    Moorer had talent, but he also had a lot of sloppy habits, a mediocre chin, and could sometimes be very stubborn and ignore his corner, so he could definitely get stopped by all of the guys mentioned above.

    The man sure had freakish size and freakish power. Heavyweight contenders have gone far on less.

    I'm not calling him a more advanced human being, just a vastly better boxer.

    The Seamus can't lend you eyeballs. The equivalency argument between Tua and Galento is so absurd it is laughable.

    They were both stout and weighed about the same, they both fought out of a crouch, they both had the left hook as their principle punch and they both were hard hitters. I'd say that they are pretty equivalent. If you beat one, you might as well had beaten the other.

    Astute and thorough analysis. You have convinced me.

    Vastly better than Schmeling? No, I don't buy it.

    I'm not going to spend much time watching people that don't impress me. Schmeling, the Baers, Galento, Marciano, and a lot more just don't interest me. If I watch a fighter on video, it's because he jabs, he doesn't lunge, he can move without losing his balance, he doesn't throw punches and then have to reset himself to throw again, he can make fighters miss by fractions, if he moves one foot 6" he moves the other 6", etc. I've seen enough of the ones listed that I'm not going to watch them for my enjoyment or education.

    If you enjoy watching them on video, that's up to you. IMO, what they're doing looks like a bar room brawl at best. If I believed those guys could win against good skilled fighters I wouldn't have any interest in boxing or training.

    Michael Moorer beats Buddy Baer as Marshal Dillon did on the black and white episode of Gunsmoke. But Max Sr was a lot meaner than Buddy who had size. I think that Max would be all over Michael, catching him with right hands and backing him up, Max by TKO 8.

    It would be a factor if he wasn’t going to be put in a clinic, he has no answers for what Moore has to offer he will be stopped on cuts before round twelve or saved by his corner.

    So you haven't seen him and you're just trolling - fine enough. Just the fact that you put Schmeling among crude brawlers like Galento and Baers tells me all I need to know. Schmeling was excellent boxer, but your limited mind refuse to understand that, because he fought before 1960s.
