I like this match-up. Two hard-hitting southpaws. Two members of the Kronk Gym (Moorer trained under Steward during his light heavyweight days).

A light-heavyweight version of Moorer looked like the whole package (great skills and deadly power) and was passing all imaginable eye tests. However, his resume at LHW was thin. If anything, Stevenson is more proven at this weight.

I also wonder whether Moorer was as chinny at LHW as he was at HW.

I predict Moorer to taste the canvas early, but then his skills will carry him through and he'll stop Stevenson late.

Moorer was a beast at LW. I can't see him losing to Stevenson.
