Would Tommy Morrison have beaten a prime Tyrell Biggs?

Biggs of the Snipes fight has a very good shot of victory

 

I'd expect Biggs to win.

 

Biggs is extremely underrated in his prime state, and provides a damn good fight to just about most quality heavyweights. I don't see Morrison getting a stoppage, and I know for a fact that he wouldn't be able to take the decision.

 

1987 Tyrell Biggs would have a chance.

 

Well seeing how a very past it Carl Williams had Morrison on the deck 3 times i think a prime Biggs could beat Morrison. But my issue is Biggs often like to exchanges punches too much instead of using his height, reach, movement, and that might be his undoing vs Morrison.

Biggs certainly has the skills to beat Morrison but could he fight a smart fight for an extended period of time without getting involved with exchanging punches with Morrison ? i'm not sure.

 

Biggs is one of those guys who had the talent but just never seemed to be able to translate it into a great career.

 

Morrison KO prime for prime, Morrison was another guy who had ability and didn’t necessarily make the most of it, prime for prime, he has the style to win and Biggs doesn’t have the kryptonite for Morrison, he’s not massive puncher, he’s a boxer, Morrison was decent at closing off the ring and closing off the distance, and Biggs didn’t have the power or the ability to plant his feet and time guys in the way in and hurt them.

 

Biggs also had heart, he'd fight on when Hurt.

 

Tommy is underrated head to head in my opinion. Kid could box, had big, big cojones and fight ending power. I think he'd drag Biggs, who is a beeter boxer, down to his level and knock him out sometime in the mid to late rounds

 

Williams was much, much harder puncher than Biggs, but, as you rightfully said he was shot when he almost KOed prime Morrison. And Morrison's chin was bad enough to be shattered in 1 round by a guy with 5 KOs in 11 fights, so Biggs would have had a chance. I'd still favour Tommy though, based mostly on his toughness. He survived some tough, tough fights (Williams, Hipp, Ruddock, Puritty - probably should have lost to Ross but still went the distance, beat other 3), Biggs didn't

 

Honestly if Biggs stopped smoking crack, he'd be a force at Heavyweight at the time. I can see him picking up a belt or two, perhaps even lineal status if matched right.

 

Biggs rocked Bowe while way past it.

 

Biggs never smoked crack. He had a coke problem before turning pro and went to rehab. He was clean during the important years of his career. He didn’t win a belt because he had to go through Tyson.
