Tommy Morrison

[Verstyle]

Tommy Morrison hit alot harder than Mike Tyson, thats what some of the people that fought both say.

what liar's i heard ruddock say that. but ruddock got knocked down and hurt alot in both tyson fights. so i dont get it

[Verstyle]

...Tommy was a badass and if he had not partied til all hours of the night there is no telling how well he would have done. He had stamina issues for sure. He was beating Ray Mercer's ass in their fight and ran out of gas and got caught. Athleticaly and talent wise Mercer couldn't hold his jock. Pinklon Thomas says that Tommy easily punched harder than Tyson.

they fought in 91' tyson fought him i think in 87' major difference, as u get older your going to go down alot easier

This is from the first round of his fight with Carl "The Truth" Williams. Pretty good fight. Morrison later goes down twice in the same round (with the 3 knockdown rule in effect), survives and stops Williams on his feet later on.

What do you guys think of him as a fighter? was he any good in his prime? I have only seen 1 of his fight thats about it...

he was more than hype. he had a devastating left hook. he beat george foreman, and had some good gutty wins. he won the wbo belt also. the only time he was outboxed and beaten down was against lennox lewis when he was stopped on cuts. the other two times he got caught with huge shots in a fight against mercer he was winning, and then was stopped by michael bennett after he had bennett almost out. record was 46-3 with 40knockouts

Great left hook sure, but Rocky Balboa whooped that ass...

Pinklon is also punch drunk and cannot speak in complete sentences. The Duke was not in Mercer's league, in terms of skill. Tommy was what he was, a hard punching white HW with a lethal left hook.

Go figure, your all over his nuts...

Now,now, young man, you should not downgrade Tommy just because he was white! Have you not learned anything from your bible? Remember what the bible tells us......all men are equal(no matter what the colour of there skin is).
Later brother brologs.

he did have heart n fire HEART N FIRE!! and he was a paper champion to rockys belt, and subsiquently lost it in a street fight with balboa, but rocky was fighting for more than the title, tommy had taken his sons room!! but all kidding aside he was a ho-hum fighter who DIDNT live up to his hype, and i heard he wanted to fight again, u know how crazy it would b? if he even had a little scratch on his face his opponent would b all like stop the fight i dont want aids!! lol

Nice to see a period where heavyweights are in shape and move. I don't mind you getting gassed if you show some effort. Too much plod n' plug currently.

Tommy's stamina problems were very much due to the fact that he was always very tense in there.
After hitting Ray Mercer with shots that would have cold****ed just about any other fighter.....Tommy started falling apart when Mercer began giving it back to him.

Tommy was a massive, massive puncher. I would
say that punch for punch, he hit harder than Mike Tyson....but was obviously no where in Tyson's league as a fighter.

Morrison did indeed live up to his potential.....which was a KO puncher with many ups & downs.
