    Yes he faced his toughest challenge young and defended a good amount of times but it was against nobodies. He had plenty of interest at lhw but just couldn’t make the weight anymore. He fought nobodies and defended his belt against nobodies. At least Beterbiev beat another elite opponent and got an extra belt. You make it seem like Moorer is the goat lhw

    I admit that moorer's oposition could have been better (way better). But the level of competition that beterbiev has faced is the same. The only difference is gvozyk, and it took 8 years. Imho moorer is a more talented fighter than beterbiev any day of the week, every week of the year. And had he spent half the amount of time beterbiev has spent at lhw he would have cleaned the division twice. He's not atg lhw, but moorer was incredibly talented and very very good lhw. He decided to move, good for him, the money is in hw, I wont blame him. But I wont pick beterbiev to win to him, I just think that moorer is the better fighter.

    I'll go with this, it does put Beterbiev in the proper perspective. Moorer stops him

    I would like to admit in public that Toney F***U is right when he said that there was more to do at LHW and moorer didnt do it. I was a bit of a fanboy.

    Still, I prefer moorer and I consider him a better fighter than beterbiev, by a good margin.
