    Wlad vs Morrison. Who you see winning this fight? Wlad is favorite, i'd say Morrison is 5/1 underdog in this one. If he can land one boom to Wlad's glass jaw, then there's chance for the upset. Wlads clinching would tire Morrison though, so there need to be american referee.

    Fight wouldn't last longer than 3 rounds.

    They both have soft chins imo but I think Wlad would use his height and size to KO Morrison inside of 4 rounds.

    Morrison was so frustrating. He barely trained, didn't care about learning the nuances of defense, and just really didn't live up to his boundless potential.

    Just looking at the tributes on YouTube and seeing the crushing left hooks and overhand rights is a thing of beauty.

    Klitschko is noticeably better in big fights in case that escaped your notice. Tommy was a huge puncher with either hand and a pretty good fighter but fell short of being a great fighter. If he had a Ray Mercer type chin he would have been great but obviously he did not have that type of chin.

    Morrison only has a punchers chance in this one. Wlad wins 8-9 times out of 10 imo

    Morris has a punchers chance and he is far more athletic than anyone Wlad has fought since Sanders and Byrd, so he would be dangerous.

    But he had an even worse chin than Wlad. Wlad would out box him, clinch when he comes in close and reset. I don't think he'd KO Morrison early, he'd be ultra cautious when faced with such a dangerous puncher and doesn't have the uppercut to hurt him on the way in like Lewis did. So he wear him down then KO him when Morrison was ready to go.

    Wlad takes this one. Tommy has a punchers chance though.

    Would likely go just like the Lennox and Morrison fight.

    Wlad by systematical schooling and beatdown. Sure stoppage.

    A flush prime Morrison left hook puts Klitschko in a coma.

    HOWEVER


    Straight > looping.

    Klitschko specializes in the 1-2 and has 81" at his disposal.

    Morrison's bread and butter is that hook and he's disadvantaged by 5".

    He's never landing that hook.

    All I know is after wlad wins every round and KO's Tommy, fans would say Morrison was a bum and he would be forgotten.
