    In 1996 Tyson was still just about good enough to have beaten Morrison. The Duke may have hurt him once or twice,but not enough to win him the bout.

    Nobody could knock out Tyson besides the people who did it though. Tyson could take a punch because it took some rounds for the light punching Douglas to knock him out and it took Holyfield some rounds to knock him out and Holyfield isn't a big puncher to began with and couldn't knock out a 42 year old Foreman.

    Tyson's chin was as good as George Chuvalo's or people like that. So he could be starched with one punch. He isn't god. And if Morrison landed flush he would be on his back.

    but he stopped tyson when evander was past his prime, old foreman had one of the best chins in the history of boxing, better than tyson for sure.

    This is heavyweight boxing, given the right punch and circumstances, anyone can be knocked out. Even Tyson.

    Heavy_Hands I know his chin isn't as good as Chuvalo I was being sarcastic. People act like Tyson couldn't get knocked out when they did. We both know Tyson's chin isn't as good as Foreman bu I once read since Foreman was down to Lyle that means Tyson's chin was better. I would rather go down to a puncher like Lyle and a off night and get up and win. Than be battered by a not known for being a puncher like Douglas and knocked out.

    Who is a harder puncher. Bruno or Morrison? Hard to say but Bruno hurt Tyson backing up so why wouldn't Morrison knock him out with his best left hook?

    because Mike Tysons chin is better than Tommy Morrisons left hook

    Plus Bruno was down earlier in the round, if that had been Morrison, he most likely would have been knocked out. Bruno was a lot more durable than Morrison.

    Bruno also has a higher Ko % than Morrison
