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.
Foreman's size was deceptive but he was also 6'3/6'4 depending on who you believe. He actually made Gerry Cooney look frail when they fought each...
Ike and Kirk Johnson boxed out of the same gym and apparently had 50/50 sparring sessions. Kirk was roughly the same size as Ike. I too wonder...
Everyone should go back and watch his fight with Oscar Rivas that he took on short notice for the WBC Bridgerweight title. He only had 13 fights...
Ruiz had a decent amateur career and he has exceptionally fast hands/fast twitch muscle for a heavyweight. He also was outboxing Evander...

Look for Ruddock's fight against Mike Weaver early in his career. He was definitely a boxer type and was constantly on the move. Sometime in his...
This is no gimme for Quarry (and I like Quarry btw). Qawi had exceptional head movement (check out his brutal beatdown of Leon Spinks, who is...
I think you're thinking of Billy Douglas (Buster's dad).
Beterbiev-Bivol 1 would likely resulted in a stoppage win for Beterbiev. His style seems suited for 15 rounders.

This is about the worst possible match-up that I could imagine for Morrison. McCall had an iron chin, decent stamina and was physically strong....
I saw Lewis in person once at my boxing gym in Toronto a few years after he retired. He was sort of advising/training David Price who himself is...
I think you left out the important fact that George stopped Michael Moorer for the title in his next fight after losing to Morrison.
