Prime Michael Moorer vs Roy Jones at light heavyweight

Really good fight. I got Roy UD.

 

Gotta go with Roy by UD, but really good fight.... Gotta give Moorer the chance of a KO though... Didn't he win all of his LHW fights by KO?

 

Tough fight to call. Moorer was simply awesome at this weight. Id say roy jones jnr via close ud

 

moorer's gonna put jones to sleep

 

Michael Moorer is underated at light heaveyweight. However Jones Jr. is to fast. Jones 10 rounds Moorer 2 rounds.

 

jones= too much speed for mm...

 

Moorer had stamina issues down at 175, he was never a true LHW.

I do rate his chances though, he's got a 40% chance or so to land on Roy's chin and take him out. Otherwise Roy by pretty wide UD, something like 117-111, with Moorer tiring late in the fight and Roy pulling away.

 

Lots a very close rounds as Roy is careful to engage wary of Moorer's power but Micheal doesnt just give Roy points to score he would make it hard for him, Moorer did have alright skills. It could end up one-sided on the cards because I reckon Moorer will get more and more frustrated and would fade later. Allowing Roy to edge more rounds.

7 times out of 10 Roy is to slick to get caught and takes the decision.

 

Moorer was very good at LH, but he was still learning at 175. He was a load, but not an ATG. He definately would have given Roy a heluva fight, but I'd go with Roy.

 

Don't go there, Bob Foster or Michael Spinks would have knocked him the **** out.

 

Spoken like a man who has never seen nor knows nothing about Bob Foster or Micheal Spinks.

 

Excellent post.

 

thats a little overboard. sure both fighters had the ability to do so. but it would be far from a forgone conclusion that they would. both fights are about 50/50 for me

 

As for me, but they are the only two light heavys who I would go as far as suggesting would have a 50/50 shot with Roy.
