Oleksandr Usyk vs Tommy Morrison.

He wasn't a top ten contender and the stoppage was poor anyway.

 

totally agree.

 

But he didn't really demonstrate his power against high quality big men. Guys Gassiev has ko'd like Dorticos would be heavyweights by the standards of Morrisons day.

Also some of them probably are well over 210 come fight time.

 

Who's more overrated - Tua or Morrison? I'd give Tua edge, but it's close.

 

I don't know but both them would destroy Sharkey

 

Nice try, although incorrect

 

Gassiev who? You are still talking about a bunch of relatively unknown Russian.And then who has Usyk beaten at heavyweight? Most cruisers champs have failed at heavyweight. with Usyk, there is little to go with now.It is time he steps it up and beats a serious heavyweight contender, then we can have this sort of discussions.Usyk has not fought somebody serious in ages, man

 

As I've pointed out, a number of guys he has beaten would be heavyweights by the standards of Morrisons era given the cruiserweight limit in those days was 190 pounds.

What does failure at heavyweight even mean in your book? Juan Carlos Gomez, David Haye, Tomasz Adamek were all former cruiserweights who all broke into the top 10 recently. In fact some of them accomplished more at the weight than Morrison.
