What Did Tommy Morrison Do Better Then Duane Bobick?

Punch.

 

From the little I've seen of Bobick, Morrison seemed a much more explosive puncher for starters. Not 100% sure if there were any obvious advantages Morrison had beyond that. Both had questionable chins, but I have doubts that Bobick would have been able to gut out a win over Hipp the way Morrison did...overcoming a broken jaw & hand to get the KO...so perhaps Morrison was a little tougher? I definitely like Morrison by KO in a fantasy matchup between the two.

 

This …

 

Quicker hands, better combination punching.

Morrison was a beautiful combination puncher. In many ways a waste of talent.

 

Morrison's left hook was truly elite. Probably one of the 10 or 15 best ever at Heavyweight.

 

Who did he knockout with it?

 

Take steroids. Morrison said he took them his entire pro career.

That's what he did better.

If Bobick was juiced to the gills, like Morrison, who knows what happens. But he probably doesn't lose to the likes of George Chaplin and Kallie Knoetze.

And maybe guys like Tate and Norton are a little more laid back and don't go for the kill out of the gate.

In the amateur ranks, Bobick beat Larry Holmes, 1972 Olympic Gold Medalist Teofilo Stevenson, 1972 Olympic Silver Medalist Ion Alexe, Mike Weaver (as an amateur and pro) and the USSR's top heavyweight Yury Nesterov (in a war) ... so he wasn't a punk.

 

faster handspeed, better left hook. could adapt see George Foreman fight.

 

Like Kenzie Morrison or Trey.

 

Far better left hook. Used better movement at times but wasn’t always consistent with it. And yes I think he took a punch better even though neither men are known for their chins

 

Mike Tyson lost twice to Tillman in the amateurs, resulting in him not fighting in the olympics. When they fought in the pros, Tyson knocked Tillman out in one round.

Amateur fights don't seem to translate well to pro fights.
