    If Tua couldn't hurt Ike then Morrison can't do **** either.

    Are you serious? Ike anesthetizes Tommy.

    I’m talking about a JMM vs Manny type of KO where if everyone wanted to quietly walk out of the arena without waking the KO’d fighter, he would still be sleeping 8 hours later.

    Tommy punches harder and is faster.

    Tua didn't really catch Ike with a true full leveraged flush shot and combinations, so who knows would Ike survive if Tommy catches him with his devastating combination right uppercut - left hook.

    Ray Mercer was one of those rare fighters that could, I'm not convinced Ike could.

    Still, I favor Ike but give Morrison chance in the early stage of the fight.

    Mercer and Purrity were both ultra durable and both ate plenty flush from Morrison. I think Ike's chin was quite sturdy and he could weather whatever short term dangers Morrison might be able to put him in.

    Bad matchup for Morrison. Ike by Ko and very early.

    It looks like a really bad matchup for Tommy. Ike soaked up some bombs from Tua and barely flinched. He's also showed he actually a decent defensive heavyweight and has plenty of power of his own. We didn't see a lot of him but he showed me enough to think he'd be terrible for Tommy.

    I can see Tommy jumping on him and KO'ing Ike early.

    But if he does not, it will be a tough fight for him.

    I will be the lone dissenter and pick Morrison in a KO, as he had the power and the combinations to hurt anyone.
