    No Moorer did not have a better chin than Bruno.

    If Lewis could plank Ruddock in 2 rounds, I'm sure he'd dispose of glass jaw glass brain Michael Moorer.

    Almost as credible as claiming because it took a 45 year old Foreman 10 rounds to dispose of Moorer a 29 year old Lewis would struggle to do it in less time.:lol::lol:

    Phil Jackson lasted into the 8th round against 1994 Lewis.

    Moorer was only ever stopped 3 times in his entire career. Foreman, Holyfield and then Tua at the end of his career.

    Ruddock was stopped by David Jaco before Tyson and Lewis even got a chance to do it.

    Of course, it is entirely possible that Michael Moorer was scared to fight David Jaco.
    You know, that's probably the reason they never faced each other. :lol:

    I don't see MM having any real useful advantage here. Being a south paw isn't something that would fluster Lewis, and in truth, left hands were pretty useless against him. Couple that with Lewis's size advantage and Moorer's shaky chin, and I don't think this goes too far.

    Everett Bigfoot was the man he should have ducked if truth be told.

    Left hands aren't useless against anyone.

    No but he sure gave him a night's work. More than I think he expected.

    The problem there is I didn't claim Lewis would win inside 1 round, but inside 3? Easily.
