    Tua potentially in the first couple of rounds, really could be that fast imo.

    First off, wrong. He defeated Ruiz , Maskaev, Rahman , Moorer .. four champions. His loss to a terrific Ike was razor thin and could have gone either way when you take the time to watch it more than the first time ... it's styles ... Morrison had good speed, very good power and could fight but he did get winded and his chin was average .. he was not outboxing Tua ... he moved and counter punched Big George but Foreman while crafty and still dangerous was too slow ...

    Morrison could switch up and outbox Tua, similar to what he did against Foreman. I think Tua is a bit more dangerous but we've seen less skilled heavies come thisclose to outpointing Tua over 12 only to be caught late in the fight.

    Morrison's stamina might be a problem. If Tua's left hook don't get Tommy, that dodgy stamina will...

    This is exactly right, and I will add that some if Morrison's good qualities came from the PEDs.
