Michael Moorer: The GOAT Light Heavyweight Puncher and don't you tell me otherwise

The argument is Foster's power didn't translate nearly as well to heavyweight. As a heavyweight Moorer hit harder than all of the above, which to me suggests he had better power than they did at 175, it was just never proven vs a class opponent.

 

When Moorer was a light heavyweight he was a heavyweight. I would be very surprised if he was ever under 190 at fight time during that phase of his career. Closer to 200, I would think. I know a guy that fought him and he said he was huge and that he hit like a truck.
Kronk was way ahead of the pack and fast out the gate when it came to taking advantage of the day before weigh ins. That is a skill that a trainer or s&c guy should have to be effective and being able to cut and rehydrate while being able to fight is a gift not all boxers have.

 

Give me Archie Moore and Bob Fitzsimmons over him.

 

He clearly gets an incomplete .. not enough to go on .. I do know that Stewart was exceptionally high on him at 175 as all time great potential and power .. the division sure had monster punchers .. has Satterfield been mentioned here yet ? I remember reading the Louis thought Bob was a better pure puncher than Marciano ..

 

I’m saying Tyson looked much more devastating against weaker opponents. Obviously the power is there, but if your opponents aren’t that great I don’t think we could say your a goat puncher
