    I recently watched a highlight reel of "The Duke's" knockouts and it was brutally impressive. His annihilation of James "Quick" Tillis especially so. How would that version fare against a 270lb Miller?

    Morrison doesn't make it through the pre fight testing. If he did and boxed clean he wouldn't be the guy we remember. In his own words:

    That would be a good one. Could easily go either way. But I suspect it might have a Mercer outcome. Miller would probably weather the storm and catch Morrison later. Since no one has dented Miller so far it is hard to know what happens when he is caught with some bombs, the kind Morrison could throw.

    He'd be fine, he'd just fight twice per year like most top pros now and dope between fights and then cycle off before he had to go into training camp.

    If every boxer in every country had to do true random testing 365 days per year we'd see even more fighters get caught I'm sure.

    Morrison beats Miller. Miller doesn't hit hard enough, he's too slow and too easy to hit. Can't see him being able to last long enough for his work rate to become a factor.

    This is a match that could be made. Match Miller with Trey Lippe. Would be competitive at least.

    I'll take Morrison. Better skills, more explosive. Miller has size and ... size, I guess.

    Lol! Morrison said that “He wouldn’t have gone as far” as he did because boxing in the 90’s was FULL of steroids. Ask Holyfield and Roy Jones. Morrison was just leveling the playing field.


    Tommy gets fat and slow Miller out of there in 5.

    Yeah, my point was that the Morrison we saw was the roided version. How good would a clean (er) version be?

    Miller makes Morrison sleep standing up. It would happen in round one if Tommy slugs or round 5 if he rides his bike.

    Johan Duhaupas hit Miller with a right uppercut & left hook combo on more than one occasion. Morrison loved to throw that combo and it would have been interesting to see if Jarrell could withstand it.

    Millers pressure and work rate would be an issue for Morrisons stamina. If he can take the early assault he wins late by grinding tommy down

    This. Miller's size would just make him an easier target for Morrison.

    True, but it's a big if, Duhaupas and Wach had no problem landing on Miller and they were far slower and inferior to Morrison. Morrison would from the opening bell would be landing flush with regularity as Miller is so easy to hit.
