    Donald doesn’t get much retrospective attention, but he was a good fighter. He didn’t get stopped until fairly late in his career, and many people thought he beat Valuev. Can he keep a charging Morrison off of him?

    Donald most likely would beat Morrison. He had 12 round stamina, a chin, and a jab. Should be good enough.

    I think most are going to take Morrison and his power but I like Donald to take Tommy apart with his jab. Donald was not the most exciting guy to watch but he was very good defensively and great at taken away an opponents strength.

    Thanks, guys. I agree that most would take Morrison, but I think Donald could take this.

    I'd take Donald also. He was a pure boxer, and not much of a risk-taker, which would behoove him here.

    Donald going away. Morrison's feet were quick enough for an old Foreman, but not this guy. And tommy is going to look bad and be off balance trying to hit a moving target.
