    battle of the china chinned bangers. both held a heavyweight title in the ninetees, both managed one defense and both lost their title on one round stoppages.

    both stopped joe hipp.

    They werent china chinned or they would of never reached the level they did..

    I would go for a fit and on his game Morrison anyday over Seldon..

    Dare i say he would deliver his usual Right uppercuts followed by massive left hook to end it in round 5.

    Tommy could miss with a left hook and knock the guy out.

    Both at their best...I could see this going quite like Morrison-Carl Williams.

    Seldon has a tremendous jab and if he keeps it pumping away Tommy will have big problems with it. On the flipside, if Tommy can get inside and counter with his left, Seldon will have many problems.

    I'd go for Morrison myself.

    Morrison by KO. He had the better chin and better punch.

    Despite his massive physique, Seldon was not an early KO artist, and in fact defeated most of his foes with an accumulation of punches. He was also just as prone to getting floored early as Morrison was. If the fight went into the 7th or 8th round, I may be inclined to go with Bruce, but I have a feeling ( after watching both those men for years ), Morrison would stop him before it got to that point.

    Wonderful matchup. Tommy takes this one by mid ko imo. As stated above, Seldon's jab would give Tommy trouble early on, but he could get by this to take the victory.

    morrison is somewhat underated..he had decent movement, good handspeed and a huge left hook..and he would fight anyone..i think he derails the atlantic city express inside 4 rounds...

    Morrison would dominate the way too small Seldon.And knock him out early.

    Whenever Seldon's name comes up all I can think of is him faking getting knocked out by Tyson. Bum.

    Morrison all the way.

    If he had a good chin and better stamina, he really could have gone places. His skills were very good for a banger. Very underrated skills for a big guy.

    I agree...the performance againt Foreman is still undervalued. That was a foreign style for Morrison but he learnt it, stuck at it and got the win.
