    Would Donald stick that jab in his face like he did Jeremy Williams or would Donald freeze like he did against bowe ?

    I believe Donald would have won that fight, he had a very good chin and decent movement /skills.

    Donald didn’t have power and Morrison was decent at closing distance against movers and taking away the jab, it was his chin that let him down and Donald doesn’t have power.
    50/50 fight.

    Donald may not have had great power, but, he was a better boxer, and, had a very solid chin. Donald by UD.

    For comparison, Donald ud’d Purrity whereas Morrison went life and death with him.

    Donald actually did ok against Bowe for only being a 16 fight prospect. it’s been like 30 years since I’ve seen that fight but Bowe didn’t look that great from memory

    Donald could maybe stop him.

    If that fight went 12 rounds I think Ross would have stopped him. At the very least another knockdown to seal it on the cards. Peoples perceptions would of Morrison would likely be quite different if he had another ugly loss like that on his record.

    People would just proclaim that he was past his prime and wipe it off the slate. Look at the lengths people go to in order to excuse his personal behavior.

    He might be the most discussed fringe contender on here.

    Larry Donald was primarily a boxer and not a big puncher but Tommy struggled with a number of guys, and he got his jaw shattered by Joe Hipp. All things considered I think Donald could force an accumulation stoppage against Morrison, he was a pretty accurate guy
