Prime Tommy Morrison vs Prime Michael Moorer

Tommy beat George because he ran like a mug. Any heavyweight who still had legs would have caught up to him and pounded him out. Tommy was literally running around the ring, back turned and gasping for life. Had Moorer followed the same plan and not tried to take George out he would have won by a country mile. As it was, Tommy barely won. I just rewatched that fight a few weeks ago and was surprised how close it truly was.

I'll take Moorer's win over Vander (whatever his health excuse was) over Tommy squeaking by Foreman in unilaterally declared track meet.

 

I'll take a still relevant Cooper, Stewart and Botha over a retired Razor Ruddock.

 

I'l take the shattering's of Williams , Tillis , Thomas and Roddock.

 

I can't even begin to express whats wrong this this postatsch

He's only a mug because he didn't stand right in front of Foreman like Moorer done and get sparked out for your viewing pleasure.

How is using lateral movement, speed and angles a mugs strategy ??

Foreman was a master at walking you down and getting you where he wanted with that thudding tree trunk of a jab.
Morrison set his feet and walloped him his hooks that would have knocked out a horse which said - you ain't walking me down
Tommy had worked hard in training to beat Foreman. He said movement was the key to success and he did what only a small number of greats had done before him.

Moorer had more limited movement than Big George. The uppercut -hook combination would destroy him. This guy went down off the breeze of Holyfields punches.

 

Go watch Foreman and Morrison again. It's embarrassing watching Tommy run from an old man. It's not lateral movement at all. It's running to the other side of the ring.

 

Sticking and moving and boxing off the back foot isn't running to the other side of the ring.

Foreman couldn't take the Morrison left hook which gave Duke the space to out box him.

 

He was only 32 years old .. he'd go on to be undefeated in eleven fights after ..

 

Just a dumb post .. he used skill and brains to out punch Foreman without engaging him or he would have ended up like Michael did but he didn't ..

 

So you're saying Foreman was robbed ?

 

He exclusively fought tomato cans after.

 

michael moorer would knock him out only because moorers a southpaw and tommy looked horrid against southpaws yuri vaulin/joe hipp for example

 

ruddock was far from old ??? yes razor wass only 31 yrs of age but those 19 rds against tyson finished him and only one fight from 92 to 95(when he met morrison)......finished ruddock....tyson and ring inactivity ruined ruddock for tommy morrison and ruddock at 243 3/4 lbs against morrison loooked fat as fuk:deal

 

ron lipton who stopped the fight way too soon is why tommy won........next rd razor was gonna knock him out :deal

 

totally agreed seamus .............ruddock was shot to peices in 95

 

carl williams was 34 when he fought morrison and finished ................tillis was shot to peaces and oh my god pinklon thomas was yrs and i mean yrs past his best ....dinovelvelt ...you have to stop boxrecking bro ....
