    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.

        either way, he deserves a lot of credit for his achievements...
        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

            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.

                      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" .
