    Opposition?

    Moorer, Obed, Ruiz, and so on.

    How's Tommy do?

    Not sure but Tua KTFO of Morrison

    As for Tua's comp:

    Ike Ibeauchi - rips Morrison a new 1.

    Moorer - 50-50, Moorer is the superior boxer, but both have weak chins and big power

    Rahman - I favour Rahman but close to call

    Maskeev - 50-50

    Tua in a landslide. Though Tua can be easily outboxed, He has devastating late clutch boxer as proven in the Izon, Oquendo, Maskaev, Rahman fights all late round Kayos in fights he was behind on cards. In a fight with Morrison, Glass jaw morrison would be kayoed very quickly by Tua in a slugfest.


    Tua beat a lot of ranked contenders...The prime young contenders he beat Oleg Maskaev, john Ruiz, Hasim Rahman, Fres Oquendo, David Izon, Obed Sullivan, and many think tua should have got the nod over a Prime Ike Ibeabuchi(who is better than Klit)


    Tommy Morrisons win resume 45 Year old George Foreman, Washed up Razor Ruddock, Joe Hipp, doesnt come close to comparing to Tua.

    Michael Moorer was shot when he fought Tua. Morrison knocks out that version of Moorer. Wins over young prime contenders like Maskaev, Ruiz, Izon, O Sullivan, Oquendo and near win over Ibeubuchi are good.

    I like Ibeubuchi, Ruiz, Maskaev over Morrison. The Rest Morrison wins.

    Bennt was an accomplished amateur, hardly a "novice".

    Unlike Rahman, Morrsion got up from most of his knockdowns, and even beat guy's that he went down against, he beat Williams, Ruddock, and Purrity(draw), Rahman never was able to battle back after being hurt, Morrison hit harder, more skilled, and was alot tougher, and had a slightly better chin.

    Morrison beats Moorer, Rahman, Izon, Sullivan, Maskaev, Oquendo, and Ruiz. Keep in mind I'm taking the fighters at the time they fought Tua. Ibeabuchi and Lewis both knock Morrison out.

    Byrd/Morrison is an interesting one

    A pumped up, Ruiz era David Tua would catch Tommy Morrison in the first round with a left hook bomb and it would be all over, just like the Ruiz and Moorer fights. Tua would catch him on the ropes, and as that first left hook would basically render Morrison unconcsious, he would be going down, but not in time to prevent Tua from following up with a few more viscious shots to top it off. It would have everyone comparing Tua to Dempsey, Marciano, Tyson,...Needless to say, Morrison would have been finished off much quicker and scarier then he was against Mercer even.
