    Anything to pump up Old Foreman’s singular win over ranked fighter….

    Moorer got dropped like six times by Holyfield. He wouldn’t ever beat Tua.

    Acting like Tua is anywhere near Holyfield lmao.

    OT: FARR less than Moorer made Tua look stupid but Moorer could be very hittable at times.

    Interestingly, Tua was Holyfield’s sparring partner back then, but Holyfield managed to fight Vaughn Bean instead of Tua. Interesting stuff.

    You’re also probably Moorer’s nephew.

    Yeah, in 98 when Tua seemed out of ideas against the ATG Jeff Wooden. But Im sure Holyfield was terrified, after all he only fought Lennox Lewis after who made Tua look about as threatening as Paulie Malignaggi.

    You are probably a side missus of Foreman who discovered she wasn’t the main one a bit too late.

    Ask John Ruiz about Holyfield and Tua.

    Moorer gets knocked out again by Tua.
    He just hasn't got the chin to take those hard hitters.
    If Bone crusher had been ten years younger then he'd have flattened Moorer.

    I am not sure what measuring stick you use to determine when a fighter is past their prime but, in 2002, Tua was 29 years old - 5 years younger than Moorer - and was turning in the same level of his much of a muchness performances, both before and after their bout.

    Moorer, by then, was an utter wreck who had failed to impress on his return (in 2000) after three years out of the ring.

    Seven years earlier and it's a much different fight.

    Tua from the Cameron fight blasts out any Moorer.
