i dont think he would win TBH but by the same token i would not be shocked if he did manage to pull it off
He would definitely have a puncher's chance.
That's thy only time when Morrison can catch Wlad IMO, when Wlad is moving backwards to circle back to center right, he leans back which leaves him a bit open for that left hook but Morrison would need to react quickly because he's much smaller than Wlad which means he has to pursue Wlad and punch upwards which means he would lose some snap and speed on his punches. I don't think he can do it.

Morrison wasn't the type of fighter who put consistent relentless pressure on an oponent though, he isn't like a Brewster but yes Wlad doesn't deal well with consistent relentless pressure.
And Brewster took a lot of punches from Wlad in their first fight before Wlad wilted, I'm not sure if Morrison would be able to take those kind of shots.
What im getting at is if morrison pressured Wlad and with his strong punches i think Wlad would buckle under pressure and get knocked out as seen in some of his previous fights. Wlad has the tools to be a very good fighter but his scared to get hit has no heart and cant handle pressure fighters. He only wins when he gets comfortable and is controlling the bout. But the pressure gets to him. Theres nothing special about Vlad because he doesnt know how to take advantage of his physical advantage like lewis did. I respect lewis Wlad i lost respect after i realised how shit he really is.
but he is open to looping shots over the top when backed up based on the fact he is 6ft 5 he also gets very disorganised when he is backed up he tries to stiff arm his oponents to keep them away from him

He does go back but when he goes back, his back rarely touches the ropes, he circles back to the center of the ring and claims ring center again.

he is right though Wlad is inclined to back up more the difference i see between Lewis and Wlad is Lewis would hold the centre of the ring and conrol the centre of the ring with his jab which IMO gave him a bigger advantage of keeping his oponents on the outside and back on their heels ,Wlad IMO is more inclned to conceed space because he is scared of getting hit and he does not dominate the centre of the ring like Lewis did also Lewis had a great uppercut when people would try to walk in
im not saying Morrison would win but i think it would differ slightly from the Lewis fight

The point is, Morrison couldn't find a way past Lewis' jab so if Wlad comes out like he always does nowadays and starts pumping his jab and keep his right hand up by his head, he'd be able to dictate the pace and distance.
Lewis and Wlad have similar stiff, strong, fast jabs.
Overall, Lewis was a much better fighter but their jabs were similar and with Manny Steward in his corner, he'd know the right strategy to beat Morrison.

There is a big difference between Lewis and Wlad, Lewis is a more complete fighter who had a good chin and didnt back up like Wlad would. Wlad wouldnt stand a chance, Tommy has hard punches and would pressure Wlad and he backs up to much.so you really cant compare Lewis and Wlad because they are totally different fighters

Morrison doesn't have great defense either, Lewis and Wlad have similar jabs, Lewis totally controlled Morrison with his jab, I see pretty much the same thing happening with Wlad unless Wlad gets caught by Morrison's left hook.

Ive never heard of Tommy Morrison. But, I am certain Vladimir would win, because I am very confident with his abilities.
Of course you have. Remember Rocky 5? Tommy Gunn?
That's Tommy "The Duke" Morrison

Go to youtube and find out who Tommy morrison is and you will see how easily he will knock wlad out

Tommy was a big puncher with a weak chin. He was pretty much a come forward guy, but occasionally used boxing ability like when he won his title via 12 round decision over George Foreman.
Well the last fight showed any ounce of pressure Wlad couldnt cope with it
Wlad is only champ because its a very bad era in heavyweight boxing not one legit contender or champion. Theres no comparison to post Lewis quality of boxers is dropped like the american dollar
Wlad would get KO,d easily
for god sakes he barely one his last fight and they guy was one of the shittest challenges for a world title ive ever seen
tommy punches would be too hard and would put to much pressure on Wlad
Tommy 3rd KO
it would be interesting to see how Wlad would have coped if Morrison preassured him i think we all agree Wlad is at his most vulnerable when he is under preassure

Wlad would probably use his jab to control the pace and distance until he landed a right hand that ends the night for Morrison but Morrison would have a puncher's chance because he had a nasty left hook.
