    Byrd by late ko. To akward for Tommy, getting fast shots in and avoiding his best punches, he'd stop a demoralized Morrison in around 9.

    I actually can see the duke getting a ko here. Byrd wasn't a big puncher and his chin was far from solid.

    Tommy lands a left hook on little Chris's chin and sends his head into orbit.

    OR

    Morrison spent the 4 weeks prior to the fight whoring around, coking up his nose, and partying at strip clubs and gets ko'd round 2.

    I agree about him not being a great puncher, I see him wearing Morrison down as such but not sure about his chin. Morrison could get lucky and ko his man but Byrd s damn slippery

    Byrd would win clear on points, he would keep Morrison Turning, Morrison was best when someone would stand in front of him and not move, he needed to have his feet set unlike someone like Tyson who could catch people on the move

    Pretty much this. Byrd far too slick for the robotic Morrison.

    Morrison was probably one of the least self aware fighters in history

    If in-shape version of Tua couldn't KO Byrd, why Morrison would? I believe Chris, while being a weak puncher, had enough pop to hurt Tommy and he would never hurt granite-chinned Tua with a million punches in a raw. Still Tua wasn't able to find Byrd's chin with his best punches

    Byrd would slap him silly.
    I think the best version of Morrison could last the 12 rounds but he'd lose about 11 rounds.

    I think Byrd vs Morrison would look similar to this one:

    Morrison would destroy Byrd.

    You needed some sort of punching power to deter Morrison.

    Byrd hadn't the power to punch his fist through an inch of sheet rock.

    Thunder was slow. Morrsion was fast.
    Speed was a major issue for Byrd.

    He could flop and giggle against big slow lumps , but that tactic wouldn't work against somebody as fast and powerful as Morrsion.

    Nobody in here would bet their house on Byrd to beat the Morrsion that beat Foreman. . Somebody even picked Byrd by stoppage. .Delusional

    How does a robot throw one of the swiftest , slickest and one of the greatest left hooks in HW history?
    You only pick Byrd cos youre a simp for Klitschko who is the real robot
