How Good Could The Duke Tommy "Machine Gunn" Morrison Have Been?

[Die Antwoord]

Steroids... Morrison was a steroid freak so you have to ask yourself how good would other fighters be if they cheated and used Steroids.

Ill agree with you on that, but in all honesty and you all know I am a huge fan of modern fighters, I think 99% of these guys are taking something. Whats the saying? if you aint cheating you aint trying? i mean there are so many things fighters can take that cant be traced and so many things that can be that are legal that give huge benefits. I mean we got fighters now adays who sleep in hyperbaric chambers which apparently increase recovery times and breathing etc... Thats why I think you cnat compare people from different eras fairly and why the best way to compare boxers is by asking questions like how many wins/losses, how many wins/losses for their opponents, championship accomplishments, beating top fighters of that time etc...

I mean sure Tommy was on roids, but would it shock you to hear old Foreman was taking something, I am pretty confident Holyfield was too, I dont know about Lewis his body never screamed Performance Enhancers, but you cant tell, neither did lance armstrongs.

i totally agree with what you say and with being a ******** man i would also bet like you say that Holyfield, Foreman & Lewis was all taking something as there are very strong cases against each of them but at least Morrison held up his hands and admitted he had taken them

Can you go one day without mentioning lewis,seriously? im surprised you havent got over the fact that bowe ducked him,it was a very long time ago

Tommy Morrison was an entertaining fighter,he was never going too beat a guy of lewis' calibre but his fights with lesser opposition were explosive

He had an exciting style. I think he even bobbed and weaved on occasion, his problem was he was at best a 4 round fighter.

Why not mention Lewis? He was the best fighter of his era, and possibly the best of the big 3 heavyweights of that time...He should be mentioned MORE often...

He was about as good as he ever could be. I imagine it would have been one long downhill slide for Morrison from the Lewis fight onwards had he continued on without the HIV.

Before the HIV diagnosis he had just signed with Don King was all set to fight Tyson next. It would have been an interesting matchup to say the least.

Tommy Morrison wouldve KOd Wladimir Klitschko and possibly Vitali.

He would totally dominate the weak Heavyweight division if he existed today.

Great hand speed, Great power and one of the best left-hooks Ive ever seen. I think the Mercer fight messed up his confidence...couldve been ATG if not for that incident.

Morrison lost to Bentt and Mercer. Neither were near as good as either Klitschko. Morrison would however be a leading contender today.

The referee in the Mercer fight ruined the Duke forever.

Lennox(mcall) and Wladimir(Purritty,Sanders) were spared from recieving unessacary punishment in the ring and were all fully conscious when they were knocked out.

Morrison was out cold because the ****** Ref didnt stop it. If it werent for that fight I think Morrison wouldve been a very differnt.
