    I do not think Morrison does as well as Ruddock.
    He is not a boxer who might take Tyson the distance.
    He is a slugger who will be broken down.
    At best he succembs in the middle rounds

    It's a bit like The Beatles vs The Monkees in a battle of the bands.

    Tyson.

    Two rounds.

    I think the question is how long Morrison lasts.

    Two rds is giving MORRISON way to much chin. Tommyboy takes the last train to clarkesville inside of 1 minute. After that, his brain is all helter skelter.

    I see what you did there...

    And fully agree with the assessment.

    Tyson KO 3-4. Morrison might have hit harder but is inferior in every other sense across the board.

    Tyson. If Morrisson decides to box like he did against Foreman he might last 3-4 rounds, but Mike had much faster feet, reflexes and hands than old George. Eventually he catches Tommy, and Tommy doesn't have the chin and defense to last when he does.

    Tyson would be all wrong for Tommy. Prime Mike had a great chin, great defense and Lightning fast hands. If Tommy does land heavy Tyson will eat the punches and will then land a fast counter and seriously hurt Morrison.

    Tyson KO2

    I would like to have seen Tyson vs the Mercer that stopped Morrison. I bet he struggles because that guy is better than Ruddock in most departments. Morrison would be competitive vs any MT version after 1988, the 86-88 version wins by early or mid KO.

    Tyson by first round ko

    Morrison's chin would not hold up at all.
