First southpaw to fight for the heavyweight championship
First southpaw to win the heavyweight championship

Moorer was the more celebrated fighter with whom people are more familiar, but he was infamous for submitting less than one-hundred per cent, & I believe Mildenberger runs him a merry chase. Even so, an on-song Moorer was simply the better fighter all-round, even if he wasn't the force at Heavyweight he was beginning to become at Light-Heavy. Moorer UD12 in a competitive, point-scoring affair.

- Not really even close. Moorer bigger, stronger, more powerful, in short, early to mid round KO.

Now, I like Mildy for the good fight he put up against a clearly confused Ali, but at best he was briefly the class of the Euro heavies, not world class. Only name opponents he beat were the much diminished Rademacher and Machen in hometown decisions. I'll give him Rademacher, but sure love to see the Machen fight.

Moorer, no question.

It'd be interesting to watch. But Moorer does everything better
and has all the advantages.
