    About as fake as the Corey Williams fight was

    Did you see the way his head snapped? Clearly Morrison is a powerhouse, but this also shows something else. I've always stated that fighters that reach legitimate world class rankings have a different kind of chin than that of the general public. Even the ones that get labeled as "china chinned." Tommy Hearns probably takes a hell of a lot better shot compared to any of your local tuff-man contest winners.

    Never underestimate what a powerful man stepping in to a stiff snapping jab can do to a tomato can.

    Let me ask this: who else did Morrison ever knock out with a jab?

    also, when did his jab, outside of the Foreman fight, ever really hold any water in his defense anyways?

    That was Mike Foley's one, and only, professional fight. It's not like Morrison was jabbing Ray Mercer in that one.

    Maybe, but that still dont answer the question. When did Morrison ever duplicate that feat, and when else was his jab ever that dominate, except when facing the plodding Foreman? Never!

    :lol:

    Oh, such meaningless bull****.

    "When did he do it again? Huh huh huh?"

    I don't remember this being debate material.

    Mhm, well said.

    Tommy couldn't stand up to the world class punches of Hagler and Leonard, but I'd love to see a drunk 150 lb joe blow try and dent him.

    Great jab, but i wouldn't be surprised if it was a fix. The guy never bought before or after this one, although he did know proper stance. Still though, a hard hitting, charismatic white guy is a gold mine worth to invest in.

    Sorry but thats a left hook, and its very real. Watch it in play-pause stops. Somebody walks in front of the camera the split second the punch is thrown, so the turn of his body portion is blocked from view and we only see the very beginning and ending of the punch but not the movement of the punch itself, so it comes out looking like he threw a jab. No doubt the left hook legitmately found his target, no way to 'fake' the impact on that other fellows head.

    yeah kinda resembles a jab but there is alot of angle on it...maybe a straight left hook is a good description.
