    His chin was iron compared to Hides

    I pick Tommy (because im a fan). Tommy seems to be slightly underrated on here. The Bennt loss was because he seemed to get too carried away.

    I think Morrison had the same problem as Bruno, poor recuperative skills rather than bad chin, one punch on the chin and they freeze

    I had a lot riding on Hide, for the upset when Arum scrapped the card. Thank you Bob.

    At that point in time, Morrison had just suffered way too many surgeries for my liking. And everywhere--hands, knees, shoulders. I think traveling to a foreign country and everything, I thought he was a guy ready to be taken. It seemed like any sort of hitter Tommy fought > Mercer was knocking him around and the easiest it got for him was to climb off the deck to win. Tough path to follow and the clock was ticking.

    The funny thing with the heavies from back then is the fact that Evander and Lennox handled time the best. Boxers.
