    These guys would probably feel each other out for a round or 2, then all hell would break loose, then Morrison knocks him out..

    I think Morrison had a lust for brawling that Moorer lacked, i remember Atlas screaming at Moorer sometimes to pick up the pace because he lacked the fire in his gut, Morrison never had that problem...

    It would have been a good scrap similar to Moorer ,Cooper, but Morrison in my opinion was a much stronger force than Cooper...

    He defeated 30 heavyweights and made short work of about 15 of them. A lot of them were stiffs, but there were a few decent guys like Cooper and Stewart who aren't too far off from the caliber of fighter that Morrison was.

    Moorer was the better fight, but with two big punchers and two funny chins involved ....its hard to pick a winner

    I saw Tommy very confused and sloppy when he fought that southpaw Vaulin. I thought then they'd better be real careful with the lefties.

    That said, I like the Moorer accuracy here. Southpaw and straight punches. He didn't telegraph and Tommy rose up when he threw those big punches.

    I think Moorer gets off first with his boxing ability and hits Tommy clean and follows up with that sneaky right hook. Then, we might see a knockdown fest.
    if Moorer opens up too much with this guy going in for the kill, he can get dusted.

    Tightrope act for both guys. 5 round fight at the most because once Tommy tires and drops those hands, he won't last long. And MM cannot absorb the punches from a Tommy Morrison for 5 rounds either.

    I'm going w/ MM, in a nail biter. All fingenails bitten down. Probably the over/under on knockdowns would be what , 5?

    Haha! Finger nails bitten down is right! I think it's safe to say that this is one of those fights that the is no way in hell it's lasting 12. Or even 10 for that matter. Both guys hit way too hard and aren't exactly Tex Cobb in the chin department.

    I can just see Moorer leaning against Morrison playing the inside brawling game and eventually getting clipped with a nuclear left hook or that body-uppercut combo Morrison loved to throw. But it's a fight that would have very little dull moments. MAYBE the beginning rounds as a somewhat cautious feel out... Then someone gets brave and starts some serious f**king fireworks. Lol
