    Morrison with his deadly left or Frank with his deadly right.

    Morrison’s left hook was a special weapon, fast sneaky and seriously heavy. Bruno was a big puncher but not the same spectacular delivery of a Morrison left hook, didn’t look as good landing his power punches. Morrison’s the owner of maybe the best left hook at heavy ever imo

    Tommy's left hook ranks as,, one,, of the all time hardest heavyweight punches.

    Bruno’s punches were heavier,Tommy’s had much more speed.
    Overall though Tommy’s was a much more potent weapon.

    Morrison wasn't much. But that left hook is easily top 10 in
    heavyweight history for power and speed. (Possibly top
    5) Bruno was a good puncher, but he ain't no Tommy Morrison.

    As a show closer it was more potent than Frazier’s. Who you have ahead of him out of interest ?

    Liston, Tyson, Louis, Tua, Frazier, Cooney, maybe Dempsey, but his competition (Dempsey) was very suspect, so I'm on the fence about him. Your right about Morrison's ability to close the show with one punch better than Frazier, but I lean ( Slightly) to Frazier because of his accuracy , timing, and quickness.
    But I wouldn't argue with you if you have him higher because Morrison's left hook was a monster. He was a much better puncher than Bruno in my opinion.

    Ok, he’s higher than some you mentioned imo to me. Take Louis for instance. Great left hooker, sharp, hard, precise, could double it up no probs, for me Morrison’s is heavier, thrown further back. Tua if he’s punching a heavy bag could crack as hard as anyone, but he rarely landed it properly , i was always waiting for a highlight reel ko but he couldn’t do it regular if at all. Morrison’s is much better overall. I don’t even think Tyson had the power of Morrison in his left hook either. For all his flaws, he was blessed with that one punch

    Frazier would throw it more than Morrison, relentless with it too

    Morrison was a show pony.

    And Bruno... well... well...

    Bruno was a show pony, too.

    Frank beat better fighters and he KO'd better fighters, if either of those qualities count.
