What If Tommy Morrison Had Gotten The Shot Against Moorer??

Would have been a good fight I think. Think Moorer was the better though. Moorer by late KO or decision

 

Morrison would have to fite a lot better than he did vs Lennox lewis, always a puncher's chance.

 

Morrison takes him out early, but Moorer probably outpoints him if he doesn't die in the first 4 or 5 rounds.

 

Morrison struggled against two other southpaws, Vaulin and Hipp, Moorer was quicker and probably a better puncher than either of them.

 

I checked BoxRec and apparently Morrison got a broken jaw and hand, Hipp got a broken bone in his face in their fight. I watched the Vaulin fight. I might have been wrong about Moorer being quicker than Vaulin. Vaulin arguably won the first 4 rounds before being stopped by liver punches from Morrison.

Moorer was the more complete guy. He also had a grit to him as he climbed off the deck multiple times in his career to win fights. Only Foreman and Tua knocked him out and there is no shame in that. Morrison was the harder puncher with the left hook but as was pointed out, he struggled with southpaws and Moorer was one of the better southpaws in heavyweight history.

 

Two glass chins going at it. The front rows better bring goggles.

 

I've seen that fight. Hipp put up a brave performance, and really left it on the line.

 

Moorer has the ability to outbox Morrison if he wanted to. But he probably go to war which would favor Tommy.

 

I watched it live. I remember Dan Derdorpf was one of the commentators. Hipp definitely roughed him up.
