    I feel it would up like Lewis v Tommy with Morrison struggling to get inside because of AJ`s reach, do you think I am correct? Would Morrison stand a chance?

    Tommy was shot when he fought Lewis, and Lewis is much better than Joshua in terms of ring generalship.

    Tommy finds his way in near the mid rounds and a left hook is all she wrote

    First 2 rounds Anthony better be running because if Tommy lands that hook its over.

    Tommy`s defense was a lot worse than AJ`s if AJ lands first it`s all over and in `96 Lewis wasn`t as good as AJ, his ring generalship was bad, he didn`t have to do anything against Tommy that AJ couldn`t do, just stick a jab in his face and throw a few combos on top of that every now and then, I feel AJ would have fared better vs Mercer than Lewis did in the mid 90`s, Steward hadn`t completly turned him round as yet.

    AJ`s right glove is usually held high, he blocked six of Wlad`s hooks when he was in trouble against him in their epic.

    I will admit, this contest is who lands clean first.

    I just think Tommy lands clean first, that's all. Tommy has the superior power, accuracy and handspeed. Don't forget, Tommy outboxed old Foreman, who had a long reach and a good jab too

    It's absolutely crazy to think that AJ has superior ring generalship to Lewis though

    AJ would have boxed Foreman`s head off at that age, he`s way faster than Foreman and his punches are more accurate than Morrison`s.

    I never stated even once that AJ wouldn't outbox Foreman. Alot like Tommy did. But AJ does not have more accurate punches than Morrison

    I would make Joshua a strong favorite.

    Depends on how tired Morrison was from the orgy the night before the bout.

    I think Joshua hurts him and hurts him often and stops him in about 8 or 9

    Morrison could throw that left hook with some speed and AJ has never gone up against something like that .
    AJ more complete boxer and after 2 rounds AJ dominates but for at least 2 rounds Tommy is a serious threat to take AJ's head off.

    And I like AJ I think hes great for boxing and hope he does good but im getting tired of the he beat WK - the man was in his Forties and hadnt fought in almost TWO years and almost finished AJ off. He wasnt close to his prime against AJ .Kinda like if Larry Holmes went around bragging he beat up Ali.

    Tommy used to miss a lot.

    No way can you compare Ali in that state to Wlad, Ali had Parkinson`s and couldn`t even touch his nose in the medical before that farcical fight, he only threw about one punch.
