    Frazier was stunned often early in fights even before he fought Ali and Foreman. He was an exceedingly slow starter.

    The Frazier who fought Ali in 1971 was a machine. You cannot compare a nothing like Morrison to that Frazier. That Frazier would utterly destroy Morrison...man against a boy, borderline all time great vs a challenger who will be forgotten in time. You have a highly distorted view of what boxing is all about...very distorted view of what attributes make a fighter a great fighter. Morrison was in no way a great fighter...Frazier was.

    You really are lost. You need to understand what being a great fighter is all about. You cannot compare in any way Ali and Morrison. Ali wins easily. Just in no way comparable. Morrison has no chance whosoever. Id like to know how old you are?

    Again, the question you Classicists refuse to answer, I will repeat again.

    Where are the elite power punching 185 pound heavyweights today?

    Point me to one.

    Ali easily. I wish all polls were this easy to answer.

    A motivated, in-shape Ali beats morrison pretty rasily. Tommy had nothing that ali hasn't seen before so stylistically he wouldn't pose much of a problem. He was also too wide open and ali takes advantage of this a steady tattoo of 1-2's.

    After spinks 2 , however, it would be a tougher match because ali had sharply declined in his abilittes.

    Cooney who had zero muscle on his frame could have beaten Foreman. His left hook almost dropped him and he was ripe for the killing. Morrison, the fast hard puncher couldn't do any of that.

    He gets beaten in the 70s,no threat.

    Anybody who thinks that all Morison needs to be great is a different era, is living in a fantasy world.

    If Morrison was this so called monster your trying to make him out to be, what happened against Bennt?

    You can stop comparing the guy to greats from other eras when he didnt do diddly squat in his own era.

    Lennox took Morrison to school, yet hes always spoken about Ali as being the GOAT.

    Surely if Morrison was as great as your trying to make him out to be, Lennox would have mentioned something along the lines of.....Tommy Morrison is one of the ATGS?

    When Vitali returned, against Peters, why did Vitali have Frazier on his entrance video and not Tommy Morrison??

    Why did Wlad make that entrance with Ali and not Tommy Morrison?

    After the Chisora fight, Vitali challenged Haye and asked him if he wanted the same WBC belt held by other greats such as Ali, Lewis and Tyson, why didnt he mention Tommy Morrison? oh wait, Morrison never actually won anything in his own era.

    Ali lost to Spinks at a time where he physically should not have been in the ring with anyone. We are talking prime Ali. Morisson did not have the heart or durability to do anything with Ali in his prime.
