Tyrell biggs V Tommy morrison?

Prime Biggs would beat him. Tommy struggled enough with a shot Carl Williams.

 

I could see Biggs building up a big lead behind his jab. but like the Damamai and mason fights I think Morrison will get to Biggs and stop him.Biggs was a excellent boxer but not very robust when under attack.

 

Its is largely forgotten that Briggs fought prime Tyson after 15 fights. He was ruined by Tyson
as he took a year off after ko loss and was in next two fights ko by Damiani and Mason .
Morrison was ko 1 by decorated amatuer Bennett who had only 11 fights at time.
Briggs didn't have the power to ko Morrison so Briggs on points.

 

I'm undecided but I might give the 1987 rendition of Tyrell a chance here. He hung in there for 7 rounds with a peak Tyson and beat good fighters in Snipes and Sims. He also still had the Duva's in his corner.

 

Yeah he was never the same after the sustained beating that Tyson gave him. Before that he had shown good qualities like good skills, heart and a decent chin in outboxing big punching Jeff Sims,with one arm and KOing David Bey after sustaining a potential fight ending cut in that fight It was said that the Duvas rushed Biggs into the Tyson fight either because they were aware that Biggs was having possible drug related problems outside the ring or that they wanted to catch Tyson before Tyson reached his peak but whatever the reason the gamble failed and Biggs was sadly never the same fighter again after the Tyson beating.

 

I think he showed up for Damiani. The cut just ended his chance to win. The layoff after that ruined him.

 

The common opponent here is Lennox Lewis and if you watch those two fights it's really difficult not to pick Biggs.

 

Its not entirely true that the Tyson fight finished Biggs .He was in the best shape i ever saw him for Damiani a year later, but it was a stupid fight to take first fight back.
He had poor defences when he came under attack and just did all the wrong things when under assault.Burt was fine as long as he had a little height and reach advantage that gave him time to think and breathe.
He was a boxer, not a fighter. Duva tried to teach him to fight which didnt work.
His style was stick and move, the problem was he never had the stamina to stick and move for the required distance in the pro's.
Watch round 1 v Tyson. He sticks and moves and gets ahead on points. Trouble is as soon as he gets tagged he stops movin ,leans in , giving up all his advantages and gets into a scap he cant win.
He sticks and moves all night against Tillis,Occasio,Snipes and Marin, winning those fights well, but then he gets booed by the crowd.
Poor guy couldnt win really.
He never really had the power to trouble the big elite guys, so Morrison is a worry .He SHOULD win on points, but he should've beat Gary Mason on points but he didnt.
15-0 Biggs, i take my friend to win on points, IF he sticks to stick and move he should win with his jab, but with Biggs things never quite worked out that way !

 

Th

They put him in with Mike because they ran out of patience.After his first pro fight he checked into rehab.Then he fractured a hand in training. Then he hurt his wrist in a minor car crash.He broke his collarbone in the Sims fight and so on. When he fought Tyson he had 15 fights. Tyson had over 30 but turned pro AFTER Biggs.
They were worried something was gonna boil over with Biggs one way or another.Duva himself liked Biggs and always said he had no real trouble with him,but i guess they just thought they should get to the payoff before something or someone blew it.
They thought he had a chance of beating Tyson, i do believe that.
It was after the Tyson fight where i believe they let him down in many ways, both proffesional and personal.

 

Biggs fought a 17 fight version of Lewis and got utterly destroyed in 3 rounds. Morrison fought a far more seasoned rendition of the Lion and manged to last 6. Does this mean anything? maybe not. But I don't see how this comparison illustrates anything.

 

Yes i was a little confused by that.
See my posts above,they are facts regarding Biggs.
Regarding the Lewis fight, he turned up looking like crap. The previous year he won 4 fights on the bounce and looked the same as pre Tyson.
He turned 30 and was given another shot at the bigtime versus Bowe.
He put up a helluva fight but collapsed in round 8.
That fight took the last of whatever he had at that level.
The Lewis fight was 8 months later and there was no mistaking that Tyrell Biggs was now relegated to the role of 'opponent' and for the first time he knew it. Boxing was just a means of a paycheck from there on. He had nothin at all in the Lewis fight. He looked 5 years older than the man who fought Bowe earlier that year. The Bowe defeat spelled the end for him in the big time and i think he gave up after that. The only time i saw him in great shape after that was 2 years after the Lewis fight he entered the peoples tournament as they called it. 3 round fights, he lost weight and looked sharp. He lost to Tubbs in the semi final.
