Moorer is no where near the great fighter he used to be and caught Jirov with some good punches. Maybe he can milk a title shot from this win or another big fight but my hopes aren't held high for him. It's a shame really because i like the guy.
How far do you think Moorer can go?

Moorer's victory said less about him, than it did Jirov.
Jirov, as a heavyweight, is overrated. His "moral" victory over
the mediocre Mesi...got a few too many folks excited, especially his Communist fanbase.Comment

I think Moorer just proved that Jirov is shot, not that Moorer is back. I feel that Jirov's tough wars with Toney and others have taken their tolls on The Tiger. Moorer will try to step up again, but will fail against the elite. He wouldn't exactly shame himself against Brewster or Byrd, though.Comment

no more than top 10. hes an old man, vitali would destroy him, ruiz would hug him to a point victory, byrd would dance around him, brewster would be a decent fight. he should fight wlad, that would guage both fighters and both would have a lot to loseComment

Yup. If Moorer can be in decent conditioning, I think he can make some noise again. Against some of the belt holders, he certainly has a chance, although his hopes seem pretty slim to me versus Vitali.Originally posted by TheGreat1i don't think u can label someone for having a susept chin when they get ko'd by, Foreman,Tua, and Holyfield.Comment

Jirov is not a real heavy-wieght. And has never beaten a legitmate heavy-weight. I dont think Moorer can really compete against the top heavy-wieghts, hes too old and appeared to be slow. Jirov shouldn't be considered a litmus test for anybody north of 200lbs. I dont think this fight proved anything for Moorer, but did prove Jirov needs to move down or quit.Comment
