===Heavyweight=== 1991 saw Moorer move up to the heavyweight division. He rolled through the competition en route to securing an opportunity to fight for the vacant WBO heavyweight championship the following year against [[Bert Cooper]]. Moorer stopped Cooper in the fifth round after both fighters were down and hurt during the bout. He did not defend the then-lesser regarded WBO heavyweight belt. Moorer and trainer [[Emanuel Steward]] parted ways after the Cooper fight. Moorer eventually joined [[Lou Duva]]'s team, and was trained by Georgie Benton for three fights in 1993, including a 10-round decision win over former champion [[James "Bonecrusher" Smith]]. Moorer then parted ways with the Duvas and Benton, and hired New York-based trainer [[Teddy Atlas]] in late 1993. Moorer closed the year with a ten-round decision over Mike Evans.
