Maurice "The Thin Man" Blocker (born May 15, 1963 in Washington, D.C.) is an American retired professional welterweight (147 lb) boxer who held the WBC, IBF and Lineal Welterweight Championships.
Blocker became a professional boxer in 1982. He lost his first opportunity to win a title in 1987 to Lloyd Honeyghan. In 1990 he captured the lineal and WBC welterweight titles from Marlon Starling, but lost them during his next fight to Simon Brown. In 1991 he defeated Glenwood Brown to capture the vacant IBF welterweight title. He defended the title successfully once and in 1993 moved up a weight class to fight Terry Norris for the WBC light middleweight title. He was TKO'd, and later that year took on Félix Trinidad to defend his IBF welterweight title but was KO'd in the 2nd. He retired in 1995.
