Why did michael moorer

Because he wanted an idiot like you to ask this question on a forum where the answer is already obvious.

 

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and weight making issues!

 

Money and killing himself making LHW.

 

for the same reason every fighter who has dominated one weight class moves up

 

Same reason Holyfield, Michael Spinks, Bob Foster, Ezzard Charles, Billy Conn, Chris Byrd, James Toney, Archie Moore and all the rest moved up. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

Chasing money and or looking for a better challenge.

 

he couldnt make weight

 

Money.

If there was more money at 175, he would have stayed there (no matter if he had to starve to make weight).

 

There is no greater prize than becoming the heavyweight champion. Any fighter who thinks they have a chance at becoming heavyweight champ would do it.

 

Not to mention first southpaw heavyweight champion in history.

 

money bro...

 

We're talking about Moorer here so that 2nd part is debateable.

 

Money,and of course,glory.Being the heavyweight champ of the world is tombstone material.

 

Money, and he didn't like starving himself making weight.

Michael Moorer @ LHW= Edwin Valero

Awesome record, limited opposition.
