    Moorer's chin wasn't as bad at heavyweight as many make it out to be. The man was only stopped 3 times in 60 fights and they all came against elite heavyweight fighters - one of which when he was well past it. Above 200 lbs, Moorer survived the power of Bert Cooper, Evander Holyfield, Alex Stewart and an aged Bonecrusher Smith who was still well capable of cracking.. That being said, he'd likely be less stoppage prone at 175. Does that mean Qawi couldn't have knocked him out? No.. Absolutely not. But something tells me his whiskers would take more from Dwight than a lot of people think. And that doesn't even factor in his ability to return the favor which I think is ample. :smoke

    This is true and another thing about Moorer is he could be knocked down but unless he was out he'd get back up and comeback at you with everything he had. Very game fighter to go along with a lot of skill.
