    Yeah, I'd watch. I don't think it would be pretty. Holyfield has everything to lose by taking this fight and not too much to gain. He took Moorer out in their second fight and ascended to greatness while Moorer fell off. Like I said I'd and they would probably be evenly matched at this point in their careers.

    Nice interview, I like the whole: the guy who loses is forced to retire. I wonder how they would enforce that.

    I would watch because I will watch any boxing but I would have not a shred of excitement for the bout and I think Moorer is just daydreaming at this point.

    I must admit after seeing Moorer's wife or girlfriend whatever being interviewed after a recent fight I started to like him a whole lot more.

    I personally find a fighter or any top athlete/celeb a lot more human and real when they are dating a really unnatractive bird.

    And trust me Moorer's girl is a real manbeast, the kind of girl that even Jesse Brinkley wouldn't marry :P

    I think Moorer is serious this time about a comeback. Im happy him he weighed in at 238 and beat Sedrick Fields immpessively. In his last few outings he was tipping the scales at 250+. Hes a very skilled fighter and still has great power. I think he would beat Holyfield, probably stop him.

    Moorer Vs Tua II would be interesting too. Since we're speculating, if Moorer could avenge that loss against a younger Tua that may catapult him into title contention. He sounds really focused in the interview, have you guys heard that Grimsley had to pull out due to illness?

    Leaner doesn't mean better...

    Moorer was about 225 lbs in his 1st fight against Tua...and he got ko'ed like an amateur...

    Moorer is nice at 235, he can win a few fights, but forget about the top guys, he'll be defeated.

    Yes sure he would win agaisnt Holyfield, both know it I think, but then...Moorer vs Wlad ? he could get killed.
