Tommy Morrison v Frank Bruno

Morrison brutal KO... either way, no way this one would have seen the cards, somebody would have gotten KTFO.

 

For all his shortcomings and whatever criticisms people may have hurled at him over the years, it generally took a world class opponent to make Frank Bruno crumble. Claiming that he just folded when the going got tough is a myth in my mind. It could be argued that James Smith was an unknown prospect at the time, but he had to take a beating for 10 rounds before finally catching Frank with something big, dito Tim Witherspoon. There was never a single bout in any of his 45 pro fights where Frank didn't show up in great shape and ready to fight.. Tommy Morrison would have been a tough proposition, but I don't see him doing to Bruno what Tyson, Lewis, Witherspoon and Smith did. Frank was more skilled, better conditioned and possessed more power than Michael Bentt or Ray Mercer. His chin wasn't quite as sturdy as Ray's but it wasn't weak either, and frankly I don't think Tommy would ever have the chance to unload on him the way that he did Mercer.

 

I think Frank would expose Tommy's flaws before Tommy exposed Frank's.
