    i´m not Tommy morisson……….thats what holmes said when he beat mercer in 92.

    so let´s pretend morisson didnt fight Foreman, but instead he tangled with holmes.

    morisson could outpoint Foreman....but holmes is a totally different set of probelms.

    sure, a prime holmes would have killed Tommy...…..but what About the 40something year old Version??

    i still pick holmes. he Drops Tommy and takes a clear UD.

    I think the Foreman version of Morrison outboxes Holmes. But maybe Holmes catches the Bentt version of Morrison which in that case he actually stops in 5.

    I don't see how any version of Morrison could outbox any version of Holmes. He'd have to rough Holmes up and land that left hook, if possible, a number of times.

    i think the real morrison was something in between……...something like the truth Williams Version.

    Well, an old version of "The Truth" roughed up Tommy pretty good. So, I am leaning towards Holmes to stay more active than Big George and win a decision.

    Morrison was unpredictable. I could see him stopping Holmes maybe in the midrounds or being stopped midrounds by Holmes.. if he is in shape and takes Holmes seriously. he would win by TKO.
