Tommy Morrison vs Floyd Patterson

Floyd Patterson KO 2, Morrison out cold. no contest.

 

Morrison's chin wasn't bad, methinks. If his is, so is Pacquiao's.

He could be caught, but he could get off the canvas, multiple times, over the course of ten rounds. He showed that against Puritty.

He could box, and win, contests with shattered bones, like he did against Hipp.

Chin wasn't THAT bad. I'd honestly say Floyd's was worse.

 

Was floyd knocked out by Michael Bennt in one round?

 

Could go either way depending on who lands first, but Floyd would have my vote.

 

You don't think he could if he got Floyd on the ropes like he did Morrison?

Guy could whack, obviously.

 

That's another thing.....why is morrison getting the **** knocked out of him by guys like bennt, very average Joe Hipp(I saw seldon-Hipp live), purrity, washed up carl truth.........I mean imagine what floyds handspeed/combination punching will do to morrison.

 

Morrison KO 2 or KO 3.

Patterson was too small, too protected and too over-rated as a REAL heavyweight. He was another guy who drifted to the money (who can blame him) and fought nobodies in the worst era the division ever saw, the Patterson-Liston era. Later, he actually got better, but heavyweight boxing had far surpassed him and his improvement.

Not only would Morrison beat him, but Joe Hipp also.

 

I pick Floyd by KO.

 

Morrison.

Razor Ruddock had more power in his "smash" than anything Patterson ever threw. Sure Tommy had a questionable chin but so did Floyd.

IMO His offensive ability would simply overwhelm Floyd.

Morrison TKO2

 

Obviously Floyd was vastly superior in terms of accomplishments and historical standing. But, head-to-head? Morrison would thump him. 2nd or 3rd rd KO. Maybe even 1st rd. Floyd was the better boxer, but he would get hit eventually, and his chin would fail him.

 

Morrison by early knockout.

Both have weak chins, but Tommy punches much, much harder. That left hook of his was devastating, while Patterson always needed to grind his opponent down and rarely got an early stoppage.



By the way, when was the last time Floyd beat a heavyweight over 210 pounds?

 

Floyd is the better boxer, much faster hands and better head movement he is more likely to land big first and more often. Patterson was only stopped by quality fighters I think Floyd would knock Morrison out I see him landing big and fairly often I think Patterson takes this in four rounds.

 

Why do you always base your outcomes on one or two bad performances of one fighter? I agree that Floyd would beat the Duke, but anytime, you have a south paw who is a fast starter and can bang like Morrison, anthing can happen. We have to look at styles here, not just what Michael Bentt did to Morrison.

 

Morrison has more power, physical strength and a slightly better chin although there is not much in it. Floyd's head movement is better his hands are lightening fast and he hits with accuracy in combinations, it goes without saying that he is the more skillful of the two. It must be said that Tommy while no ATG, is a big guy who can bang very hard. In all honesty i see Floyd getting caught early, he didn't deal with punchers well at all.
