    Wilder’s peak reflexes and handspeed were several fold better than 95 Foreman’s. He one shotted Luis Ortiz which is levels better than doing it to Moorer.

    Thomas, Williams and Tillis were totally shot though to the point that the wins are basically meaningless

    Nahh, Moorer was a better HW than Ortiz.

    And Moorer was vulnerable to the late ko which was Wilders stock and trade

    Moorer is light years better than anyone Wilder ever beat.
    Moorer UD.
    Mercer and Tua both beat him.
    Beats Golota. Or Andrew beats himself.
    Probably beats Tommy

    Mercer and Tua both beat him, as everyone mentioned above. As for the others, Szpilka was outboxing Wilder until he got knocked unconscious, so Moorer could definitely win a decision. If Golota lands any of the biggest blows he did against Bowe, he knocks Wilder out without question. Morrison has a chance at a KO, but he probably gets KO'd himself. Overall, the best case scenario for Wilder is going 2–3.

    Moorer beat Holyfield. Ortiz's best win is Bryant Jennings. Moorer was the champ, Ortiz wasn't. Moorer got more wins over ranked opposition too. Yes, not even close.

    They have the same number of wins over ranked opposition. Also, I have eyes.

    Your profile picture doesn't prove it.

    Wilder has 5 stoppages from round 8 or later.
    Moorer has 5 stoppages from round 8 or later.

    Wilder has been stopped 1 time from round 8 or later.
    Moorer has been stopped 2 times from round 8 or later.

    There's almost nothing between them stat wise. Moorer has 7 extra fights at this stage.

    See my post, above.

    Moorer isn’t a ten title defenses guy either.

    Not really. He got totally embarrassed by a faded Holyfield in the rematch and an old ass George Foreman.
