Morrison was able to withstand George Foreman's punches, so I think he would against Zhang. I think Morrison would outbox him too.

Morrison was the most motivated in training for Foreman because of how good Foreman was even in his 40s. He pushed himself more for that fight than any other. There is a documentary about Morrison on YouTube.

Morrison gets knocked out. He never beat a single contender in their prime.

First thought is eventual KO by Zhang. If Morrison fights the way he did vs Big George he would win a decision or late round stoppage.

I lean toward Zhang because of his height, reach, superior weight, southpaw stance, and power. Another factor here is that Tommy never took a big punch all that well.

How would it end? I don't know. Zhang could win by stoppage, or he might keep Tommy on the run for the full ten or 12 rounds. But my money's on Zhang.

I'm not ruling out that Morrison might win. You never know. But my guess is that Zhang takes it.
