    I'll give you that but even before the KO he wasn't a "beast" that people feared, was not unified at Light heavy, and his resume leading up to that wasn't stellar.

    He was a champion, a great athlete, just not a "beast".

      Would liked to have seen him in deeper at 175 but yeah he was murderous.

        Call him whatever you want, but he was one of the best fighters in the world at that time and just beat a future HOFer in Holyfield.

          He was leading in the scorecards in the fight against Foreman until he was caught by that punched.

          Moorer was never the same boxer after that vicious KO.
          if someone breaks my Jaw in two different places with one punch, I might never be the same.

          And that is what happened that night.

            You guys are acting like he got body bagged like Arturo Gatti did against Floyd.

            Foreman barely landed a glove on him and then he landed one punch and put him out cold. Hardly career damaging.

            The reality was that Moorer really wasn't that great.

            He was a strong LHW, but that's because he was bigger than everyone he faced.

            Had he fought at CW, he probably would've had a longer and more successful career.
            Dude, Foreman broke the man's jaw in 2 different places, just a small fact that you might have not known until now.
