Who was the more destructive 175 WBO belt holder?

it's Kovalev. although Moorer was a big puncher at the weight, but not quite as destructive as the "Krusher"

plus, Moorer's list of opponents were that bad, it made Johnny Nelsons opponents look like members of death row. they were poor.

 

you do know that Moorer had a weak chin as well as being mentally weak don't you?

Sergey would have sent Moorer running up to Heavyweight even quicker than he did do back then.

 

I know he's chin was so bad that he managed to win a belt and have a decent carrier during one of the best eras in heavyweight history. I will like for kovolev to move up to heavy weight and fight a heavyweight equivalence of George Foreman or David Tua. Speaking of Chin, Kovalev was ktfo with a headgear on. Before you talk about chin do your research you moron.

 

i've done my research. it says that the granite chinned Tua also got knocked out while wearing headgear. Kovalev thus far has proven to be all right in that department.

Moorer beat Cooper and Holyfield. that's it. there wasn't any long reign or anything.

Moorer already had his reputation as having a weak mentality and chin before he even fought Foreman as well.

i'm not knocking those wins by the way. just don't like that you're trying to make it out to be more than it was.

 

You see thats the problem with you. You speaks as though Holyfield was bum. You mean to tell me that If you hero Calsaghe whom alter you worship daily on this forum had such a victory on his record you won't be reminding us how he beat the great American heavyweight. Speaking of Cooper, be also reminded that he almost knocked out Holyfield. As bad as the heavyweight division, Kovolev wouldn't make a top ten contender with that chin of he's. Dude you're a biased idiot go to bed.

 

That's 1000 times better than *anything* the TOMATO CAN Krusher has ever done in the ring.

Congratulations on just winning 1st Place @ the Special Olympics, Genius.

Lol..

 

Here is the thing. Even at heavyweight Moore's power was respected by main who were much bigger than him. Not only that the man was highly skilled. This guy kovolev is not skilled enough to do what Moore did. Do you really think that Kovolev would have schooled Big George for ten rounds like Moore did or beat Evander Holyfield. Remember this is the same Holyfield who will later go on to tko mike tyson and have a close fight with Lennox Lewis the second time around.

 

Slightly favour Kovalev but there's not much between them imo.

Kovalev faced the better opposition & is a more natural light-heavy, Moorer looked the more explosive of the 2 but against weaker opposition, plus he was a massive weight cutter at the weight.

I love some of the boxrec analysis in this thread

 

Kovalev

 

Foreman and Holyfield who people see as exceptional chins had respect for Moore power. There is no one on Kovolev's record that Moore wouldn't have knocked out. Holyfield who lost to Moore will KO kovolev and Kovolev wouldn't have last ten rounds with an old george Foreman and thats a fact.

 

Moorer went the distance with Evander Holyfield you idiot. Nobody on the TOMATO CAN Krusher's resume comes within the same hemisphere...
