    I think he beats Jones, Seldon , Ruiz , Morrison, Bruno, Toney at heavy, and maybe a decision win over Mercer. Rahman is a tossup. Spinks beats him at 175 but at 200 it’s close. Jones should be favored at 175 as well but not so much at heavy

    Against the big hitters he risks getting sparked at HW. Bruno Mercer and Morrison would be explosive fights

    Michael Spinks would beat Moorer in both categories (HW and LHW). Michael Spinks is ATG LHW after all.
    Moorer would beat RJJ and Toney at heavyweight, and they would beat him at lightheavyweight.
    In the heavyweight division, Moorer would beat John Ruiz, Bruce Seldon, and Tommy Morrison. I'm not sure about the others, and Moorer Vs. Byrd is tricky.

    Honestly i'm not sure on a couple of these match ups.

    At 175 i think Moorer loses to Spinks, RJJ, and beats Toney.

    At Heavyweight i think Moorer beats Toney again, loses to Spinks again, but beats RJJ this time.

    As for the other Heavyweight match ups.....i think Moorer can beat Ruiz, Rahman, Seldon, Byrd.

    A motivated Mercer, Morrison, Bruno, are very dangerous fights which he could easily lose. I'm not entirely sure about the outcomes but he doesn't beat all 3 he definitely picks up a loss or two somewhere.

    Spins had the weirdest style that looked like a crippled crab moving around.......and then boom he would knock out his opponents with ONE punch especially when he was at light heavy.

    Roy and Spinks win at 175 and heavy. Toney probably gets outworked unless he lands a lights out shot at 175, but the guy who showed up for Holyfield would beat Moorer.

    Ruiz loses. Rahman at his best should win. Morrison probably loses. Mercer at his best should get the job done. Beats Byrd. Bruno probably beats him. Seldon from the Tucker fight probably beats him.

    moorer was behind on the cards against jirov before the knock out. saw moorer in first fight after losing to george at the arco arena in sacramento. that loss took a lot out of him. he had foster against the ropes a few times but then would back off, looking for the punch. the heavy hitters think would beat him if pressure is put on him.
