    Morrison was a modern sized heavyweight. Prime Muhammad Ali wouldn't be a modern day heavyweight, he'd have been a modern day cruiserweight. He may have been able to boil down to a big light heavyweight with modern day sports science. Could Ali even take Morrison's power? Morrison by devastating KO.

    easy stoppage for Ali in the vein of the Lyle fight, except quicker than the Lyle fight, but with more hard punches from Morrison than Lyle gave Ali in that fight.

    Ali wins the battle but loses the war. He'd probably catch AIDS from Tommy's blood during the beating he'd put on him.

    At 212 lbs my friend, cruiserweight is 190 lbs, Ali in the first Liston fight was 212 lbs, Liston was 218 lbs.

    Actually mate, modern day cruiserweight is 200lbs. And fighters tend to weight drain themselves from 215lbs to get down to it.

    Yeah, we have smaller heavyweight steroid users hiding from the bigger heavyweight steroid users. :lol:

    The cruiserweights are actually really fun to watch at the minute, if you didn't know. If you have time I'd look into some fights from The Russian Hammer, Dmitry Kudryashov. Don't worry, they're all over in six rounds or less. He's the epitome of a kill-or-be-killed fighter.

    It's not a bad joke because he'd beat Morrison up and obviously bloody his face and the blood would go in Ali's mouth at some stage causing Ali to get A.I.D.S.

    Yeah but with modern methods of making weight, some cruisers come into the ring at 210ish pounds. Just like Marciano would be a super middle, Ali would be a cruiserweight.

    Not just modern methods of making weight but having the weigh-in 36/48 hours before the fight, which has changed everything. Today's welterweights are really middleweights by the time they set foot in the ring on fight night.

    I actually think this would be pretty competitive early on. Ali’s weakness was the left hook so I can see someone with a very quick and powerful one like Tommy’s catching Ali and maybe even dropping him once or twice. Ali would likely get up and fight smart surviving the next couple rounds against an aggressive Morrison. Ali makes it past round 6 and tkos a gassed Morrison with a speed blitz

    Ali puts him away in 6 the way Lewis did, except more impressively.
