I’ll go with Morrison.

Coetzee’s record against fellow 1980s heavyweight champs was 1-3-1 — lost to Tate, Weaver and Page, beat Dokes and drew with Pinklon.

Tommy the Duke was generally tougher, as we saw in his slugfests with Truth Williams, Razor Ruddock and Joe Hipp. And his offense was far more versatile and powerful (as opposed to Coetzee basically hoping to land one big right hand). Just a better-schooled fighter all-around, and Morrison also showed vs Big George that he could fight a disciplined fight.

I figure Tommy on points or maybe late stoppage, as Coetzee seemed easily discouraged and would lose interest when things weren’t going his way. Morrison is a bit underrated and Coetzee imo is overrated.

This is a perfect analysis.

I like Coetzee but he was really slow. Slow with hands and feet.
