Green had the height and reach and a rock solid chin. The rest advantages speed,power,boxing ability goes to Morrison.
Morrison wasn't afraid to mix it up and would slip inside Greens reach to land his punches while Green would clinch when he had to,flurry when he could but lose a ud to Morrison.
Mitch Green vs Tommy Morrison 12 WBO Heavyweight Title
Re: Mitch Green vs Tommy Morrison 12 WBO Heavyweight Title
If we're talking about Morrison at his best, I'll guess he beats Mitch "Blood" Green. Tommy probably gets floored once or twice before winning. It could go the full route, with Morrison winning on points, or Tommy could get a mid-to-late round stoppage.
But if Morrison's not at his best, he could be in big trouble, and get stopped.
Something that makes this fight hard to call is Morrison's lack of durability. So, even if Tommy fights his best, he could still get bombed out because of his unreliable chin.
Blood Green is really a mystery, as a fighter. That's because he faded away from boxing after losing to Tyson in 1986. Blood never had a prime. At least not a prime in which the world got to see him make the most of his talents while still young, in a series of fights against other world class heavyweights.
When Blood came back in the 1990s, he was obviously way over the hill. Not a fraction of the fighter he had once been.

tommy wins by decision. mitch would be tricky but negative
Re: Mitch Green vs Tommy Morrison 12 WBO Heavyweight Title
Morrison would win in a similar fashion to how Tyson did.
Re: Mitch Green vs Tommy Morrison 12 WBO Heavyweight Title
At best, the Duke would do the similar tactic against Foreman, but more convincingly by jabbing and landing big right hands and left hooks on Big Blood to take a decision.
Re: Mitch Green vs Tommy Morrison 12 WBO Heavyweight Title
Morrison by wide decision, because Mitch never developed. But Mitch was faster than Tommy, definitely.
