    Who do like? I think Moorer has the speed and skills to keep up with Byrd, and the power to TKO him late.

    Both at their best i think Moorer stops him. People forget the blend Moorer had of speed skill and power, he could bully Byrd imo

    I think I have Byrd UD here.

    I really don't rate Moorer at all though.

    I respect that he went in against the HW champ and did a job, but I just don't see an amazing talent when I watch him fight.

    I never thought Moorer was really great, but just looked at his record, and he has a very good one actually. I think Chris would school him though

    Bryd in an very unpopular decision win imo. Chris has all the moves to frustrate him but Moorer s shots have the more visible effect. At the end most think MM got it in the bag but split Dec for Bryd.

    Moorer is the better fighter, he has the speed enough to catch Byrd, he had great power and skill.

    Byrd by UD in a frustrating snoozer.
