Tommy Morrison vs. David Tua's...

[Russell]

Opposition?

Moorer, Obed, Ruiz, and so on.

How's Tommy do?

[PowerPuncher]

Not sure but Tua KTFO of Morrison

As for Tua's comp:

Ike Ibeauchi - rips Morrison a new 1.

Moorer - 50-50, Moorer is the superior boxer, but both have weak chins and big power

Rahman - I favour Rahman but close to call

Maskeev - 50-50

[SuzieQ49]

Tua in a landslide. Though Tua can be easily outboxed, He has devastating late clutch boxer as proven in the Izon, Oquendo, Maskaev, Rahman fights all late round Kayos in fights he was behind on cards. In a fight with Morrison, Glass jaw morrison would be kayoed very quickly by Tua in a slugfest.


Tua beat a lot of ranked contenders...The prime young contenders he beat Oleg Maskaev, john Ruiz, Hasim Rahman, Fres Oquendo, David Izon, Obed Sullivan, and many think tua should have got the nod over a Prime Ike Ibeabuchi(who is better than Klit)


Tommy Morrisons win resume 45 Year old George Foreman, Washed up Razor Ruddock, Joe Hipp, doesnt come close to comparing to Tua.

[SuzieQ49]

Michael Moorer was shot when he fought Tua. Morrison knocks out that version of Moorer. Wins over young prime contenders like Maskaev, Ruiz, Izon, O Sullivan, Oquendo and near win over Ibeubuchi are good.

I like Ibeubuchi, Ruiz, Maskaev over Morrison. The Rest Morrison wins.

[Russell]

I'd love to see Morrison/Rahman, personally.

Just Like he did to Novice Michael Bennt right? or Joe Hipp? or Ross Purrity? :lol:

[Russell]

Bennt was an accomplished amateur, hardly a "novice".

:smoke :scaredas: :scaredas: :scaredas:

[SuzieQ49]

Bennt had 10 pro fights going into the morrison fight!

[Russell]

Key word being "pro".

[Punisher33]

Unlike Rahman, Morrsion got up from most of his knockdowns, and even beat guy's that he went down against, he beat Williams, Ruddock, and Purrity(draw), Rahman never was able to battle back after being hurt, Morrison hit harder, more skilled, and was alot tougher, and had a slightly better chin.

Opposition?

[QUOTE]Moorer,

A prime Moorer, and not the one who actually fought Tua, beats Tommy. The south paw stance, handspeed and power would be all wrong for the Duke.


Obed, Your guess is as good as mine.



Ruiz


Against the version of John Ruiz that Tua fought, anything could have happened. Against a later Ruiz, however, I'd pick his savy and survival tactics to wear out Morrison and stop him late.


How does he do?


Rather poor overall. I think Most of the top men who Tua beat or lost to, would defeat Morrison even at his best.

[brooklyn1550]

Morrison beats Moorer, Rahman, Izon, Sullivan, Maskaev, Oquendo, and Ruiz. Keep in mind I'm taking the fighters at the time they fought Tua. Ibeabuchi and Lewis both knock Morrison out.

Byrd/Morrison is an interesting one

[red cobra]

A pumped up, Ruiz era David Tua would catch Tommy Morrison in the first round with a left hook bomb and it would be all over, just like the Ruiz and Moorer fights. Tua would catch him on the ropes, and as that first left hook would basically render Morrison unconcsious, he would be going down, but not in time to prevent Tua from following up with a few more viscious shots to top it off. It would have everyone comparing Tua to Dempsey, Marciano, Tyson,...Needless to say, Morrison would have been finished off much quicker and scarier then he was against Mercer even.

[ozziebattler]

Bennt had 10 pro fights going into the morrison fight!

How manyfights did Leon Spinks have going into Ali1??

Morrison was no elite fighter but unfortunetly will be underrated through his own doing.I always wonder which one of the 2000 plus women he banged before the age of 26 gave him the infection.
