    I think Dubois could knock out Morrison who was known to fail against punchers...

    No chance for Morrison.

    Good fight.

    I could see Dubois getting hurt and knocked down but eventually getting the knockout over a gassed Tommy Morrison in the mid rounds.

    Dubois has exibited a glassy chin himself on occasion

    Morrison would get murdered.

    Dubois was nearly stopped in the first round by Lerena, was getting outboxed by Hrgovic until he gassed, and has been kayoed twice by jabs. I don't think Morrison has "no chance."

    I think it would have been a slugfest with several knockdowns, both powerful fighters but pierceable in defense. I think the Englishman's better chin could have been decisive and I say Dubois by tko before the 10th round.

    Have a look at the Lerana fight and consider whether or not Tommy would have finished the job. I certainly think he does

    What does that make the Bentt fight?

    This ends in a KO/TKO no doubt about it. I'd favour Dubois about 60/40.

    Bentt was miles better than Lerana

    That's a cop out and false.

    If you think that fair enough but for me it is 100% correct

    Larena has had a better career than Bentt other than one notable exception.

    Morrison gets stopped inside 5 but he may have a moment or two early on.
