I think Michalczewski's 25 consecutive defences 21 by KO meant something. Also his accomplishment in defeating WBA IBF champ Virgil Hill and WBC Champion Graciano Rochigiani. I think Rochigiani beating Nunn for the WBC meant something.

u r 100% correct, i just pointing out the fact that Moorer has never received the proper respect for his accomplishment. This whole thing about last night when i was watching the Foreman vs Moorer story. and begin to wonder why he was never mentioned among the great LHW or HW's

that means alot, i can't really comment on Him because i can't recall ever seeing him fight. I'm sure most people on here hasn't seen many of his fights and are unable to agree with you. But that is very impressive.

Michael Moore is not above Michalczewski on all time Lt Heavyweights list. He only defended the WBO title 9 times against worse opposition than Michalczewski. All his defences were by KO. But Michalczewski 25 defences 21 by KO is better. All Moore's defences were against absolute nobodie.

Michalczewski beat

Virgil Hill

Montell Griffin (beat Toney twice Beat Jones by DQ....Griffin ahead on points at time of stoppage.

Drake Thadzi (beat Toney by descison)

beat some other guys that beat Glen Johnson

bet Graciano Rochigiani

Derick Harmon

i think that only do to the fact that in a rematch to holy he was tko'd and to most peopel he is the dude that got KO'd by foreman

i think alot of european fighters arent givin alot fo credit cause they dont fight in the USA, DM beat hill he was THE champ so i dotn see why people didnt go over and fight him at his home town, so he was stipped, i also havent seen him fight. its a shame he wasnt seen more by US veiwers

Would you say that these guys would all beat him? Because I certainly don't think that way. I know he really didn't fight anyone at this weight but just looking at the skills he possessed here leads me to believe that he could have stacked up with any other Lt. Heavy ever. We also know that he could get off the canvas to win (unless of course Big George is hitting him).

You pretty much made my argument for me. "He really didn't fight anyone at" lt. heavyweight. When assessing a fighter's skills, you must take into account level of opposition. I'm sure i could look like Sugar Ray Robinson if i were fighting against elderly women. That doesn't mean i'm on the same level of Ray Robinson.

The fighters i previously mentioned proved their skill against viable opposition. At 175, Moorer beat no one of real significance.

U r right, but people should try to understand that, it was HOLYFIELD AND FOREMAN. 2 Of the best ever. There is no way anyone that was mentioned on this thread beats Holy or Foreman
