    In 57 professional fights, Moorer was only knocked out by Foreman and Tua so the whole being knocked out by anyone that had KO is completely false. I still would bet on Tyson bit the glass cannon narrative about Moorer is absolutely BS. Foreman and Tua are two of the heaviest punchers ever. No shame in being knocked out by those two.

    Comeback Foreman stopped nobody besides Moorer and the Ghost of Cooney. Full stop

    Glass chinned Morrison/Stewart/Saverese./Grimsley went all the distance with him.

    One trick Pony Tua at least waxed some green future ABC beltholders. but otherwise he did not KO anybody in a meaningful fight.

    Moorer needed 12 to get rid of Botha who a Tyson impersonator stopped in 5 with one 8 inch travelling punch.

    A shot to shid stoned Tyson made Golata quit with basically one punch..........it took Tyson only one round longer than far fresher Lewis to finish Golata.

    Holyfield Tyson is running thru Moorer like a hot knife thru butter

    When you go life and death with cannonfodder Cooper and Stewart your Goose is absolutely cooked even vs a washed up post prison Tyson.

    Tyson would stop him in 4-6 rounds.

    You've convinced me.. Tyson would have some off-balance moments vs. Moorer.

    Even though this matchup seems all wrong for Moorer.

    Tyson fought Botha in '99 not '96.

    I'm not disputing Tyson winning. I'm just pointing out that Moorer was only Koed twice by legit punchers. I'm disputing the notion that he is some fragile daisy.
