    Parker was more mediocre, Morrison, faster with more power wins by decision!!

    Parker is more mediocre by temperament, whereas Morrison is-well-in a way-well, whatever. None of these threads matter anyway. None of any of this matters. We should all go home to our kids. Or pets, or whatever. We cannot keep coming here to distract from the things in life that truly matter. We have things to do!

    Morrison knocks him cold. Parker is a pretty big disappointment considering all the early hype. Morrison is too but I'll take his power over anything Parker has to offer

    Morrison wasn't in the same class as Parker. Parker wins.

    I think Parker has the chin to take Morrison’s best along with the boxing ability to take him into deep water and either stop him or win a decision.

    Somehow I get the feeling that the best Parker would out-tough the best Morrison.

    In real life though I think Parker phones the fight in and Morrison either UD's him or stops him.

    Seems to me Parker has not lived up to his full potential because he just doesn't care.

    Who did Morrison ever stop? I don't think Morrison was above journeyman/gatekeeper level

    In that case Parker is below Journeyman level. Let's consider for a moment that Parker's best uncontroversial win is Carlos Takam and that he barely scraped by Ruiz, Hughie and the ghost of Chisora. Tommy has a higher level of scalp on his resume than that.

    Probably evenly matched due to Morrison's dodgy chin. If he had a good chin I would back him without a second thought.

    Fair point. Parker is as tough as nails. He might win the fight on his chin.

    Tommy did not have a higher level win than Ruiz. I had it a draw.

    I rate old Foreman as better than Ruiz, for one.

    And Ruiz' career isnt over yet. He's still going to lose to a bunch of no-names, bet the house on it.

    Tommy Morrison got knocked out by Michael Bentt. The win over Ruiz trumps anything Morrison did as far as I can see.
