    Wilder gets jettisoned by Morrison if he implements the Foreman performance. As in looming defensively and picking his moments to explode in with powerful speedy left hooks. I could see Morrison of that night beating a lot of guys.

    Why because he outboxed a 44 year old man who also got outboxed easily by Axel Schulz?

    "The Foreman performance" was based upon a 24 year old's ability to turn his back and outrun an obese 44 year old.

    Tommy was never able to implement this strategy before or after. You know why? Because it doesn't work against a fit prime fighter. Do really envision the lithe, athletic Wilder not being able to catch a running, huffing and puffin Morrison? Do you really envision Tommy taking Wilder's punches or reacting well to a windmill onslaught?

    For some reason, this forum loves to hold a 1990s foreman to a Greek god like standing

    Well he could have fought Foreman like Ruddock and either scored a TKO or lost. So he took the easy path to victory.

    Morrison caught Mercer near his best. Remember the guy had very little amateur experience. The " Foreman plan " vs Mercer might have worked.

    Wilder can't out box Szpilka, or Washington, non top ten types. His power bails him out.

    1 It's a slugfest that goes either way
    2 No
    3 He's right around 15 in a good division
    4 Leon Spinks Primo carneiro and A toss up with Rahman and Moorer.
    5 He was a fun heavyweight but far for an ATG.

    At this point, I imagine he has first hand knowledge of how underrated hell is.
