    Bruno would probably exhaust Morrison by smothering and hitting behind the head, winning a mid to late TKO. However I can see Bruno crumbling to power punches like he did with Tyson, Lewis, Witherspoon, and Smith. This might look like Morrison - Williams. 50/50 fight for me.

    Beatdown from Frank here. Much superior fighter to Morrison, especially in that Lewis bout.

    Bruno should win, he may look impressive doing so too.

    No, only decent thing he did in his fight vs Lewis was out-jab him, Bruno had an 84 inch reach so had a better jab than Morrison but Tommy`s win over Ruddock where he got off the floor vs a huge puncher outdoes Bruno`s best win vs McCall p[lus Tommy had a superior left hook just like the hook Lewis destroyed Bruno with.

    Both men have a chance but I went with Bruno. It was close to this time that Frank was beating McCall and giving Lewis fits while Morrison got sparked by Bentt and went life and death with old Carl Williams

    You realize that ruddock had only seen one fight in about 3 years and was at a career high weight right ? I mean McCall wasn’t exactly at his best against Bruno but then again Frank didn’t have to rise off the canvas to beat him either

    Bruno didn`t look very good vs Williams either.

    Ruddock was a more dangerous puncher than McCall.

    He hurt Lewis in addition to out-jabbing him, and I think I can say cleanly that Lewis was more durable than Morrison was. Tommy would be eating that jab round after round before getting KO'ed, and I really don't think his left hook gives him a chance here.

    Remember that he got outboxed by guys like Yuri Vaulin and Joe Hipp, he was losing and got his ass dropped multiple times against the same Williams who lost to Bruno. I don't hold the Ruddock win too high for Morrison considering it was kind of a bogus stoppage, and Donovan would've likely won without it being ended there.

    Nah. Ruddock didn't even shake up Lewis whereas McCall laid him straight out.

    I doubt McCall hit harder than Ruddock, the Dokes KO was violent, Ruddock just didn't land anything on Lewis, although I'm not saying Morrison wins

    OMG! Ruddock was a far harder puncher than McCall. McCall and Bruno only wobbled Lewis once a little bit. How many of Ruddock`s fights have you watched?
