I certainly don't think Oleg Maskaev or David Izon were better boxers or punchers than Tommy Morrison. They certainly didn't have better chins. Fres Oquendo bounced Izon up and down like a basketball. Speaking of Fres, he outboxed Tua handily, too, until that quickie stoppage. Morrison outboxed Foreman for 12 rounds. He could outbox Tua. Monte Barrett and Hasim Rahman dropped Tua, Morrison could, too. Morrison could get dropped and get up to win. Tua never won any fight he got dropped in. When the only way I can see a guy winning is by KO, I tend to vote for the other guy. Because the KOs don't always come.
I could see Morrison outboxing Tua for the first four rounds or so. Tua hurting Morrison and dropping him once or twice in the fifth or sixth, then Morrison outboxing Tua for a few more rounds. Then Tua trying to close strong and Morrison catching a desperate Tua coming in and dropping Tua (which happened to Tua a few times). Then Morrison winning the decision by a wide margin.
I'm very surprised with how unanimous tua won the poll, I'd imagine it would always be a competive fight
Are you ******ed? I literally said it was unsubstantiated and doesn't mean he was hungover but it gives us a picture of his activities leading up to the fight. You brought up weight to prove he trained for the Bentt fight like he did any other. Of course you are implying it tells the whole story. I don't care if he was within an ounce of his optimum weight because it doesn't mean anything. Morrison was a roider, he didn't blow up to way above his fighting weight after fights because he was barely 200 lbs naturally! You're position would be plausible if Morrison was natural and cut weight to get into fighting shape like Dempsey, Louis, or Ali. You have minimal understanding of steroids. You aren't educated enough to argue this aspect of the debate. Clearly you did because you said some disrespectful **** about Foster. You don't run **** around here old timer. Nobody's small minded but you. When was the last time you actually changed your opinion on something?
Tua at his best is much faster and far more explosive than 256-lb, 44-yo Foreman. Tua early-to-mid-round tko.
