    He wasnt even really a brawler, he was just a guy who stood flat footed and came forward or countered his opponent. His style consisted of catching a lot of punches off his gloves and sides and firing back, something that doesnt go along with having a suspect chin. This fight says it all.

    Is Moorer still considered active? I know he KO'd Tyson's cousin Clifford Couser in ONE round a year or so ago...... Is Moorer done?? I heard that the sum ***** was broke...... WTF? He made millions from his title fights of the 1990s......

    He is retired and he is broke. His money like so many before him was mismanaged and lost in poor investments. He was renting an apartment in south Florida, but now he is working at the Wild card gym as a second assistant to Freddie Roach

    I think he's the most accurate fighter the last 20 years or so. As a LH, he was deadly and he sure was a pinpoint puncher whenever he was 215 or thereabouts. When he went up in weight some of that accuracy left.

    It's always hard to have great careers from the guys who just don't love the sport though.

    I agree 100%......... Moorer was good to great between 175 to 215 pounds...... Too bad he lost focus.......... He had good technique.....:deal

    You know the other most accurate fighter the last 20 years is Michalczewski. I would've loved to have seen those 2 go at it if say Moorer stayed at lh and it took place instead of that Barber fight.

    The mans heart wasn't in the sport from day one. He was always a brooding fighter with little love for the sport, always conflicted.

    Hell of a career for that kind of mindset, though.
