Prime Cleveland Williams vs Prime Tommy Morrison

Morrison's chin suggests only one possible outcome - Cleveland Williams would destroy him.

I wouldn't want money down on this one, but I am going to say Williams.

 

I’m going with a 50/50 answer. Both guys could punch and neither were terrific at taking it

 

This elicits my stock answer on these ridiculous Cleveland Williams fantasy fights that pop up with alarming regularity for a guy who accomplished so little: Who did Williams beat that was as good as Morrison? Answer: nobody. Beating an old Foreman and Ruddock puts Morrison well ahead of Williams in the resume department. That being said its one of the few matches such as these featuring Williams that he MIGHT win but I sure wouldnt bet on it.

 

Very boring and robotic poster. Which clubfighter knocked Williams out in a single round smack dab in his prime? Answer: Nobody.

You boast about Morrison's win over Ruddock (arguably a premature stoppage) but what was Ruddock's rating when that fight happened? When was his last significant win?

He'd fought literally twice in the last 2 and a half years, and was quite clearly a shadow of himself after taking three horrific beatings by Tyson twice, and Lewis.

He'd failed to KO a past it trial horse at the end of his career, who Bert Cooper had knocked out 4 years prior.

 

I have to confer with Chok on this match.

 

What does their race have to do with anything? Why even bring it up?

 

I can save you the time.

He will just pick Williams via KO as usual. It's his default choice as he waxes lyrical about his electrifying performance against Sonny Liston.

 

Agree with this. People severely underrate Morrison's boxing skills these days. Williams has a chance, sure, but 2/3 times I reckon Tommy gets him.

 

It's an old boxing tradition to make race a part of things. You have monikers like "chocolate" and "oatmilk" all over the place.

 

"One black. One white"

Why's that relevant to you?

 

Because he's a race-baiter, that's why. He had a history of it in the lounge, which is why he was banned for three years or so. I thought he dropped it upon his return but I guess not.
