Michael Moorer v Tommy Morrison

[Roco]

Who would you fancy in this battle prime v prime.

[Grimm]

Morrison by Ko in 4.

Moorer's chin gives in.

[Goodnight, Irene]

Moorer TKO9. Too crafty & punches heavy enough to out-do --- then stop --- Morrison.

[HomicideHenry]

This is a tough fight to determine I think. I like Morrison, but I think Moorer wins it.

[Robinson]

Tough call, it would have its Moorer-Cooper moments. But I see
Moorer prevailing. Morrison struggles with the straight south paw
shots of Moorer, as they land consistently.

I can see Moorer winning by stoppage later in the fight as Morrison
slows, and moves his head-shoulders less.

Fun fight while it lasts.

Moorer late TKO

[purple.obi]

Okay, Morrison was almost as unpredictable as Mike Weaver, so Moorer could've won this one. I think however that if he chose to Morrison would get Moorer outta there. Tommy had much more resolve than Smokin' Bert (usually).

[dempseyfire]

Both had weak chins but I say Moorer's superior boxing ability and stamina save him more times than not.

[purple.obi]

Moorer was very dangerous at light heavy, but Morrison would possibly do a David Tua number on him. Throwing out the Mercer massacre (nobody could have withstood that), Tommy could get dropped but usually always came back to win.

[Adamj1987]

moorer as long as his confidence was up if not he'd perform bad and get KO'd

Unless he gets Bentt.

[overhand_right]

Morrison never even fought for the real world title, he'd wind up losing. Moorer had more class, better wins, think he comes out on top inside 4 or 5 rds.

[purple.obi]

Morrison wasn't champ but made his stamp. After he got thru with Double M there would be no Moorer. DD
As a sidenote, were Teddy Atlas and MM looking for an easy fight when they gave con artist George Foreman a shot at the title? Foreman got the try at Holyfield mostly off who he had been, I guess, but there's no way Foreman deserved another shot.

[ebeneezer]

Morrison admitted that he had trouble with southpaws. Any fighter that went life and death with Yuri Valens and Joe Hipp doesn't last with Moorer.

[Robinson]

Have you seen the Bentt fight, Purple ?

[purple.obi]

Have you seen the Bentt fight, Purple ?

Yeah, I saw all his major fights. That's why I bring up Mike Weaver. Tommy did get nailed in fights, but he was no quitter and more resiliant than probably given credit for. I remember seeing post-Lewis fight Ruddock (Ruddock, what happened?) quickly drop Morrison. Anyway, yes, Moorer-Morrison is incredibly intriguing.

[Robinson]

I agree. I feel Moorer has the goods at their best to beat Morrison.

Having said that I feel Morrison gives a good showing with alot of
guys past.

Mike Weaver vs Morrison...that would make for a fun one.

[purple.obi]

You bet!

[oliverfennell]

Moorer had more chance of getting up to win than Morrison.

I know Morrison did it vs Carl Williams, but Moorer was almost renowned for it.

Then again, you have Moorer getting sparked by Foreman, and even though he was past it when he fought Tua, you can't help but watch that and equate it with Tommy's left hook.

But still, I'll go with Moorer.

[purple.obi]

Yeah, the Tua fight was disappointing. I was hoping that Moorer would win that one.

[oliverfennell]

Yeah, the Tua fight was disappointing. I was hoping that Moorer would win that one.

He had the tools to do so, but Tua would only need one clean shot to win any fight.

[My2Sense]

Morrison was a little quicker and more well-rounded IMO. I would give him the edge in this.

Still, Moorer's straight left down the pike is an interesting wild card.

[Evander]

Prime ... Moorer more than likely.
Could go either way really.

[Goodnight, Irene]

Yeah, the Tua fight was disappointing. I was hoping that Moorer would win that one.

The Moorer of the early 90's would have. Byrd was too tricky for Tua, & so, too, would a younger Moorer have been. True enough, though, that Tua would only need one real good shot to end it, & Byrd was more durable than Moorer, but I think the Moorer of his mid-20's would've proven too slick for Tua. The Tua of the late 90's against the Foreman of the early 90's would've been very watchable. I have no doubt Tua would lose, but with Foreman's ever-presentable target, Tua's massive power, & Foreman's incredible chin & toughness (never off his feet, 87-97! Wow!) it would've made interesting viewing. To say nothing of Foreman's clubbing power, & what it may or may not've done to Tua.

[tennessee]

i would like to see morrison come out of a slug fest with cooper life moorer did. come on if you picked morrison you should slap yourself really really hard. wake up, even morrison would't pick himself

[Robinson]

Short inside straight shots always dropped Morrison.

Morrison loved to throw wide combinations, and load up
leaving him open to such shots.

Moorer had some of the cleanest, sharpest inside straight
shots, with power and he was a south paw. Plus the Moorer
jab was able to trouble and break up the tempo off better men.

I can see morrison dropping moorer, but I can see Moorer getting
up and winning. Pick a round and you have the KO win for
Moorer.

Morrison is not Tua.
