    I feel it was Moorer, but Cooper had Moorer on the floor when they fought and Stewart pushed him close also, so who was Foreman`s best win during his second career?

    Michael Moorer he was easily outboxing Foreman until he decided to try to stand there and slug it out with Foreman.

    Since Michael Moorer stopped both Bert Cooper and Alex Stewart in those fights before they all fought George, it’s hard to make a case against Moorer not being a better fighter than both Cooper and Stewart.

    Moorer by a good bit. Shannon Briggs was a solid win. Cooper was smoking Crack for 3 days prior to entering the ring with Big George. When they said Smokin Joe, that's not what they meant.

    Moorer. It's really a no brainer.

    Easily Moorer.

    Funny you mention Cooper because that is one of the fights where he quit. Qawi, Stewart, and Schultz all did better, and even Cooney put up a hell of a fight for two rounds. Ken Lakusta almost got the upset of the century.

    Moorer, without a doubt.

    Briggs got the verdict over George and was more robust v Lewis than Moorer would have been, he was very fragile.

    Can anyone put together a credible argument for it not being Moorer?

    Moorer, which to me was not that great a win. He was a former light heavyweight.
