    Default Michael Moorer at Lt. Heavyweight

    Many people forget that there was a time that Moorer was 26-0(26). He stopped everyone he fought at Light Heavyweight before he moved to Heavyweight for bigger fights. If he stayed at Light Heavyweight could he have become the greatest in the divisions history? Would there have ever been a Roy Jones and if so could he have stood against a Moorer left hand. I think he would have probably been among the greats.

    Now hes filled out in a James Toney way. He was over 250 his last fight...but you may be right he was still very yound and filling out . He was a smaller heavyweight though throughout the mid 90s

    This is what I always thought . Michael Moorer was an absolute monster at light heavy but people forget this cuz he became a technical boxer at heavyweight . Suppose we'll never know how good he'd have been historically but I wouldt have bet against him back then . No way .

    Kinda a shame that there isn't the $ at cruiser and Lt heavy to keep guys down there,
    Maybe a realignment of the divisions from super mid to heavy,
    like the olympics with super heavy at 220+
