After watching some Tommy Morrison fights and getting a re look at the guy I was wondering how would he do if he was in his prime for the current Heavyweight scene? He had some good offense and some pretty impressive punching power.. What do you all think?
Tommy Morrison had tremendous skill and power. He had a horrible chin. He also had a thirst for drugs,booze and women. You can say if,if,if with him.
I really enjoyed his fights and thought it was a shame he couldn't keep his head straight.
To answer the question, he would have been very competetive now. He would be the favorite against Ruiz and Byrd..and an underdog against VK.
Morrison had one of the best left hooks that i've seen. The only problem with Morrison was his glass jaw. He beat George Foreman though, so maybe his jaw was gettin better before he got aids. I think a prime Morrison would have all the belts against todays heavyweights.
He had a good enough offense to beat any of the current Heavyweights, but he also had the Defense to lose to the same group of current Heavies. If I remember it right I read somewhere that Razor Ruddock actually said the he thought that Morrison hit harder than Tyson, so he could probably KO any contender out right now, it's just that his chin and lackluster defense that would like always hurt him in the fights.
The only Heavyweight champion that I think could give Tommy real trouble right now is Vitali cause of his size, Morrison didn't fare to well against big fighters that like to use their size advantage kinda like when he fought Lennox.
Also maybe Brewster only because of his ability to take punishment and continue to fight on.
....Don't forget that Pinklon Thomas also said that Morrison punched harder than Tyson.
Is Morrison a Fag then? If he's not when I get done with him. He can send his pretty little girlfriend over to my house and I will show her whats its like to be with a real man.
