Assuming McCall hadn't beaten Lewis this fight could have happened in early '95. Lennox probably wouldn't have switched trainers had he remained undefeated, so assume it's the same Lewis that fought Ruddock, Tucker, Bruno ie the more sloppy version of Lennox. How does this go? Does Moorer give him a rough time with his southpaw stance and accurate power-punching?
Have to go with Lewis.. Moorer of course had enough power to land something damaging, but left hooks weren't particularly useful when facing Lennox and moorer's chin and smaller size would place him at a disadvantage
Lewis wins. You can say what you want about Moorer's stance and that that Lewis was sloppy and had bad defense. But Moorer just hadn't the size, the chin to take Lewis' punches, and power to one-punch KO him like McCall and Rahman did. In addition, Moorer was never super-cautious, so it most likely won't last the distance.
This is a huge factor. Moorer rarely if ever fought intelligently and used caution. His own stupidity was his biggest enemy.. He was comfortably ahead against Goerge foreman but couldn't resist going for the knockout... He paid the price...
Lewis by KO. Moorer might have a few good moments but eventually Lewis catches him with something big and it's over. Moorer is right handed but fought as a lefty. His right jab was very solid. His hooks and uppercuts from either side were also solid. His straight left, left cross, and overhand left weren't as solid as one might think.
Im not a fan of Lennox Lewis at all. But i will admitt that he knocks Moorer out in around the mid rounds.
