Damn! This is one of the first programs where they included a vignette about then brand new accusations of R*pe against Tyson, and the effects it would have moving forward. Crazy i remember this although i was a child.
I think it interesting seeing the up and coming heavyweights, Bowe,Lewis,Mercer,Morrison and Moorer. The 90's was already stacked with champions such as Holyifield,Tyson and Foreman along with Ruddock,McCall,Holmes,Douglas,Tua,Witherspooon,Bruno and Tucker.I cannot see any current Heavyweight making the top ten of that era.
Manny Stewart knew _exactly_ what he was doing matching Moorer up with a heavyweight slugger who threw big shots, but didn't take a good punch, and was easy to find. Moorer had a better chance than if Stewart was more of a Boxer/Puncher, or (god forbid) an out-boxer.
@@DerpRulesAll I'm a grammar and punctuation freak too. I'm just not consistent with it on YT comments because it takes too much effort. My keyboard is small, hence mistakes are made and fixing them consumes too much time. The Steward thing is just something I see so often on boxing discussions, along with "Eddie HearnS" that I go mad. LOL. Steward is an absolute legend.
Foreman noticed that Moorer does not hold move or feint when hit solid he just stands there and fights back.Foreman swore once he stunned Moorer he would end it with a right to the chin Jim Lampley signed a sworn confession. Foreman held back waiting for his moment. Like Foreman said if I hurt Moorer and don't finish him he will stay away all night .Atlas wrote in his book Foreman s will was too strong.
A TREMENDOUS ERA FOR THE SWEET SCIENCE.
Good fight an win for Michael Moorer
Ironic..Big George commentating on this fight. Years later he knocks Moorer out
I noticed Gerald McClellan came into the ring to congratulate Moorer. Both Moorer and McClellan made a huge mistake to part ways with Emanuel Steward.
Stewart showed the heart he didnt have against Tyson
He probably sensed that Moorer really didn't like boxing, unless he could beat people easily.
Go back and watch his fights fool...lol you wwefans need to go back@Da_Publick
George prophetic when he said a 1rd KO loss doesn't preclude a man from becoming heavyweight champ. Made me think of John Ruiz vs. Tua.
And Darroll Wilson vs Shannon Briggs..
@@omeruzel600 that was round 3, but yes
That right jab of Moorer’s was spectacular!!!
Micheal was a good heavy weight
underrated for sure. one of many good players in a very strong era. if he was around to today he'd be right at the top
This could use a proper thumbnail instead of appearing to be Ray Mercer's story

Well it was the truth
It's interesting to hear Foreman commentate on this fight. I can see why he wanted to fight Moorer down the line.

@@joeblough261 That's _exactly_ how I feel about poor punctuation, and sentence fragments.

They showed them straight Goons of the 90s before the fight ❤
Moorer was good but like Tommy morrison he had power but lacked a chin
I always wanted to them 2 fight
Crazy how skinny Moorer looks here, at heavyweight. Was emaciated at LHW.
Everyone was able to score knockdowns against Stewart except the great Evander Holyfield. This says something about Holyfield’s power or lack thereof
FOREMAN STOPPED MOORER.....AND HE SHOULD HAVE EASILY STOPPED STEWART.
THAT WAS A BELLRINGER OF A FIRST ROUND.
