    So Morrison replaces Norton. Could Morrison last the distance or even cause an upset if he plays his cards right?

    As long as Norton, or Frazier. But eventually that version of Foreman, who was much quicker of feet and fist would track Morrison down, and blast that less than stellar chin and will power of his into the twilight zone...

    I wouldn't bet on it, he had to turn tail against an old Foreman and still barely made it. I think prime Foreman wipes him away in one.

    If he runs, who knows? Maybe it goes the distance, people underestimate how that can change things, if you have a world level boxer who only intends on surviving, it’s very hard to knock them out, if Morrison come to win however, he gets knocked out in a few rounds, wouldn’t be surprising if it was in 1 with how he fights.

    1 round to be honest. Look, i am a huge fan of Morrison. But he was more hittable than Frazier was. Morrison would stand still after punching. Even if the more cautious Morrison showed up, Foreman is fast enough to track him down and trap him against the ropes.

    People also are forgetting that Foreman blocked majority of Frazier's left hooks with ease. Morrison hits harder but he has to land first. Left hooks didn't work well on young Foreman. Notice how Ali mainly stuck to jabbing and throwing hard lead right hands.

    Morrison is too hittable and gets stopped in 1 round.

    Nobody can stand up to 70s FORTEman! I well remember how he used to moonlight as a demolition company when he wasn't destroying guys in the ring. A single FORTEman punch was enough to collapse a medium family house, two punches for double storey buildings. Once, an oil tanker got stuck in a harbour and nobody could move it. Nobody, that is, except FORTEman who lassooed it with a steel hawser and tugged that baby into place from shore. Now, I'm not saying he did it easily, but the facts are that when Superman is moping in his ice palace, FORTEman must serve. Good times, man, good times!
