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

Vaulin bossed the first four rounds. Tommy looked all at sea. Then he folded Vaulin like a napkin in the 5th. Fun fight

 

Either Moorer gets flattened in the first 4 rounds or he weathers the early storm and picks Tommy apart for a mid to late round stopage.

 

I really have to think about this one. Off the top of my head I'm undecided. We're going out, about 40 miles away. I'll think about it while driving, but not hard enough to hit into anything. Hopefully!

 

I remember how tough MM was in the late 80.s and early 1990's. He was one of the most talked about fighters. Loved his guts in the fight with Cooper. My opinion.....too much for Tommy to handle. Better skills but a puncher always has a chance.. MM tko in the middle rounds. Wasnt Tommy really accelerating his drug issues around this time? After the Foreman fight?

 

Moorer. Big.


Way too accurate with those hands. And Morrison does not have the defense to hang in the rounds while he tries to solve a southpaw. Everything Moorer throws will land on this guy---strong jab. Nasty hooks from both hands and bad news for Tommy--uppercuts from both hands.

A fans fight for certain, but we really never got too many of these barn burner type matches. The loser just falls too far down in the scheme of things. And the added factor of trying to rebuild a guy after a ko loss. Easier to go ahead and fight someone else.

 

i disagree. I thought Morrison looked awful on his own, against Lewis. Not sure if his disease was beginning to affect his performances but it was his last fight before testing positive. His energy level was terrible in that fight.

 

I would favored Moorer. Morrison struggled with southpaws. But he def had a punchers chance. Moorer was no world beater at heavy. 70-30 Moorer imo

 

Thinking about this hypothetical match up brought Patterson vs. Johansson to my mind. In a three fight series at that exact time in history, I could see Moorer winning 2 and Morrison 1.

 

He was done- he also had aids he was shot and barely scraped by an equally shot Ruddock.

 

50/50 bout imo.

Wins who hits the hardest.

 

Morrison stops him

 

Moorer probably gets knocked down early, climbs off the canvas and starts to find his range. Moorer had a very good righthook. That was his best power punch. His jab would bother Tommy as the bout wore on. Once Morrison starts to slow and gets sloppy I think Moorer stops him.
