Tommy Morrison didn't have glass jaw

Completely irrelevant. The question isn't "did Tommy Morrison have an iron chin" it's "did Tommy Morrison have a glass jaw". At his best it's obvious he didn't, or one of Foreman's 225 punches would have KO'd him like he did later to top 10 Moorer.

 

Tell that to Michael Bentt. The difference is Moorer came to fight by this time George was so slow he could not catch anyone clean unless they came forward to him

 

As I said before, Tommy had well documented problems with booze, drugs, women and motivation. Lewis and Wlad didn't have iron chins but they weren't glass either. Are you such a simpleton that you don't recognise that there's a wide spectrum between "glass" and "iron"? If you have a glass chin at your best, you don't absorb 225 punches from 250+ lbs Foreman without getting KO'd, much less not dropped. Moorer absorbed a nearly equal number of punches to Morrison and got brutally chinned in the 10th by a 17 months older and inactive, 260 pro punches more worn version of Foreman, so Foreman was still perfectly capable of knocking men with glass chins out when he fought Tommy, especially if they were mounting enough offense to beat him clearly over 12.

 

What about when a shop worn Carl Williams floored him?

 

Sure he did. Lol

 

Morrison didn't take his craft seriously. Tremendous talent wasted on drugs, booze, and puss.

 

Morrison was a frontrunning show pony who left his chin out like wet laundry. He was too tight and possessed too shallow a gas tank to be an elite boxer. Clever matchmaking and the desire for a white heavy got him as far as he went.

 

Moorer was never stopped by a non-puncher like Michael Bentt though. I mean, guy had only 5 stoppage wins against complete bums in 11 fights and still managed to KO prime version of Tommy very quickly and brutally.

And if we use the same logic as you are using here while comparing Morrison and Moorer, then it can work against Morrison as well since Michael Bennt couldn't even drop Herbie Hide once in the 7 rounds while needed only 93 seconds to completely demolish Tommy. And Hide was known for very weak punch resistance

 

I didn't even say that Moorer had a glass chin (though his punch resistance was on the weaker side of the top 10 as well) I used him as an example to show that even a more faded version of Foreman still had sufficient power to KO someone with a genuine glass chin. Imagine if Pavel Sour or a journeyman of that calibre had been in there instead of Tommy. How many of Foreman's jabs, let alone right hands, could he have taken?

If someone gets wiped out in 93 seconds by a non-puncher but shows much better resistance in fights either side of it, you have to suspect that there are external factors at play.

 

You have your opinion and i have mine but i will not stoop to your level by calling you names.Take care

 

Glass jaws are relative at HW. I wouldn't say it was necessarily glass............however it was one of those hard plastic cups that if you throw it on the floor or step on it, it cracks and leaks forever.

 

Perfect! What an accurate assessment, and also hilarious. Perhaps the best comment ever in a glass jaw thread.

 

Mercer beat lewis aswell

 

Mental lapses can be misconstrued as a glass chin. Look at the punch that Bentt landed on Morrison. It was a savage punch. Tommy's head went back hard. He was totally unprepared for it trying to finish Bentt. Weak chin, maybe, but probably not glass.
