    Would prime Tommy Morrison be undisputed HW champion against the current crop?

    In the '90s era he was seen as a level below the top guys like Holyfield, Lennox, Tyson etc.

    But looking back he could throw some smooth combinations to go along with his power. There's no heavyweight around today who can punch like that.

    Do you think he would be able to run the table today against the likes of Wilder, Fury, Joshua, Ortiz and so on?

          I see him beating Whyte, Chisora, Parker , and even Joshua. He would probably break Wilder in half .

          I dont see him beating Fury though.

            I don't believe he would, dude looked stiff as hell then and still does to me. Can I prove he wouldn't? No.

            In my world though top level fighters of any era would be competitive against top level fighters from other eras - that's what common sense tells me and I can't see any way for anyone to objectively demonstrate otherwise short of someone tracking down the fucker who lost the keys to the NSB time machine..

              Never focused.

              A focused Tommy would beat all except maybe Joshua and Fury is a pick em. Outpoints Beyonce Wilder.

              Tommy would be very relevant in today's era though.

                He does not beat wilder / Fury/ AJ beats him . I think Ortiz beats him as well. He beats Parker / chisora / miller .
                Whyte Beats Morrison because he has enough Chin & Stamina to take the heavy and early onslaught. Breazeale gets knocked out in 2 or 3
                The Duke would be a top 5 guy that could lose to any of those fellow pugilist too. With that said who the Heck knows

                  Chin was too weak, his gas tank wasn't the best either.

                    Tommy would be in a coma most likely.
