    I love Marvin, one of my all time favs, but the LH Moorer would have been a tough nut for him to crack

    Great matchup! So frustrating that we never got to see Moorer fight the top guys at LH like Maske and Hill. I feel like he was good enough to beat anyone at LH and would have beat both of those guys which would have him in the hall of fame.

    Marvin was a great fighter as well during g a time when the LH division was full of world beaters.

    Johnson faced much better competition and is more accomplished, only losing to the very best in his prime. Moorer is physically a bit bigger. Both have leaky defense and good power. Both can be hurt. Johnson is busier. Johnson's experience will serve him well allowing him to survive the early rounds when Moorer will be dangerous. It will be a war and at some point, Johnson will hurt Moore and pour it on. Johnson by mid rounds tko.
