    If both had met before their kos to common opponent, Ray Mercer?
    Does Morrison drill his Italian opponent
    Or is Damiani a step above the Duke?
    12 rounds.

    I think Damiani outboxes him in a negative type fight. Especially if Morrison is the guy being the road warrior.

    Damiani would take the duke apart unless Morrison could land a bit shot early he is in big trouble .Francesco was a good boxer with respectable power and good stamina .He didn't look much but was a good fighter.I expect him to box cautiously early and gradually take over stopping an exhausted Morrison late .

    Probably not the popular answer but i can see this scenario happening to.
    Damiani playing it safe to start with against Tommy. Morrison, at this stage, was in to blasting out the opposition and he'd try it again.
    Damiani takes him past the 6th and Tommy s blowing hard.
    Morrison gets winded and kod in around 9.

    Tommy Morrison is now without a doubt the most stupidly underrated boxer on this forum

    No, not imo, he had some good quality s about him. One of the best of the 90s contenders. But styles make fights in a lot of cases and I believe it's the case here. Damiani,good boxing skill set, decent chin, if he doesn't get caught early by Tommy, then the fights his to win.
