    I think he has a chance against Ruiz or Brewster.

      Almost all of you were saying Jirov was going to wax Moorers' ass in that fight, and most of you went on and on about how good Jirov was -- now that he lost he sucks huh? Yeah right -- fair weathered fans around here....
      I did think Jirov would win, I didn't think Jirov was a very good heavyweight. Moorer was getting beat and landed the great shot. Great punch and great win for him. That doesn't mean he can go on and win a title. I have a hard time seeing him have the stamina or chin to succeed, even against these below average "champs"..imo

I think he could beat Brewster and give Byrd a fight and he showed he has KO power by knocking out a very solid-chinned and very highly regarded Jirov. Hell this may be a stretch but i think he would take it to toney. Your thoughts
        Gotta disagree. Even mediocre heavyweights will drill an even in shape Moorer into the floor. That's my opinion. No chin is no chin and he has no chin.

          i don't think u can label someone for having a susept chin when they get ko'd by, Foreman,Tua, and Holyfield.

Maybe it was; he was just shaking the ring rust off, but if it takes him that long to get set he's not gonna last long against much of the competition today. I think a matchup against Toney would be interesting because Toney hasn't really fought any tough heavyweights and also to see if Moorer can step up to the next level. Great matchup, I pick Toney by majority decision. By the way BDBowe, I would love to see a Moorer-Bowe bout next year when Bowe recovers from his injury.
            now that could make interesting...bowe/moorer. i relaly dont know how good of shape bowe is in though...from what i can see he isnt and prob shouldnt be boxing but who knows

                    But you can label him as having little to no chance of getting a belt by his loss to Eliseo Castillo.

                      good luck...he is a fringe contender who had a lot of luck against jirov.....pay credit where is due, but he is far from top 10 contention...although well done to him for his latest performance.
