    Michael Moorer is a big lefty with lots of power in both hands. He is a great tactical fighter with lots of experience, so how would he fair against Vlad, who has trouble against southpaws? He has looked like he is in good shape in his last 3 or 4 fights and is ranked as high as #6. How would he do against the current champs?

    Moorer is way passed it. He crumbles when getting attcked now a days. Tua showed how to beat him. Throw bombs and he folds.

    Prime for Prime, would be different. Moorer didn't have the best chin, neither does Wlad but I still see Wlad winning a tough fight.

    Moore was very good in his prime. He beat a prime holyfield decisively the first fight they had.

    If Wlad was more active like he was against Mercer, Peter, Brock...I dont see Moore winning.

    I see...so you think Moorer would have no chance against Wlad. Humm, would it go 12 or would Moorer get KO'ed?

    Wow! Who ranks him #6? I like Moorer but I don't think he has much of a chance against Wlad. Still anything is possible but it sure ain't probable or likely.

    Those rankings mean nothing. Moorer is clearly shot. The last even decent heavy he beat was Jirov, and that was three years ago against a blown up Cruiserweight.

    Moorer won't sniff a title, but doesn't mean he couldn't make for a decent fight against say, Holyfield, another shot, old former champ.

    I'd love to see Moorer-Holyfield III. If Moorer could win the rubbermatch hell let him fight Wlad.

    Moorer-Holyfield would be competitive only because they're both ancient and slow. Surely you're kidding about Wlad. Christians and lions...

    Moorer gets knocked out by Klitschko if they fight today.

    Vlad would knock him out without without any problem.

    Moorer KO'd Shelby Gross in 32 seconds.:bbb
    You never know about these things. I do think it is very unlikely that Moorer would beat Wlad but 50-50 on the Holyfield bout. Actually I would favor Moorer in that one.

    Foreman knocked Moorer out, if Vlad does it Moorer it will be quicker, styles make fights.
