    And? Jirov was past his best aswell, and was heavily ahead on points despite two cuts.

    Moorer never had a great chin and his style was perfect for Tua as well, it was that more than him not being at his best. He was hardly shot though.

    Tua would have always beaten Moorer but Moorer was done in 97 in my opinion.

    I agree , that loss to Holyfield really seemed to take it out of him but he had a bit left, not like say Riddick Bowe now, but point taken

    Overrated

    Had a lot of the tools, but never put it together. Too many excuses on him and too many weird expectations of him having a legit chance vs the Klitsckos.
