    Why would anyone risk catching aids. Morrison shouldnt be allowed to fight it is to much of a risk.

    Any of these guys willdo..

    Even nearing 40 and with aids the duke would lefthook these guys into retirement.

    I cant say any of the names mentioned possess great defence which would be fatal if they were to take on the duke..

    I seen the dukes fight he had with some fat bum in a cage.And even though he is well well well past his prime he could still work the ring and still had a arsenal of right uppercuts/ massive lefthooks..

    I just hope Tommy gets into atleast decent shape.If he does then none of our heavyweights(besides Meehan) could mess with his stuff..

    Hoppa has been laid out already in his short career.Though he is making great progress he still gets hit alot as shown against a d level fighter at best Mirovic..

    Morrison was once a world class power puncher..

    And as the old saying goes the last thing a fighter loses(especially the heavies) is their punching power.Just cant see any of our guys handling a Tommy Morrison left hook..

    Morrison is totally shot as a fighter.He is lucky to go 6 rounds without falling down through exhaustion.A farce.

    Not Mirovic.

    But the younger guys like Solo and Hoppa could KO him whereas Briggs could win on pts

    P.S Now on ESPN 508

    Got 2 words ............


    LEFT HOOK...


    Doesnt take 6rounds to land power shots on our heavyweights...


    Morrison if in decent shape would still blow all our heavies besides meehan within a few rounds...

    the last footage i seen of Morrison was against some fat bum in a CAGE fight and though he looks old he seemed still fairly conditioned(not great) and could work his way around the ring well..Landed 2 massive lefthooks that broke the poor *******s nose that bad it had to be called. off..


    Im all for Hoppa vs Morrison....And iwill be sitting ringside watching hoppa get his face fist****ed.

    Mate honestly, when was the last time you saw Tommy fight? He looks like **** these days. He's huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf after 2 rounds.

    Apart from all of that, Hoppa's manager has said he's got bigger fish to fry in the US than Tommy, so that one won't be happening.

    Look Hoppa's making alot of progress but lets be honest who could he beat of note at the moment??

    I dont even think he could compete with c level heavies like Danny Williams,Audley Harrison and Matt Skelton etc let alone bigger fish to fry in the U.S..

    Dont forget he was in a massive war with a D-level at best Bob Mirovic..

    P.S... Tommy does look like **** and yes he may have stamina issues etc but i still think he would be better opposition for Hoppa at this stage...

    Aint like hoppa hasnt been iced within a few round by a unfit fighter before..
