M. Moorer Best Light HW Ever

[TheGreat1]

i've always like RJJ but i don't think he would have been able to stand up with Moorer

[The Repo Man]

Michael Moorer is to the light heavyweight division what Shane Mosley was to the lightweight division. Both devastated their opposition, but never faced an opponent that would solify their claim as a truly elite champion in the history of their division.

no one owns RJJ at any weight class in his prime. he was just too good.

i guess archie moore and ezzard charles never existed.

[Moon]

just wondering how do you yall think Moorer would have done against Spinks, RJJ, Tarver?

The Jinx woulda' got him in trouble. Big Trouble.

[AintGottaClue]

MM has alot of comp to be called the best ;hw i mean theres, ezzard charles, archie moore, bob foster, billy conn, RJJ, and many many others, all are hard guys to beat

[GunStar]

M. Moorer was the hardest puncher I've ever seen in the Light HW, also he had great speed for this weight & a good chin. In my opinion he was the best light HW I've ever seen.

He would've destroyed Jones or Tarver.

Was Michael Moorer the best Light-Heavyweigth ever?

Hmm...uhhh..No.

He wasn't even the best of the four titlists on top when he held that worthless WBO trinkett. He was good..devastating against the opposistion he fougtht; but Virgil Hill would have outboxed him. Prince Charles Williams could have beaten him, too; but Moorer probably would have knocked him out. Let's see. I think that leaves Denis Andres or Jeff Harding, if memory serves correctly...he could have beaten either of them.

Historically: Spinks beats him by decision and has him in trouble on occasion. Foster beats, maybe even kayos him. Moore stops him, IMO; but definetely beats him. ...and there are many others who would have too. Charles would have knocked him out. O'Brien would have danced circles around him. Tunney stops him.


No, he was not the best. He had an impressive knock-out streak over unimpressive opposistion at 175.

witch belts do you need to have to be considered undisputed champion?.
and i agree jones dominated much easier at 168

This is what happens when you get your knowledge from boxrec, years after the fact, rather than from following and watching the sport.

Roy was never undisputed at 175.
