    Who did he beat of a higher class than Morrison? GGG could go on and beat another 17 under matched welters and juniors.
    Would that make him the greatest MW of all time?

    Is DM better than former great LHWs because he was untouchable for 20 plus defences ?

    Tommy's agression, speed, and power will get him the win. Morrison had good head movement and one of the best left hooks ever, which was proven to be key ala Brewster/Wlad 1. Morrison may get dropped. but he's a bad style matchup for Wlad. Quick, agressive, KO power. Morrison TKO 5

    What was Morrison's best KO win? Was it a used up, half retired Ruddock or the Joe Hipp who broke his jaw? What were these guys rated at the time?

    Hipp broke his jaw , but he still won , so we can put to bed who had the better chin right there.


    You don't think Tommy would of starched out Pulev???. You know Dukes left would of bowled over Pulev in the first few rounds and i guarantee you it would have looked smooth and fluid and not half as ugly and sloppy as Wlad made it be.

    The only guy on Wlads record who could beat Tommy is Povetkin , but anybody could beat Povetkin being allowed do what Wlad did to him.

    Morrison would be a top 10 ATG if here were around today.

    I agree Morrison beats Pulev, but that isn't saying much imo.

    It's true Ruddock retired after the Morrison fight,it's also true that when he came back 3 years later for a further 10 fights he won all of them, 9 by stoppage.:think
    ps What is Pulev's best ko win? Dimitrenko, who had beaten who?

    Tommy by KO in 6 rounds. He was the greatest puncher of the 90s and was much faster than either Klitschko. He might have had trouble with Wlad's size and jab, but a double left hook does it.

    It's a complete mismatch. Morrison would get destroyed.

    You should at least give a Prime Morrison a puncher's chance.

    Lets be real here, yeah?

    What fast, explosive , power puncher did Wlad ever beat?

    What bob n waver with excellent head movement did he ever beat.

    Manny said Chisora's style was all wrong for Wlad and he wasn't as fast and powerful as Morrison.

    Look at this guy trying to act like some type of expert after he predicted Pulev was going to carve Wlad up and stop him.

    Honor your bet, Duckman. You don't know ****. Cling to your fantasy predictions, you'll never call a real fight right.

    How long does Wlad last bouncing up and down with his hands down , waiting for his opponent to stand still so he can throw a hook against Morrison?

    Tommy didn't you to be standing still when he came at you like a tornado with that left hook.

    Why do people think Wlad could knock out the Duke , when Wlad couldn't even hurt Jennings and Tommy is more physically imposing than Jennings with faster legs , hands and a more monstrous punch?

    Depends on which version of Wlad it is.

    The early version on Wlad KOs Morrison in 2 to 3 rounds.

    The safety first Wlad wins a wide decision.

    Safety version would accidently knock him out.
