Same. Wlad would methodically outbox and KO Moorer. Maybe even earlier, as Mooirer's chin was quite weak.

Almost as weak as Klitschko's.

I actually think this could go to a decision even though both were chinny with power, lots of pawing and standing off, I'd guess Wlad takes a decision without much in it

They both defo had chin issues and more than enough power to hurt the other. Though people always seem to focus on Wlad's chin (which was poor admittedly) when in fact his stamina was behind more of his stoppage losses. Just totally gassed out vs Purrity and Brewster, a good chin wouldn't have saved him there.

Also was fading in the last few rounds before AJ got him late. He at least was not so chinny enough to ever be just laid out, he always got up. The stamina was behind his change into an ultra cautious guy more than chin.

Watch a young Wlad, just a total offensive juggernaut with every punch in the book and excellent and very athletic combinations for a shw. Man he was fun to watch back then, but he didn't have the gas tank to back that type of output up over a long fight.
