    He very likely doesn’t win but he might hurt Foreman just because GF was sloppy. I think on a longer timeline into the late 70s and early 80s we’d seen Foreman pick up losses below his level for this fact. Law of averages etc.

    About the best I can give Morrison is a puncher’s chance but that’s it.

    No. If Morrison replaced Norton, he'd have lasted about as long as Ken did.

    Funny thing is, Norton's plan going into the Foreman fight was the same as Morrison's. To box George and keep his distance. (At least that's what Norton said prefight.)

    George, in his mid 20s, could just close the gap a lot faster than he did in his mid 40s.
