    Moorer was a strange cat.
    As said, his chin was certainly nothing special at heavyweight, and in this division a fighter who can't take a heavyweight shot is always at a disadvantage.

    Moorer also seemed tentative and hesitant at times, and not only at heavyweight, but at light heavyweight as well.
    Leslie Stewart was kicking his butt in their fight, with Manny Steward imploring Moorer to start throwing punches.
    He finally woke up in the eighth round and put Stewart away, but that was the first time I noticed Moorer failing to let his hands go. He did a similar thing against an ailing Holyfield.
    Yet, he and Cooper went to war an an amazing fight.

    He claimed he loved violence and horror movies, yet never showed a real mean streak.
    Bit of a stange guy...

    I like Moorer to outbox McCall and Briggs, stop Seldon and Morrison

    As others have said, the top row murder him.

    I think he would stop Herbie Hide and Orlin Norris as well.
