Tommy Morrison vs Floyd Patterson

[GV][/GV]

I suspect he would go down again. But, unless one was Sonny Liston, knocking down Patterson was never quite enough.

 

Tell that to Johansson.

 

I agree that, if Morrison could get Patterson into that deep a level of trouble, it would be over. But Ingo had to work very hard to finish off Patterson that night, and hard work was something that Morrison was too often adverse to.

Oddly enough, I think the most impressive Morrison performance didn't even exhibit him as a puncher: his outboxing of Foreman, while keeping that chin protected, was excellent. I can understand why people picked Tommy to beat Lewis, because on the basis of that fight one would say he was made to outbox bigger boxers.

 

Well it goes to show how over-rated Foreman was in the 90's. He struggled or lost to almost every fighter, and pretty mediocre ones too.

 

morrison by ko 2. just bigger and hit harder.

 

Keep dreaming,, Morrison might not wake up for a while after this one

 

Both have questionable chins, however Morrison made up for this with his power. Which Floyd lacked.

That being said Morrison tko2 or 3

 

Bennt isnt that bad actually. Wasnt he an alternate to ray mercer on the 1988 olympic team?

 

Only the very best were able to knock Patterson down and keep him there. Morrison I believe was too flawed and sloppy to defeat Patterson. He might have some early success but that's all.

Patterson by UD.

 

Coming from a guy who thinks up stuff along the lines of a "fred fulton would have ko´d mike tyson" i truely cherish your opinion

actually, you picking patterson kinda makes morrison a lock to win this one.

 

What?:blood

 

Patterson didnt have tremendous power, not on Morrisons level.

 

You need to start reading more before posting. :good

Patterson had a much better left hook than Morrison.

Patterson knocked Ingemar out for five full minutes, had him dazed and out on his feet for 15 minutes.

 

To those predicting an early knockout for Patterson:

When did Patterson ever produce a knockout in 3 rounds or less against top opposition?

How many men over 210 pounds did Patterson knock out? How many of them early ?



Let me know.

 

I reckon Paterson gets off the floor to stop Morrison in the mid-rounds. Floyds speed, movement and skills allied with his underrated power would cause Morrison problems. His chin may not have been great but he rose up from the canvas quite a lot against heavy hitting bigger men and it mostly took the kichen sink to keep him there. Morisson hits hard but not in Liston or even Johansson's league in terms of power or finishing.

Patterson TKO6.
