    Not in my corner, is all I can say. He was possessor of the single greatest quality a man can have - bravery.

    Lol Morrison couldn't dream of being on Liston's level, stop being silly.

    Morrison fought one puncher nowhere near the level below Patterson and couldn't make it out of the first round.
    Ingo was subsequently decapitated in their resulting encounters.

    Very misleading. Many of Patterson's knockdowns were the result of poor balance, or him taking a breather.

    Also you ****ing idiot, You'd also need two sets of hands to count Morrison's KD's as well. :lol:

    Dropped once by a shot Ruddock

    Dropped twice by Purrity

    Dropped twice by a shot Carl Williams

    Dropped three times by Bentt (lol)

    Dropped once by Mercer

    Dropped four times by Lewis

    So that's thirteen knockdowns
    if not for the three KD rule that protected Morrison from further knock downs, his amount of KDs would also be higher.

    Yes and he definitely demonstrated that, getting KTFO by a clubfighter, and going life and death with two has-beens that Tyson went through far easier in their primes.

    lol this top 15 fighter is being compared to the lineal champion of another era.

    lol at your Botha, and Grant comparisons. :lol:

    What a huge accomplishment to last longer than those two ATGs.

    As for Rahman, lol let's just leave out the fact that he actually has a win over Lewis unlike Morrison.
    Morrison levels Patterson.

    I agree. Only thing more ridiculous is a clubfighter coming off a dubious victory over a 14-18-1 fellow clubfighter, picking up a win over a "skilled op 10-15 full size 220 pound tall modern Heavy Big time Puncher."
    Oh wait.

    Morrison beats him like a drum, Morrison chin isn't that bad like Patterson but Morrison is bigger, stronger man and a harder puncher.

    He beat Williams, Ruddock and Foremam which I don't think Patterson could even dream about.
    He was not even knocked out by Lewis unlike Tyson, his chin was not the greatest but not as bad as everyone claiming.

    Perhaps he beat Ruddock worse than Tyson and Williams claimed that Morrison hit him the hardest.
    He outboxed Foreman which your hero opponent could not even dream about.

    Again Tommy Morrison was not within six solar systems of being historically elite, no matter how many people genuflect before him on this forum.

    I think prime Jerry Quarry would have ruined him.
