He generally picked his shots better and had the much quicker hands. The chances of his landing his left before Shavers landed his right are better, I think.

The OP stated:
"...shavers for his right looping overhand and right cross/ being the hardest puncher ever in general."
The hardest puncher
ever? Like to date/all time. Uh, NO.
"Also was Tommy the hardest hitting (total power not p4p) white heavyweight ever?"
Short answer, NO. He's up there, but not #1.
Both were top punchers for their eras. One thing is almost for sure - the fight won't go the distance. Winner is first fighter to land a big shot as neither had a top chin. I'd give the edge to Morrison - something like wins 2 of 3.
