    Epic battle between two all-time left-hookers. ****ey has size and in his prime, toughness on his side. Morrison is quicker and a better boxer. Both hit like a mack truck. How does this play out?

    I like ****ey. Bigger, more powerful and a little sturdier in his prime.

    ****ey by a quick knockout. I think ****ey had a better career than Morrison, I don't think Morrison produced a performance the level of ****ey's against Holmes.

    I reckon ****ey would get out of the blocks very early and knock Morrison out pretty sharpish.

    Pre-Holmes version of Gerry would destroy Morrison.

    Gerry's size and reach may be the difference here. Morrison has gotten up off the canvas to win. Interesting fight I did respond double left hook TKO a couple of years ago haha. Im gonna go ****ey within 4, could go either way though.

    Michael Bentt styled KO is quite likely.

    ****ey could box when he wanted to, watch one of his early fights against Jimmy Young. Gerry by early kayo inside of three.

    True dat. Good job they're blocking out Gerry's surname or there'd be lynchings in the street. What letters are being blocked? H-o-n-k?

    ****ey,

    Actually ****ey was a pretty good Boxer he was just an alcoholic and had a few drinks before every fight He really needed prozac. Anxiety issues. I think that he would have knocked Tommy out. by the 6th or 7th round. His left hook was devestating
