      Who the hell is Tommy?
      Some people just want to rate the 90's guys like they started boxing.
      You can't be on two era's at the same time.

      Let's enjoy what we have now, they are the best so fvvk all these 90's shyyte.

          No. He loses to Joshua, Wilder and Fury. I can actually picture Joshua just hitting him with a ridiculous combo like Ray Mercer did.

            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.

            Lol I hear it all the time. If you have to put that in front of your sentence then most likely the fighter is just not on that level that you think they are. I think he’d beat Whyte and Ortiz if they both passed their drug test

              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..

              Compared to the '90s guys he was stiff and one-handed, yes.

              But in my opinion he's smooth as silk compared to Joshua and Wilder.

                    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?


                    No. Morrison didn't have the chin or stamina for that.

                      His chin held up against George Foreman. I think be could hang with these guys.
