    Yes without a doubt but he was a good fighter, what is interesting is how easy it is to pick a top ten but how hard it is to pick the next five.

    I find it hard to believe no one has Michael Moorer on their list he was lineal champ and for my money in his prime he defeats Tubbs, Witherspoon and others that people have listed maybe Chris Byrd too.

    Moorer would not defeat a prime tim witherspoon. moore got knocked out by a fat 45 year old man.

    Foreman could knock anyone out, Withersoon was no bum Moorer would get a points win over him.

    My question too..if a guy is still alive and has been retired for 15 years, he's just as irrelevant to the scene today as a dead man.
