    How does this play out between these two in their primes?

    Sanders had quicker hands with single shots, particularly the straight left. Morrison's combos were quicker and more fluid. The Tubbs fight makes Sanders look chinny, while the Vitali fight makes his chin look great. It was probably in the middle, an okay chin. Morrison had a weak chin. Neither guy had the best stamina, but Morrison did have some mid-to-late round stoppages in tough fights, and went 12 against Foreman while using his legs a lot.

    Morrison showed some real issues with the southpaw styles of Vaulin and Hipp. Sanders might get him out of there early. But if he doesn’t, Morrison showed he could rise from knockdowns and being hurt numerous times to win...even stopping Hipp with a broken jaw and broken hand. I doubt the judges would be needed in this one.

    Who do you pick?
