Fabio Wardley vs Michael Moorer primes

Moorer was too small and had too crappy of a chin, even if technically superior. Wardley still dropped Dubois twice in addition to his win column.

 

Moorer stood toe to toe with Alex Stewart and Bert Cooper. Moorer by KO

 

Wardley is 6’5, 240+. Cooper was basically a cruiserweight competing at heavy who got stopped multiple times and Stewart was a small heavyweight who ate himself up to 230 for the Moorer fight and had also been stopped multiple times. That doesn’t hold.

And both rocked Moorer before eventually losing.

 

Wardley knows how to punch hard and how to take a hard punch. Nothing else. He has the heart of a warrior but he doesn't know how to fight. He is the least skilled belt holder of all time. Less skilled than Wilder.

Moorer wins this.

 

6'5 240 isn't everything

 

On the worst night of his career, he twice dropped a guy who is physically stronger than Riddick Bowe and took a horrible beating before eventually being stopped on his feet.

you’re right, size isn’t everything.

 

Moorer by knockout. Wardley is too easy to hit, he telegraphs too much, and he relies too much on his power.

Wardley kept overthrowing his right hand and tired himself out against Dubois. Moorer was too good at countering to let Wardley get away with telegraphing his punches all night.

 

I could see Moorer completely outboxing and schooling Wardley.

But on the other hand Wardley could land a hail mary right hand and KO Moorer out of nowhere.

But saying that Wardley isn't as skilled as Foreman despite Foreman's advanced age when he beat Moorer.

Foreman was way more accurate than Wardley with better boxing skills, superior jab, and a pin point straight right hand.

Wardley is wild with the right hand and is very predictable with it aswell.

Dubois who is no defensive master made Wardley miss all night long with his wild right hands after the brief success Wardley had in the early going.

I'd favour Moorer based on his superior skills.

But with his shaky chin against a puncher like Wardley I wouldn't make Moorer a huge favourite let's put it that way.

 

An achievement in itself

 

I'll say Moorer points, Wardley is tough as they come but he would be outboxed quite comfortably by someone like Moorer who was fat better than Huni.

 

Stronger than Bowe?

 

Yes.

 

Moorer.
Outboxes him easily, also a lot is made of Wardleys power, his chin is ridiculous but his power is only better than average, it’s not Foreman or even Wilder level, I can’t see him knocking Moorer out even if he lands a decent punch

 

Wardley was gassed after two last night I imagine it would be a long night for him
