Tommy " the Duke" Morrison Vs Michael Moorer.

And he'd be foolish enough to stand in front of Morrison as well.

 

You're losing your mind.

 

Watch the fight again. He was literally turning his shoulder in the opposite direction of Foreman and running to the other side of the ring. It was the only way he could win, so good on him for executing the game plan.

 

Again, the consensus of boxing experts in the 90's is that Morrison wasn't even in Moorer's league. So, basically you are hoping for Morrison to have a career best night (which in reality was a peck and run fest with an old man) and Moorer to have one of his worst nights.

Furthermore, there is no magical stylistic advantage to be taken advantage of here... and if there is one, it is Tommy's susceptibility to counter punchers and straight shooters.

I give Tommy a chance, just not a very good one.

 

yeah I have to give Morrison the decision over Foreman but agree that it was a pretty poor display and not a fight that I'd give him huge props for... Certainly isn't something I'd use to build a case for a head to head prediction.. In fact I give Michael greater credit for the work he did over 10 rounds with Foreman than I do to Morrison for taking that 12 round decision. While Michael fought foolishly at times, he showed that he could go toe to toe with George for a long period, both taking and landing meaningful shots while still controlling the action. Hell at one point he even tried to knock George out and had him pretty badly hurt.. If Morrison ran the same way against Moorer that he did against Foreman, it probably works in Moorer's favor. If he chooses to engage Moorer in his usual inside brawling manner, then he puts himself at risk to be outmaneuvered and out classed by a fast handed south paw with similar power.. For the record, I still think that either man can win this, but if forced to choose a favorite I'd probably have to pick Double M.

 

Morrison's hugely overrated here.
Moorer wasn't much better, but he was clearly better.
His chin's surely no worse than Morrison's.

 

Agreed,

For those who insist that Michael Moorer's " glass" chin would be the deciding factor in this match, they obviously haven't seen Tommy's fights with Michael Bentt, Ray Mercer, Ross Purity, or an aged Carl Williams... Hell the only men who ever stopped Moorer were world class.. Morrison was floored, hurt and even beaten by journeyman..

 

No , what you described is exactly what Wlad did against Povetkin. You saw the gif. Never have i seen anybody turn a complete 180 and run like Wlad did.

Not Morrison , not anybody. You mistook Foreman beating Tommy to the head and Tommy staggering forward as running away.

Why do you praise Wlad for doing exactly what you ridicule Morrison for doing

 

^^^^

 

Wlad won by 15 points on all cards, knocked down a guy twice who had never been KD'd and has since emerged as the definitive best heavy in the world outside of Wlad.

Tommy pecked and ran for 12 rounds against a geriatric and eeked out a decision...

Exactly the same thing.

 

Povetkin was down more than twice. Morrison out boxed, and out landed Foreman. He won within the rules.

 

Morrison's performance vs Foreman > Moorer's performance vs Foreman....don't care if he ran...he was smart and stuck to a winning game plan....Moorer stupidly stood in front of GF and got ko'ed.

 

Sooner or later Tommy ko's him

 

It's still comparing a career best performance to a career worst. (Tua came after his prime.)
