Wladimir & Morrison - One In The Same?

Well i don't know what fight you've been watching, but during the first 9 rounds, Ross did nothing but stumble forwards with his guard up and taking a beating. He was hardly getting any of his own punches off.

 

Mediocre is very generous. He never beat a live body. Only compeltely washed up guys like Williams or Ruddock, or fringe guys like Joe hipp.

And he still ususally struggled.

He was KTFOd by a guy who already had brain damage- no offense to Michael Bent, who was a good fighter and a nice guy.

 

While there are some superficial similarities, there really is no equality between W. Klitschko and Tommy Morrison. The high point in the career of Morrison came against a pre 2nd title George Foreman, and IMO, he used a perfectly reasonable, disciplined, effective strategy to upset Big George. This version of Tommy Morrison was never seen again, whereas it's fairly obvious that W.K. has been far more successful and industrious as both a fighter as well as a title holder. He seems to be poised to clean out the division and unify the belt in the process. Wlad, like his style last time out or not, has more than one single dimension as a fighter, and he has the tools to deal with an opponent in more than just one way. Career accomplishments alone seperate the two men alone.

 

Bentt suffered the brain injury after the Morrison fight.In his loss to Hide.Bentt was highly underrated.Most dont know that he was a highly regarded former amateur star(not gold medallist but golden gloves etc).

Morrison wasnt a better fighter then Wlad period.Though i prefer to watch old Morrison clips then Mr Klitscko anyday.

I think Morrison's wild partying and banging of over 2000 chicks by 26 leading to being infected with H.I.V. didnt help his career.

I actuall got to speak to the Tommy and from what he says he ruined his own career by 92ish onwards he was not training hard and preferred banging broads and doing drugs.Kind of pissed me off as im a massive fan and think he could of achieved alot more if he was fully dedicated.

He did have decent skillset and awesome power.Im not saying he would of been elite or anything but had he been around when he should of been(late 90's early 2000's)he would of beaten the likes of rahman and ruiz etc who somehow achieved some big scalps.

I miss most of the 90's heavyweights who used to come in atleast decent shape and throw punches.

I honestly rather watch the likes of Bruno,Ruddock,Mercer and Morrison etc(lesser 90's fighters) then the dud heavies around these days.

Alot of action back then.

And before anyone comments on my post remember i have mentioned at the top that Wlad is definetly a more superior fighter then Morrison.

Though i have dreams of Morrison connecting his lefthook on Wlad.:hey
