    With the low quality of parasite Tommy hung out with and married, I am sure he was more experienced with the CLEVELAND STEAMER.

    This would be a sensational fight whilst it lasted. Pretty tough to pick. I lean more toward Tommy because beating on old George Foreman tops anything on Williams record. To be fair, it could go either way.

    Fighters weren't roided up in the Younger Foreman's days.

    Probably like that speed advantage of Tommy's early.

    But it could turn into a Bentt fight where Morrison gets caught stepping on the gas pedal. 3 round fight, at the longest, with say 4 knockdowns. A brawl we fans love. Shaky vote for Morrison, mainly due to how that lefthook of his sizzled early.

    If Cleveland attacks like he did Liston I can see a Bentt type stoppage

    If Williams is out of there by the 5 th then Tommy Win's .If hes still trying to ko Cleve after that ,then I see him running in to trouble .He'd go all out imo from the first ,trying to blow him out .But if Tommy s not successful then he's gassing hard .Williams turn then to hammer away ..
