I pick Bruno to win, most likely by KO. But it would be a great fight, with both guys hitting the canvas before it's over.

Tommy's lack of durability makes the difference here, as Bruno was an exceptionally powerful hitter. If Tommy tries to brawl, he'd get clipped by a haymaker. I don't think Tommy could compensate by boxing because Bruno's jab would control the action from long range.

As for Morrison's punching power, he indeed could KO Frank with any single power shot. But I believe Bruno could dodge most of Tommy's bombs.

I think Tommy was the better fighter and better puncher. 60/40 fight for me.

It's probably an overused statement, but seriously, whoever connects big first.

Big Frank has a much better resume and stops Morrison mid way through. Anyone who gets blasted out by Michael Bentt ain't beating Bruno.

Bruno took dozens of flush shots of Mike Tyson. He could take Morrison's shots. Tommy was dropped by Michael Bentt, Ross Purrity and shopworn Carl Williams. When Frank connects, Tommy goes down.

Morrison would have to stand on the outside and hope to rack up points and hope that he can land the big left over and over. Would he get greedy and try to take Bruno out only to get written off by that huge Bruno right? Frank can hit

For me it's not love, it's common sense.

Bruno only lost to Bonecrusher, Witherspoon, Lennox and Tyson.

Morrison lost to Michael Bentt and drew with Ross Purrity.

Frank also had better wins, beating Oliver McCall in his pomp and Gerrie Coetzee two fights after he lost the title.

Tommy Morrison didn't beat a single contender in their prime.

I get it, I just think Bruno had a better resume. BoxRec rates him a lot higher than Morrison because of this.

Well if BoxRec says so it must be. Good argument. :roll:

Go watch some fights rather than scanning BoxRec data please.

I've seen plenty of fights.

I'll just ask you this, when in Bruno's career did he get knocked down three times in the first round by a guy who got stopped in a round by Jerry Jones?

The argument is peak v peak. Its entirely possible morrison took bennt lightly on account of bennt being terrible and morrison fighting in his hometown

Bruno has a nice win against mccall. He was alright. Morrison was a lot of hype but he could hit. Its a good dream natchup.

When did Bruno beat an all time great like Foreman, or a vicious puncher like Ruddock? Get off the Bruno bandwagon, he wasn't that great. Best win was probably over McCall. Stopped 5x's in 41 fights. Morrison stopped 3x's in 51 fights. What else would you like to compare?

How many times was Bruno blasted out in a round by Michael Bennt?
How many times was Bruno dropped by Carl Williams?
How many times did Bruno struggle with Yuri Vaulin?
How many times did Bruno go life and death with Joe Hipp?
How many times was Bruno dropped against Ross Purrity?

How many times did Morrison rock a prime Tyson?
How many rounds did Morrison take off Lennox Lewis?
