    It would be a very fun fight, especially if Holy came into it with the same mentality he did against Cooper.

    But yes, Holyfield by stoppage seems the outcome.

    The voting is going 33-1 Holyfield. That could be a good approximation of what the betting odds would be. And, even at those odds, if I had to bet, I'd still bet on Holy in this one.

    The poll is so close, that I think I will need to analyse this one a little more before making my final verdict!!!

    Holyfield by mid round stoppage, he was too complete a fighter for Morrison to cause an upset and i think he halts him inside 7 rounds, similar to Moorer 2.

    I think Holyfield can pull of a first round ko against morrison. Can you imagine morrison surviving the onslaught Holyfield gave Cooper? I can’t

    PRIME FOR PRIME HOLYFIELD ALL THE WAY, HE WAS ONE OF THE GREATS. BEATS ANY VERSION OF THE DUKE, TOMMY HAD ARSENAL OF COURSE, JUST NOT QUITE UP TO THE TOP ELITE, LOSING TO BENN DID NOT HELP MATTERS

    MORRISON 48-3-1 RECORD (42 KNOCKOUTS, 2 BOXING TITLES) i'D TAKE IT.

    Evander, early too.

    I'd bet my last coin on it that we'd be in for a treat watching these two throwing combos!

    I think he would have done the same vs a 1974 Foreman.

    Holyfield had to much timing for Tommy and to much grit. He takes what Tommy has to give and fires back in between the rhythm and Takes Morrison out anywhere from 3-5 rounds imo. However Tommy would make it look fun while it lasted a beautiful offensive fighter.

    I got holyfield by knock out somewhere around round 5.

    I think this is a very very bad match up for Morrison also Evander destroyed Mercer and we all saw how Mercer savagely knocked up a roided up prime Morrison.

    Morrison is far closer to Butterbean than he is Holy.

    This is an @ss whuppin' extraordinaire.

    That is really not accurate.
    Morrison did not take nearly all that Foreman had to offer. He could never have accomplished this.

    Because he constantly evaded Foreman's attack.
    He could not have taken nearly all Foremen had to offer-but he could keep coming in, pot-shotting & staying away to win a decision. Because this version of Foreman was too slow to catch up with him.
