    Would Shaver's crack Moorers chin ?
    Or would his skills out last Earnie s stamina?

    Plays like Foreman - Moorer but at a faster speed, in rough terms.

    Give old Foreman some speed and agility, take away half his skills, half his stamina and 90% his ring IQ... and you get Shavers.

    Moorer can win if he can follow faithfully the blueprint used against Foreman: keep your distance, dont stand iddle in front of him, refuse brawling, just snap shot and outbox to a safe victory.

    But if Moorer repeats the mistake of standing in front, chances are he goes down again.

    Good question...

    Honest answer is they would both probably win some and lose some if they fought several times.

    If I had to bet on a single fight I'd probably put my money on Moorer.

    I think it’s a pick ‘em fight honestly. I might make Moorer the slight favorite as I believe he was a bit more rounded as a fighter. But both men could and most likely would hurt each other
