Marciano vs Michael Moorer

Germanicus · Sep 30, 2014

Well the winning pick is Marciano of course. But Moorer doesn't get alot of credit here. Rocky, wasn't much bigger than the LHW's that Moorer simply dominated. A prime HW Moorer at his best weight of 215, could do enough damage to get a TKO win over Marciano

Granted, Moorer doesn't rate all time with a Walcott, Charles, Louis or Moore. But this is hypothetical, and Moorer is in his prime. Moorer, wouldn't be a 185-195lb HW and he's also not 34-40, and a somewhat past his prime fighter. Marciano most likely wins, but Moorer could bust up a smaller Marciano enough to get a TKO stoppage.

Moorer gets hurt badly eventually.

I won't argue weather or not Michael Moorer was "better" than the aged versions of Charles or Moore who Marciano beat as I don't think "better" is as relevant as his being "different." This is a dissimilar challenger to the kind Rocky faced. Marciano should probably be favored but I can't see this being an easy fight. David Tua was the only fighter to make short work of Moorer and that was when Michael was 35 years old and on the comeback trail.

Moore was good enough to beat Radamacher 6 years after his loss to Rock and Pete R was good enough to challenge Patterson in his first pro fight.
8 years later Moore was a good enough opponent for Ali.

When was Charles in his prime exactly because he was giving up loses all throughout his career from the start.

Marciano wasn't at his best when he fought Kockell himself. He had a tough fighting career in the ring and in training and he retired one fight later.

Rademacher had no business anywhere near a world titile fight it was an absolute disgrace.Archie Moore was surrounded, lapped ,and generally beaten up by Ali how many rounds did he win? Good enough my arse!

You remember when Marciano blasted 180 pound Ted Lowry away in 2 rounds? Yeah it was amazing. You remember when he fought 160 pound glass chin Archie Moore who was pushing 50 and still took 10 rounds to knock him out? Amazing.

Wait Moorer got knocked down by Bert Cooper a guy who could hurt Holyfield. Something Tyson or Lewis couldn't do. But since Moorer was knocked down by him clearly he had a glass chin. Sure Mike Tyson got knocked out by Holyfield to. But since Moorer got knocked down and got by up over and over again like a warrior that means he had a glass chin. Sure Tua knocked out a lot of other fighters. Sure he had a rock hard chin. Being knocked out by him means you have the worse chin in boxing history.

Mind you Michael Moorer was a drunk by then. But who cares. Tua was a lighter puncher than Chris Byrd. Yep everybody and their moms knocked out Moorer. Sure he was only stopped 3 times in over 50 bouts. But because Marciano knocked out a glass chin 160 pound fighter in Moore who was 50 but the time and got blown out in one round his prime. And because Marciano knocked out 175 pound washed up Ezzard Charles who could of been in the begging stages of ALS. And because he knocked out 50 year old Jersey Joe Walcott who had 15 loses and got clipped various times in his career earlier than Marciano did it. And finally knock out a 50 year old Joe Louis who had a glass chin and fought some many bums in his prime they called the fighters the bum of month ( Seriously he once fought a guy for the title who was knocked out in his previous fight).

This proves that Marciano was the fastest, most powerful human being who ever lived. Michael Moorer would be murdered by Marciano.

Michael Moorer in 3 rounds tops.
