    Morrison didn't fight in the 1930's. He fought in the 1990's a high water mark, and did pretty well.

    How would Baer do in the 1990's, where everyone could out box him and he'd be the lighter man in almost all matches?

    Baer by the way lost a lot to no names, so spare us Benntt who would be a top 10 -15 man at some point in the 1930's. Point being Baer lost to several men lesser than Bentt.

    Losing to Lewis at his best is no shame. Morrison would have beaten anyone he hit that clearly except for Mercer. hen we have Bennt who was a fine amateur. Those are his 3 losses in a 52 fight career. Not so bad.

    Now, please Baer's 13 losses to me.

    Are we talking about early career DQs, decision Ls to almost entirely solid fighters, or the twilight loses to Nova? He wasn’t going to sleep in the ring like Tommy, whose career shouldn’t even count due to steroid abuse.

    Morrison fought in the 90s but didn’t fight the heavy hitters of the 90s except for Lewis and Mercer, and we know how those went.

    Tommy would send Baer to the real Circus, you don't clown with a howitzer!
