    moorer's a slippery dude, and ll never having fought a southpaw would make him that much more trouble. but imo he can't stay away from those long arms forever.

        I think your underselling his power.

        Michael Moorer had pop at HW.

        And Lewis didn't have the best chin.

          Yeah,but u have to get to the target to use that pop.MM was a smaller HW with shorter reach,for him to counter effectively he would need to be on the inside vs LL,and that spells trouble for MM considering one of LL best punches was the uppercut.

            I think people are going to underestimate Moorer naturally because of the aftermath of the Foreman fight. And people are so easily ready to forget that Lewis was hardly a proven great champ like he became back then. But still, a guy with all the physical advantages and pretty much ATG talent standing on the outside out jabbing Moorer. Doesn't sound like the best of the match ups for Moorer.

              moorer was too weak minded and inconsistent to hang in there with lewis

              he would have a puncher's chance but then again most of lewis' high profile opponents did...

                I definitely don't consider Lennox Lewis a great heavyweight but he definitely has the tools to wreck Moorer.

                  You have 0 credibility if you don't think Lennox Lewis, after all said and done, isn't considered a great heavyweight.

                  And I f'in hate Lewis too and was hoping to Jesus that Klitschko wiped him out.

                    A lot of you guys are judging Moorer post Foreman. The question is if he had never been KO'd by George and had waited till the Lewis fight. Moorer was 2 completely different fighters. A confident Moorer would have given Lennox hell. He was a very heavy handed southpaw who could fight in and out. Very dangerous fight for Lewis.

                      Lewis would knock him out
