    Bowe's two fights with Golota are largely seen as loses & his bout with Tubbs could have gone either way.
    I do agree he has the beating of Morrison though.

    I would rate Morrison above Golota & we all know what happened in those fights, people say Bowe was shot although there was no evidence to suggest that prior, Bowe wins but it's not a walk in the park.

    Bowe's two fights with Golota are largely seen as losses & he had a close encounter with Tubbs, that said, i do agree with the outcome.
    One or two scares aside Bowe stops Morrison inside 6 rounds.

    Peak Morrison (Foreman fight) would lose to peak Bowe (Holyfield 1).

    Bowe is the safer bet

    Remember that left jab from Bowe that snapped Holyfield's head back at the start of their famous tenth round?

    I can see Bowe doing that to Morrison repeatedly.

    Bowe would bully Morrison and knock him out.

    Bowe’s chin in that first Holyfield fight was unbelievable. Holyfield ain’t a big hitter but some of those right hands and a big uppercut I remember well that he countered with should have been knocking anyone back. Bowe was walking through it.

    Morrison ain’t knocking Bowe out and will get stopped.
