    Moore was bigger than Marciano as was evident by him outweighing Marciano in their actual fight. So if Moore managed to make 175 years before and since it is given Marciano could do too . Do you think Moore carried lots of excessive fat into the ring against Marciano ?

    Do some research if you think Haye has proven he hits harder than Moore.

    Moore down against Burley whom was down against charles , in each case more than once

    Moore KOd by Charles after Charles was hurt by Moore

    Moore out by Marciano after flooring Marciano weaker than Walcott did which is no surprise for me.

    Moore had a warrior's attitude in his career and his fights but it does not mean that he hit as hard as Haye.

    Remember that Haye is bigger and that in Moore's times they used less padded gloves .

    Despite those thin gloves Moore could not put away or even stop Charles , Marciano and who knows who else despite being the first to hurt them and actually knocked them down .

    So either he was chinny , or you simply overrate his power.
    Of course he was a heavy puncher at LHW as such a massive LHW whom could barely make the weight and his technique probably helped too , but punch for punch I think Id rather get hit by him than by Haye if I was forced too.
