    Does Moorer outpoint the old Brown Bomber, or does he get foolishly KO'd like he did against Foreman?

    I like Moorer in this one, but I actually think Louis will box much better with Moorer than foreman did. The fight will be close on the cards. I don't think Louis has the fight finishing combinations anymore to do the trick, but his left jab and good fundamentals would keep him in the fight the whole way.

    Moorer majority dec

    Would be a pretty competitive fight.

    Moorer by UD 7-5.

    Michael Moorer has superior handspeed & combination punching ability, against this version of Joe Louis.

    Sure there will be Louis-fans who point to the Old Foreman loss, but '94 Foreman is a lot better fighter H2H than the miserable looking Old Louis who lost to Marciano. Plus Old Foreman has a lot more power.

    1992 to 1994 Moorer has a great shot at taking the aged Louis apart in a time machine.... Moorer has fine power in his mits and also put pretty combo's together, as well.... Louis would be flustered by Moorer's hand speed and southpaw stance, too.... Louis would have to take chances and seek a KO in the early 1950s or he'd be throughly out-boxed and perhaps even stopped by a prime Moorer at heavyweight.... WORD!
