    Most likely does not make it even a full round.

    I think he could eek out a few rounds, but he'd be in rough shape.

    44 year old Holmes would have shutout any version of Morrison

    90s foreman is one of the most overrated fighters out there

    Morrison couldn’t even beat Ray Mercer, whom Larry Holmes took to school. Nice try

    Always mindful of the fact that Morrison was dangerous with his power, and quick handed too, young George Foreman would use his great advantages in strength, power and that ability to cut off the ring and have Tommy out of there by either the 2nd or 3rd round.

    Holmes would have crushed foreman. Foreman had no defense. No stamina. He couldn’t handle slick boxers with good chins. Holmes would have stuffed the jab in his face and taken him to later rounds where he would have knocked foreman out.

    Holmes doesn’t need to knock Morrison out.
    He easily outboxed him for 12 rounds

    Morrison would be a dangerous opponent for a prime Foreman.....if not for his chin. The fight lasts as long as it takes Foreman to connect with his big shots and then it's a replay of Mercer/Morrison. In Fact, it's safe to say that up until the end, Morrison would probably be ahead on the cards.

    Foreman Kos Tommy after a good opening round for Tommy. Foreman while not as big - and “anchored” as the later incarnation had more speed, cut the ring off quicker and quite simply would be on Morrison who offensively could dish but was easy to hit and certainly would not be able to hang with George in exchanges.
    I see one or two good exchanges and then Tommy starts to fold in the exchanges and crumples pretty early. Round 3

    Maybe 3 rd's at the most, prime Foreman would be too physical for Morrison. Foreman would push Morrison off balance, keep Morrison from setting his feet,nullifying his dangerous left hook( same tactic he used with Frazier )punish him with that jab, and a power shot would eventually land clean , be it a left hook or left uppercut, hooking right hand,or uppercut would stun Morrison, and the fight would be practically over at that moment . Foreman would continue attacking like a shark with blood in the water landing a brutal combination leaving Morrison unconscious on the floor for the entire 10 ct.
