    Moorer was a beast at LH... He had a huge natural size and strength advantage against everyone he fought at that weight... Although Tiger is way above Moorer in terms of historical impact and greatness I still like Moorer big in this matchup.... Moorer KO 3 Tiger similar to what Bob Foster accomplished.

    If Moorer is mentally there, I pick him. Underrated fighter. Possibly because of his personality.

    Tiger is giving away a lot physically...its going to be hard going for him.

    But I dont see MM "doing a Foster" on him...And if Tiger's chin and savvy can get him into the late rounds (which I think they very well could) then thats new territory for Moorer.

    I'm picking Tiger to do as he did against the younger and stronger and harder hittng Jose Torres...the Foster thing ain't gonna happen..Tiger wins this one on savvy and because he was an old hand at travelling the 15 round route..he would surprise everyone.
