    You gotta wonder though, would Morrison also fight that way when he faces a 5'11 180lbs opponent? What would happen to Patterson if he takes a flush Morrison left hook when walking to the neutral corner after having been down early?

    Patterson BEAT bonavena, that was a 37 year old floyd. I score the patterson-chuvalo fight 7 rounds to 5 floyd, floyd built an early lead, chuvalo came on strong but it wasnt enough. Ali had patterson winning.


    Patterson knocked out johannson silly the fight where johannson was 206lb.


    Patterson 4-0 against those guys, spin it anyway youd like.




    Tommy Morrison got the **** knocked out of him by Joe Hipp, thats just embarrasing man

    Well i said 210+lbs. None of them are.

    You're listing the fight when Johansson was out of shape and because of that he was 206lbs. By the way, since when is that 210+lbs?

    When Johansson was in better shape he went even with Patterson.



    And getting knocked down by a man making his pro debut isn't?

    So, if Chuvalo had come in 3 pounds heavier it makes some sort of big difference ?

    This obssession with weight is crazy.

    Was Morrison ever even knocked out cold?

    Against Bennt he was caught cold and kept getting up, flustered.

    He almost seemed embarrassed, not stumbling around and punchy.

    Floyd would start off fast, squeaking out the first round, when in the second, a big left hook from Morrison would put him on the canvas. Floyd would get up and finish the round. In the third, Morrison would miss more than connect, trying to deck Floyd again. In the third, Morrison would hurt Floyd with the left, and in trying to end it, would leave himself open for a fast, almost invisible left hook that would drop him. A foggy Morrison would get up only to be finished off in that same round by two beautiful, fast as lightning left hooks. Floyd by ko in round three. You see, Morrison had a fatal ***** in his armor, and that was his chin. I believe that he would probably have been able to reach Floyd's chin and register a knockdown, somewhat like Jerry Quarry did, but unlike Quarry, who had a chin, Morrison would have been totally surprised by Floyd's handspeed and power, and would have gone down and out somewhat like Ingemar Johannson did.

    It's either Morrison early or Patterson late. If Tommy does'nt blow Floyd out in the first couple of rounds then I see Floyd gradually wearing Tommy out and ending it with a well placed left hook(or a couple of hooks) around the 8th or 9th. Could go either way IMO.

    Floyd is a much better fighter than Tommy, and I think he would be smart enough and fast enough to take Tommy to the later rounds and blast him out.
