Not exactly a who's who of the heavyweight greats...which leads to the question why are there no ATG heavyweight champions that are lefties?
I thought Moorer could have held on for a while if it wasn't for the big right hand by Foreman. What people don't really know is that he had a terrible alcohol addiction. Especially when he was on top o' the heep.When Foreman landed that shot he turned to a full blown alcoholic and basically IMO drank his skills away.
