    If Bowe's the way he was for the first Holyfield fight,he stops Moorer.

    Bowe was and would have been Moorer's granddaddy .

    A 94 Bowe isn't a 92 Bowe - Bowe was just months away from a struggle with Hide.

    I see Moorer taking this UD with a slight chance of a TKO

    I misread this thread at the start. I take Moorer,by decision.

    No matter when they fought i would always have Bowe stopping Moorer. I don't reckon Micheal would have the confidence to beat a man of that calibre and size. That's not underselling Moorer, infact he might be right in the fight for a while, but i'm pretty sure he would find a way to lose and Bowe would find a way to win.
    Bowe stoppage around the 9th.

    Mismatch. I know Moorer officially won a title twice, but he was not a champion-calibre boxer.

    Bowe and Lewis are the worst possible opponents for Moorer. Or a Sanders even. Micheal is not going to work hard enough and does not absorb punishment enough to get inside the distance of a guy like Bowe to have much hope to land anything of his own. He'd have to take 1.5 steps to land and Bowe was always throwing combos so he is always in the danger zone. He cannot last 36 minutes in that danger zone and absorb punches for that duration. Let alone considering he'd be walking into punches.

    Good point and thinking about it i may have been generous giving Moorer 9 rounds.

    Sanders ...that would have been interesting too. Two of the most powerful lefties in HW history. I think Big Daddy would have beaten Moorer but at the same time would have to endure some rough waters. I think this might have been the first time Bowe gets dropped but gets back up and takes it to Moorer in the later rounds for a UD or TKO win.

    Bowe wins easy here, but he might not look good until he lands his best.

    Bowe would still decapitate him. Moorer was too small

    Bowe is too big for Moorer and destroys him in 2 or 3. Moorer's chin would not hold up to a big heavyweight.
