In 1991, Moorer moved up to heavyweight, dominating competition before facing Bert Cooper for the vacant heavyweight belt in 1992 and emerging victorious after both fighters were knocked down during an exciting slugfest battle that both fighters were knocked out during.
Moorer parted ways with trainer Emanuel Steward following the fight with Cooper and joined Lou Duva’s team for three subsequent fights, training under Georgie Benton.
