    Ok i think if Tommy fought a disciplined fight(like against Foreman) he could probably out box Chris. But if he brawls(which he probably would) I think Chris Knocks him out in a wild brawl probably before 5. Remember Morrisons war with Joe Hipp? But I think Chris is a bigger and slightly better version of Hipp also hits harder.
    What do you guys think about this fight and how it would turn out:huh

    I could see Morrison putting Arreola down but not keeping him down, i think Arreola would ko Morrison if Morrison gets to anxious and wild.

    ...Jameel McCline hurt him. A fat, old, Jameel McCline. Far lesser men than Morrison have put him down. But if Bent can knock Morrison out, Arreola certainly can. Morrison was always in more trouble than he should have been it seems. Like you said, he could out-box him but would probably get suckered into brawling because of his ego. It could go either way, I think.

    Arreola has been put down by guys nowhere near Vitali's caliber. But Vitali doesn't homerun hit anymore. He likes to grind you into retirement, he didn't used to be that way. I wouldn't go off of that fight.

    Well even an out of shape Mccline can hit hard. To my recollection only Travis Walker put him down, and although Walker has a glass jaw he can punch and that was a good one he tagged Chris with.
    I think Arreola has a good chin considering the shots he took from Vitali without going down.

    If Travis Walker can put him down, Morrison definately can. Tommy's chin wasn't terrible, just not good. His defence was the worst thing I have ever seen claimed to have been such. Tommy can box very well, but that is like saying Arreola doesn't have to hit McDonalds drive through, just not gonna happen.

    In the end it would definately be an all out war and one of the best fights ever, while it lasted. I think Tommy Mo drops Arreola a few times in the first two rounds, then gets way too cocky which leads to getting his block knocked off.

    Arreola KO3 Morrison

    After the fight Arreola hits the drive through and Morrison recovers by hittin a few prostitutes. It's all good, both men are happy.

    Asfor the vitali couldn't drop him post, some people take straight punches better than others but the rounder ones like hooks, they can't take as well. Chris is the latter.

    Then again, nobody could ever predict a Morrison fight, so it would more likely be the opposite of what we think.

    I didn't imply Arreola had a bad chin but his defense is somewhere in lala land. Morrison hits like a truck and Arreola has no defense. I don't care how good his chin is, it's not in the McCall range and he gets hurt about every time I see him fight. McCline's a good hitter but he fought a terrible McCline and found a way to get clocked in the button very soon into the fight. A sharp Morrison is far worse than McCline and Morrison is a finisher whereas McCline just hurts you and then goes and diddles himself right afterward. I don't know if Walker or McCline have anything in their arsenal close to a Morrison left hook and I don't believe Vitali ever actually tries to hit with that kind of force any more.

    YEY i agree that Arreolas defense needs works, I actually get worried for him sometimes cause you can see the Openings big time when he throws. I think Morrison could drop him but i think Arreola would end up being able to shake it off. IF Morrison scored a knockdown that would be his downfall cause he would end up getting caught, I think Arreola is the type of fighter who is dangerous when he is hurt.

    I'm certain of that. Not that I'm comparing the two in any other regard but it reminds me a little bit of Joe Louis. As soon as you flip the switch to concern them, they're not getting a bike, they're going to make it as short a night as humanly possible.

    Arreola -Morrison could play out similar to Mercer- Morrison. A fast paced punchout with Morrison getting the better of it early, but gassing out , and Arreola rallying to KO Tommy. Arreola's chin would succeed , where Tommy's would fail.
