    Sanders held WBO, which was recognized as a major title by the 2000s.

    Morrison gassed in a ten rounder at his peak against Purrity and got a draw. It’s likely that he wouldn’t have finished a 12 rounder and ended up like a green Wlad.

    And Morrison was KO'ed in 1 by the unknown Bentt who was Holyfield's sparring partner for a couple of years.

    Morrison was knocked out in one by a guy who wasn't worthy of sparring with Tyson.....the end.

    People **** on Morrison but the guy could fight. He did this all the while partying and taking few training camps as seriously as he should. Morrison was NEVER in a boring fight either. He put it all on the line.

    Morrison fought and ate for lunch a dozen guys like Whyte, Paker and Breazeale. And how can you say with a straight face that Morrison gets no credit for beating 43-year old Foreman 18 months BEFORE he won back the HW championship, and then give credit to AJ for beating 41-year old Wlad 18 months AFTER he lost the title?

    Considering Ruddock was in Tommy's top 5 or 6 opponents he ever fought then I doubt he could with any logic.

    by 2004.

    however thats not my issue, that title he won because Wlad was poor enough to fall to a failed retiree, Sanders was never capable of reaching world title level even in his prime. You actually know this. You know that Sanders had a a mini-title in his prime as his absolute best prime effort - thats what I refer to.
