    I was watching Moorer vs Stewart and noticed his rear hand was held a lot lower than AJ`s was vs Povetkin, I feel AJ would have been knocked out if his rear hand hadn`t block so many hooks from Povetkin and Wlad, so I feel Pov would have KO`d Moorer at that stage of Moorer`s heavyweight career, meaning that AJ probably would have been too much for Moorer also. I feel Povetkin is far better than Stewart was and Alex gave Moorer a lot of trouble, and he hit him far too often, what does anyone think?

    Moorer likely gets knocked out by Joshua- he never had the greatest whiskers and despite his skills, I don’t see him winning this fight

    I feel Moorer was overrated when he first moved to heavyweight, he was getting hit far too much.

    Does it seem like there are as many Joshua threads in classic as there are in general?

    Moorer was a bit hit or miss at Heavyweight. I could see both of those guys stopping him. He could punch tho so there might be a moment or two.

    Moorer had such an odd career. At LH he destroyed everyone that he faced and probably was one of the all time best at LH but never got to fight one of the top guys like Hill or Maske to prove it. I think he easily would have won the Cruserweight belt had he stopped there first. He beat some pretty good heavyweights but is more remembered for his KO losses to Foreman and Tua who are two of the all time hardest punchers.

    At his beat I think he beats Povetkin. I would not count him out against AJ either.

    Moorer just didnt have the Punch resistance. aj most likely ko´s him quick. povetkin vs Moorer would have been much Closer to call. Moorer could have beaten him imo.
