    When did Morrison ever knockout a fighter of floyds skill level? When did morrison ever produce a knockout in 3 rounds or less against TOP opposition?



    Charley Powell, a former NFL player who was a bit like a bob satterfield. Either he knocked you out, or you got to him first. he was 6'4 213lb. Ingemar Johannson was 207lb and floyd flattened him in 6.

    Morrison couldn`t have take Ingo or Liston`s power.

    Tommy wasn`t a southpaw, hence the great left hook.

    Floyd had far better fundamentals than Tommy and would have hurt him with his hook, but the weight difference may have been too much for him, there`s no way he could have taken many hooks from Tommy, this is basically a great cruiser v an average hevyweight with devastating power.

    Floyd Patterson by UD, I see Patterson using his quick hands and combination punching to secure the victory. Floyd would not engage Tommy Morrison at close quarters, but utilizing his left jab, protecting him self with his peek a boo style taught to him by Cus D Amato.

    My opinion of Morrison dropped A LOT after watching the Bentt fight. Absolutely pathetic. I see him getting beat by not only Patterson, but Williams, Machen, etc.
