    Could Weaver blast him out or would Moorer be too good?

    A right bust up imo. I'm edging towards Moorer by ko after being down himself more than once.
    I'll go for MM ko 11.

    I’m trying to remember if Weaver ever fought any southpaws. Some guys handle that better than others.

    Two generally low-punch-output guys with real power, could be fun. Or could be a bore.

    Lean to Moorer’s jab being the difference in a UD.

    This could go several ways imo. Since Weaver was so inactive much of the time, Moorer could win an easy decision. On the other hand, Moorer might hurt Weaver really bad early and Weaver would rally back from the scare. I would also say that if Foreman got the late KO over Moorer, Weaver could do it too. Easily a BMD.

    Yeah, I think MM would withstand the onslaught and he hit hard enough to stop Weaver.

    In a 15 round fight, Weaver would knock him cold in the final rounds after taking a pretty good beating.

    In a 12 round fight Michael wins unanimously, despite perhaps getting knocked down.
