Re: Bob Foster vs. Michael Moorer
Foster wins by ko. But not early, Probably after 8 rounds.
The only early KO Moorer suffered was against Tua later in his career.
I can't see Foster taking him out faster than Holyfield or Foreman did

Re: Bob Foster vs. Michael Moorer
I can.
Foster was a brutal puncher at 175; may be the hardest punching light heavy ever.
It took an ancient Foreman a while to land it, but as soon as he did Moorer was out.
Tua barely hit Moorer with anything and he knocked him out.
When you a brutal puncher (who is skilled and has a decent work rate) up against a guy with a glass jaw, it usually doesn't last long.

Moorer took bombs from Holyfield and Foreman before falling. I would not call that a glass jaw.Ambling Alp II wrote: ↑23 Sep 2022, 11:11 I can.

The first fight with Holyfield he lasted 12 rounds and took several hard clean shots.
Getting knocked out does not mean you have a glass jaw

Re: Bob Foster vs. Michael Moorer
He took bombs from Holyfield and Foreman? huh?
Holyfield looked terrible in their first fight. The only time he got anything going he knocked Moorer down.
In the second fight, Moorer got knocked down 5 times.
Foreman landed hardly anything of note until he knocked out Moorer. Hard to imagine anyone with a good chin getting knocked out from that.
He got decked twice by Bert Cooper. He was in trouble in fights against Alex Stewart, Botha, and Schulz.
Watch the Tua fight. Tua barely even hit him and he was down.
