Michael Moorer Fights At Light Heavyweight: Do they even exist?

The 1 thing that sticks out the most about Moorer is that he was 1st 'southpaw' HW Champ...
I think it's a bit strange that the sport went through soo many years without a southpaw HW Champ.

They did show his fights on ITV, he would destroy everyone very early, he was a monster puncher at the weight. I remember not setting the VHS as he destroyed someone in about 30 seconds. He was struggling to make weight so he did not have time to unify.

Michael Moorer was possibly the most destructive light heavyweight in the history of the sport !

Didnt Joe Hipp hold the WBF title? He was a southpaw.

Frazier was a lefty, that fought from SDouthpaw occasionally, if that counts.

Pretty sure Tyson was a converted southpaw as well.

The Reason You Are Called A Southpaw Is Becuase You Fight As One , Not Because U Have Converted To A Different Stance , So Yes Moorer Was The First Real Hw Champ As A Southpaw.

Well yes and no. Of course your right, but Tyson, Hagler, Frazier and Oscar(the only converted southpaws I know of) all had extremely powerful jabs and left hooks, which was due to it being their more natural arm. Had they not been southpaws they likely wouldn't have fought the same way..

Frazier often fought southpaw.
