    Crazy thing with Moore is that he was knocking out top guys when he was well over 40 before steroids were a thing.

    A lot of great names besides his were mentioned, but it seems like all of them that fought into later years had a big dropoff in their ability to score knockouts against elites. For example, Foreman has the big knockout to win the title, but was otherwise seeing a lot of decisions...

    Moore had it all: power, brains, longevity, resilience, et al.

    Artur Beterbiev. He's a much better KO artist than those mentioned.
