    Liston is overrated AF, for one.

    Second, Morrison hits way harder than Ali, who dumped Liston like a sack of spuds. He's at least got a puncher's chance.

    Three: Williams landed his fair share on Liston. I think Tommy might well land too.

    Does that mean he beats Liston? Probably not, but I think there's a reasonable chance that he might.

    Liston hit a lot harder than Michael Bentt who dropped Morrison like a rag doll within minutes (and unlike Liston-Ali, these KDS were real). See? I can do it to.

    I'll go further. I don't think Morrison could've beaten the man in the other corner either.

    Say what you want about Morrison, but as a Puncher he was very dangerous, way sharper than Liston and faster. I'd bet big money Morrisons left hook was heavier than Listons, and sharper

    * shrug * Never did I say he didn't. Maybe you need to re-read my post.

    Feel free to post proof on how Liston threw the Ali fight. A source I cannot yet reveal tells me Morrison threw the Bentt fight ;)

    I'll go further too, then, and say that if you truly believe Tommy Morrison couldn't ever beat Cleveland Williams then YDKSAB :deal:

    Except Liston in full prime was more terrifying to watch. Morrison might have had to actually quit boxing after Liston (I always though he should have after Mercer but whadda I know).
