    Moorer outboxes Toney and wins on points

    Moorer takes this. Moorer isnt the type of ponderous heavyweight that Toney seemed to do well against. He may even knock him out.

    Moorer by close points win, based on his shotgun jab

    I would fancy Moorer's sharp, precise and fast punching over somebody like Peter who gives an operator like Toney time to slip or prepare for the incoming. It's simply a matter of styles imho. That said I've gone over quite a few threads at random on the internet on this hypothetical and a lot of people think Toney might have the edge. In the words of Rumsfeld "what the hell do I know?"

    I see Toney catching Moorer perfectly with counter right hands on the chin and left temple and stopping him.

    Bad style match up for Toney…. But he’s got about a million times the mental fortitude, I could see him catching up to Moorer with a come from behind stoppage win.

    At LHW I'd say Moorer, Moorer's power hand was his jab and Moorer's left hand lines up to be able to land through Toney's defense. Toney leans to the right and thats good against overhand rights but not lefts. No way he stops him though.

    Oddly at HW I'd say Toney, Moorer got older, slower and lethargic and was not as accurate.

    Not sure who wins but this could be an absolute classic.

    I think Mooreres activity rate would be a bit much for Toney, but things could still get interesting going into the last 4 rounds

    are you sure? Moorer has never been a busy fighter.

    I'm comparing him to HW JT, and I think he was far more avtive

    far busier, certainly not. busier, perhaps but do you have any punch stats for comparison?

    No bro, I don't walk around with punch stats of random fighters in my pocket. What the hell is wrong with you?
