    As it says, If Tommy Morrison had possesed a Tua like chin, can we expect him to maybe be a little more successful??
    Or in the long run, no difference?

    Not far. He lacked focus and had a shallow gas tank.

    I think he'd wreck some people. That said I think his "chin" problems were more "conditioning" problems. When you're blown your chin suddenly sucks.

    Edit: forgot about Bentt. Maybe he had both problems :lol:

    He would have survived michael bentt's early onslaught and stopped him and would have retained his title. He was actually supposed to fight the WBC champion Lennox Lewis in an unification battle after the Bentt fight....Around that time i would have favored Lewis, but if Morrison had tua's chin, this (and the fact that Lewis did not have steward in his corner at that time) would have convinced me that Tommy would have a big chance of pulling an upset.
    He would still have a stamina problem though. A morrison with tua's chin and frazier's gas tank would be a big threat to any fighter in the 1990's

    If you had Morrison with Tua's chin and Fraziers tank we'd be talking about him and not Tyson ...
