    If he traded with him he would probably get knocked out. Tommy could land that lefthook. Lennox Lewis looked like he trained with his righthand tied to the side of his head when he fought him. Could Foster box a disciplined fight and keep Morrison off of him. I would favor Morrison just because of the size factor.

    Morrison stood up to some good shots from Foreman and Ruddock, and defeated both convincingly. Bob's power seemed to desert him almost completely against any world class opponent above 175. I don't think he could hurt Tommy. The reverse clearly isn't true. Bob claimed that, "Ali couldn't bust a grape!" What is Bob saying about his own chin then, with Muhammad having bounced him seven times? He got up from the first knockdown by Frazier with some difficulty, and Joe was not a one punch finisher at the world class level. (Ziggy and Doug Jones were the only other two victims of Smoke's put down for the count of any note.)

    There's nothing to suggest anything other than a quick blowout by Tommy. Bob didn't have the mobility and versatility of Michael Spinks. He got out of round one with Frazier because Joe was sleeping a bit at the outset. After Smoke's corner slapped him awake and swore at him between rounds (at least according to Foster), Frazier swatted him down with the first shot that connected. If Joe had roared immediately out of the gate like he did with Ziggy, Bob might've been wiped out well within a minute.
     
  5. Let me see Tommy Morrison was a heavyweight and Bob Foster was a light heavyweight. Why do you clowns keep trying to compare heavyweights to 180 pound fighters?

    Yet again Bob would come up short. As limited as Morrison was,he would have been too powerful for Foster.
