Tommy Morrison: best wins and career analysis

Just my two cents. I think a lot higher of someone like Coetzee to be honest.

 

I honestly think Tommy would have stopped Wilder and AJ. There, I've said it. He's a better boxer than Wilder and although AJ is a better boxer, Tommy would jump on him and expose AJs mental frailties. Or get knocked out. One or the other....kid would have fought an elephant. And thought he'd win...

 

Pretty much how I see it. Morrison was a lot of things but scared, mentally weak, and timid wasn't one of them. He'd go right at AJ and Wilder's Glass Jaw. He might get knocked out himself but he wouldn't cower in a corner and quit like AJ has or make all the ridiculous excuses that Wilder has. Morrison went out on his shield every single time and had tons of Heart something AJ and Wilder know nothing about.

 

I just watched the Carl The Truth Williams

Awesome fight,plenty of sction,ebb and flow,swings of momentum and exchanges of KDs.

 

Great fight between two top 25 heavyweights.

 

Stewart stood toe to toe with George and beat the bejesus out of him, so badly that people were calling for George to hang up the gloves. Morrison ran like a ***** with his back turned from old George and his concrete feet and eeked out a very debatable decision. It was a gimmick win, one that couldn't be duplicated against any other younger contender who could actually move.

Were Stewart possessed of less melanin he would have been protected like Tommy and never faced the likes of Moorer, Tyson, Maskaev and Vander twice. He would have been coddled and let loose on live opponents to meet the canvas and collect a paycheck.

 

Copium is the drug of the DKSAB.

I don't have the calories to burn on someone who wasn't around back then and wasn't talking to those running the show, and likely wasn't even reading what the rags were saying. Tommy was a product, a great formula, but a failed product. He just wasn't that good.

 

Morrison was in the top 10 at the time.
Williams showed up in shape just too flawed.

 

Williams was terrible by that point. He had no legs.

 

He looked to come back in the fight after the shaky start.
As pointed out pre fight,he was a sucker for the left hook(same punch Tyson and Weaver knocked him out) due to his bad habits-which was Morrison s best punch.
He was past it no doubt but he was in better shape than other fights,otherwise he wouldnt have weathered the early storm imo.

 

Tommy Morrison being the object of all your sporting affection and plaudits is like idolizing someone like Ty Cobb, and having the gall to never shut up about him.

You sometimes have to separate the art from the artist and all that but come on... People want to say he was exciting, he hit hard... go watch a few David Izon fights or something.
