    The ole Mongoose himself when asked who hit him the hardest, cited The Hatchet man, when you consider the amount of punchers Moore fought, high praise indeed, he also had Burley as the best fighter he fought, siad Moore " he was slick as lard, and twice as greasy" that's good enough for me, I didn't share the ring with either.....
    stay safe guys.

    He held the wba “regular” belt. Too many belts. Viewed more as a number 1 contender belt imo

    Keep in Morrison. That WBO belt back then was about as credible as the NABF or USBA belt. Minor title but not major or taken seriously, so not a world title in my view.
