Is the next Tommy Morrison training MMA right now?

A great white american heavyweight since who? Jack Sharkey maybe?

Rocky was great. He could easily have fought at light heavyweight but he had the power, chin and high punch volume to rule the heavyweights and never lost a fight. All the excellent fighters who fought him said he was great.

Morrison was a white boy who grew up in the south and took up boxing. Does that type of kid exist anymore? Are they all getting into wrestling or MMA more likely these days.

Is that why there hasn't been a great white american heavyweight since?

Caleb Plant!


If you're talking about Heavyweight then I don't know. It is not one in MMA either, UFC Heavyweight Division sucks

are you saying Morrison was great? If so I doubt many would agree. He was an ok heavyweight who won some good fights and lost some but hardly a great one.

Baby joe Mesi was / is unbeaten. Think he retired due to brain injury? After that Butterbean lol

Has there been a better white american HW since?

Its not like boxing was full of white American HWs before the UFC came around, it hadnt been for like half a century already by that point. Wrestling was the American white guy combat sport. Tommy wasnt anything special either, he was a big puncher with decent marketing but he was kind of a glass cannon and his skillset outside of his power wasnt elite.

Exactly, Morrison would run outta steam too, real quick when in against the better heavyweights. It didn't matter against Foreman because he was so old! His best win was probably against Ruddock and he probably would of got beat if the ref didn't do such a ****ty stoppage. The kid had skill and power but he wasn't really world class.

Yeah bad mistake by me I guess but italians are not white boys. I will admit I kinda messed up there, you can count Marciano.
Actually great watching his old fights v Moore and Walcott.

That left hook Morrison hit him with almost decapitated him.

He probably could have in this alphabet belt era
