Re: Heavyweight Tournament
Shavers KO2 Tubbs
Tubbs the better boxer, but Shavers' power is game changing. Tubbs wins the first, Shavers tags him in the second and Tubbs can't recover.
Snipes UD12 Tua
The best version of Tua has a good puncher's chance, but Snipes most likely outboxes him for a clear win on points.
Moorer TKO8 Briggs
A young, prime Briggs would have a good puncher's chance, but Moorer is the better boxer and likely stops him in the mid to late rounds. If it goes the distance, Moorers wins a clear decision.
Fury TKO10 Morrison
The Brit needs to box smartly or Morrison would turn his lights out, little question. I like him to do it, but Tommy is a very live underdog.

But it would need a similar type performance to his last so I see it being a decision, not the KO predicted so far

Re: Heavyweight Tournament
Shavers beats Tubbs via KO.
Tua beats Snipes via points. Just got a feeling this would be boring fight. Even though Tua was a great KO artist he could box or go into survival mode if threatened.
Moorer KOS Briggs. If its a prime Moorer mentally e.g he's switched on. Another boring fight which Moorer controls with the jab. Late on I reckon he'd catch him with a decent left and knock him out.
Fury beats Morrison in a awful fight via points. He'd probably box mostly southpaw and paw it out. Loved Morrison but if plan A didn't work there was rarely a plan B.
Shavers-Tua This would be a great fight. Two great hitters. Got a feeling Shavers bigger puncher of the two. Savage brutal fight that Shavers wins in a 3rd round KO (never thought of this as a fantasy fight before, got my juices flowing. These styles gel)
Moorer- Fury again this is a prime Moorer who was so inconsistent. This would be a ugly tactical affair with either engaging. Moorers left hand work is more active than Furys right hand. Moorer wins a close fight. Probably by about 116-112.
Moorer-Shavers final. One of two options either Moorer jabs his way to points or shavers does a foreman on Moorer. For me a Shavers KO mid rounds most likely. As said before if Moorer gets in a groove he switches off. Shavers has the explosiveness to exploit and force a referree stoppage.

Re: Heavyweight Tournament
Seen this one late in the day 
Not sure what to say...other than Morrison v Fury is a great historic dream-match and would have been utterly fascinating.
Both more than a wee bit crazy, both talented but in different ways and there's always the good-ish chance that Morrison's speed, pure aggression and undoubted hitting power (especially in the first 4-6 rounds) could really ruffle Fury's feathers.
Just love the fight really and maybe Morrison could have goaded Tyson into a fight and out-bombed him?
The pre-fight pressers would have been treat as well.

Re: Heavyweight Tournament
If you had this tournament 5 times, you may have 5 different winners. Good, but flawed fighters, many were inconsistent. Moorer would be the favorite against most of them, but with that chin he probably isn't going to win three straight.
