    This depends entirely whether Beterbiev hits hard enough to crack Tommy's chin. Morrison hit bloody hard himself and has a very significant size advantage over Beterbiev. Gun to my head I'll pick Tommy.

    Morrison is unironically becoming underrated if people are matching him with career light heavyweights who have been knocked down multiple times. Morrison KOs him brutally. Imagine Tommy hitting Artur with the same left hook Johnson did?

    Yes this should end early. I don't think Beterbiev can land on Morrison the way that Bennet did. If he can, sure, even a LHW like that could do damage. BUT Morrison has faster hands, is much bigger, and hits harder than Beterbiev.

    Morrison KO 2. One left hook that properly lands should end it.

    Morrison destroys Beterbiev realistically

    Some of these light heavies enter the ring at 200 pounds plus as big as Joe Louis. If Louis is big enough to beat Morrison why would size be an issue

    Beterbiev likely rehydrates to 190 or so which is close to what Louis weighed

    Morrison wouldn’t have a chance in hell and anyone who’s seen Beterbiev fight in person knows it. This is no contest.

    Morrison should win this because he is bigger and hits hard...

    It’s not just weight.

    It’s how they’d have matched up stylistically.

    The more you post, the more I think that you troll for attention.

    He wouldn’t. Beterbiev would use his great footwork to drop the hammer on Morrison’s temple. Morrison would also gas if he got to the middle rounds. It’s an elite pro vs. a guy who was winging it.

    Don’t be an idiot.

    We’re not talking P4P.

    Who ranks higher.

    We’re talking about a H2H fight.

    Artur isn’t invincible.

    We’ve seen him dropped against B level LHW’s.

    Tommy was fast and aggressive.

    He had huge power at HW.

    To say that he’d have had a zero chance of winning, is just ignorant and nonsensical.

    I just hope you’re also picking Tommy over Marciano for consistency’s sake.
