    Instead of Bowe vs Holyfield 3 and Lewis vs Morrison in the fall of ‘95, we get Bowe vs. Morrison. This fight was discussed before falling apart. Who wins and how?

    This is not the prime versions of these fighters.

    Big, big fan of Tommy, but this doesn't end well. Bowe wins in an exciting brawl, he might even get stunned himself but I dont think it goes long enough for him to get knocked down. Bowe maybe stops him as Tommy comes on, back to the ropes, big uppercut, turns him around and lands a lot of big, sloppy, hard punches. Looks a little like the Mercer finish, but not as efficient

    Bowe ko. Too big, too strong plus better chin.

    I agree Bowe wins, but I wonder how well he would take a big left from Morrison. Bowe seemed unable to block a left hook, and was hurt with that punch from Holyfield, Golota, and surprisingly Coetzer.

    Nobody is a bigger Bowe basher and even I say he wins by murder.

    It could potentially turn in to another version of Morrison V Ruddock.
    Both men down and Hurt but I call Bowe the winner here.
    It would probably do more damage to Bowe though, than the Golota fights.

    Bowe stomps, Morrison takes a solid decade out of his life though.

    Even Dokes nailed him with some left hooks.

    Prime version would be Bowe, which goes without saying, but not prime versions make this interesting & you know what, i'm not entirely sure
    Bowe was dropped heavily by Holyfield in 95' & there were the subsequent beatings against Golota the following year.
    Morrison was dangerous up close, which is where he did his best work, Bowe always got hit & liked to fight up close, this is potentially a dangerous encounter for Bowe, i give him the nod based on his pedigree but it's by no means a certainty.

    Supposedly Morrrison dropped Bowe in sparring when they were both young pros. Bowe didn't like punchers so I see Tommy as a live underdog.

    Even if he repeats the fight with Foreman Morrison, there is no chance here.

    But you've given me a great idea.

    Not a chance in hell. Bowe bolls him over. Maybe three rounds. When did Lewis stop Morrison, what round?

    Bowe genuinely messes him up.

    And Bentt stropped Morrison in the first round? Bowe nails him to the canvas. Levels.

    I don't know exactly; I think in the third. But I know for sure - Morrison lasted longer against Lewis than against Bent.
