heavyweight mix is a good thing and helps broaden the talent pool. As with Greenberg and Marrone, their presence on the scene has been noted and are guys to watch in 2007.

          Physically.. McCall looked old, but he didn't fight old. Moorer looked the same, and fought the same. He's not FINISHED. His presence in the HW division could make things interesting. He still has the power and quickness to compete at championship level.

            I didn't see these fights but last time I saw Moorer(against Jirov) he was being outboxed but was able to turn the fight around in a blink of the eye by his awesome punching power. So, its good that he's back in the mix and I think it helps deepen the talent pool.

              McCall and Moorer are done. Couser has always been a piece of garbage and Diaz is what he is, a sparring partner.

                Couser mimicked Tyson quite well until he got tagged with the Moorer's sunday punch.

                I hope that Moorer gets in a good enough shape to fight for one of those belts.

                It is good to see Moorer and McCall getting back into the picture, and Marrone and Greenberg coming up.

                  I like that Moorer and Mccall are back on the scene but Moorer's a long way from contending for a title. He'll need to prove that he belongs by fighting and beating some top guys first.

                    I cant remember who he was fighting but I saw Couser pick up another fighter and body slam him WWE style during a fight.

                      It is true... and Moorer was very humble about his win. He said that he plans to make the climb and prove that he can become the HW champ again, though he made it clear that he is not ready to fight for the title now.
