    Who wins? Post-prison Tyson or Moorer?

    Tyson KO 1. Tyson was still dangerous early, and, Moorer was vulnerable early. Bad matchup for Moorer.

    Ohh painful ending for MM. He joins Michael Spinks, Marvis Frazier and Bruce Seldon in the 1 round and out club..

    Yeah, this would have been a fatal career move for Michael.

    On the level of standing right in front of George Foreman, thinking you can handle whatever he had to throw.

    Tyson was still a very good fighter post prison…not unbeatable like the 1980s version…but still explosive…though I would have loved to have seen him fight Foreman and Bowe at some stage.
    As for Moorer…I can see nothing but a very bad ending for MM.

    I really think that this was going to happen after the Foreman fight as long as Moorer beat Foreman.

    The fight itself? Tyson KO1-KO3 and it would have elevated Tyson's status as he would of regained the lineal titles from the guy who just beat Holyfield and Foreman (and was unbeaten). Tyson would have been undisputed again for the 2nd time. After that things go back to normal

    Agree remember when Cooper almost stopped Moorer in the first 30 seconds ? Can you imagine even the 96 version of Tyson in that position ?
