Watching Ron Lyle's war with Earnie Shavers, which was positively brutal until Shavers gassed at the beginning of the 6th, gives me doubt about Morrison winning a war of attrition. Best bet is to try and outbox him, but that wasn't usually the Duke's MO.
Yes he looked like Patrick Swayze in that Redneck movie ROADHOUSE, but Morrison was about half a foot taller, and about 50 pounds heavier, and hit about 10 times harder:yep
Morrison fought tough hard ass American heavyweights in the 90's, Nielsen fought European creampuffs:smoke Lets face it all Heavyweights lose fights, the only heavyweight ever to carry a Mayweather like unbeaten record was Marciano, only because he knew when to get out....
Larry Holmes, Tim Witherspoon, Mike Hunter, Orlin Norris, and Carols De Leon were European creampuffs? Nielsen and Morrison both feasted on washed up American fighters.
Nielson in fairness did beat a few young unbeaten prospects, but most of them had records that were just as padded as his was if not more so.
