    Upon reviewing the count, it seems that Moorer was on His feet by the count of 8, 9 at latest. Is it just me or did anyone else catch this?

    I didn't remember it that way, just re-watched the footage, and it looked to me that he was down for the ten and would have been down for 11-12.

    He was going to get flattened,his head and neck were far too small to take a heavyweight shot, Foreman was closing in on him all during that round it wasn`t a lucky punch at al, he would have finished him, Moorer was not that effective at heavyweight at all.

    Michael Spinks had a smaller head than him which is probably why he grew a large afro in his light heavyweight days to make his head look bigger.

    No. Not only was he not up but he was on his knees and forearms at the count of 10!

    In the Ali fight Foreman was asked once what would have happened had the ref ruled he had beat the count ,Foremen replied " he'd have knocked me down again" Goes here too.
