Dude...this isn't even a matchup. You know Morrison would blather Schultz.

Both men fought Foreman. Based on those performances, there was no doubt Morrison beat Foreman & Schulz was clearly robbed. Morrison fought a slightly younger version of Foreman.

I'm not sure if they have other opponents in common. Schulz was once again robbed by Frans Botha. His fight with Michael Moorer was very competitive and close, but Schulz was fine with the decision loss.

Morrison beat Ruddock, Hipp, Thomas, Halstead, Williams.... Both he and Schulz were virtually identical in size and reach.... But Morrison was so "hot & cold" in his performances.... He'd do something great only to get blasted away himself.

Schulz could take punches and fire back. He had a boxing mind. But his "peak" was short, whereas Morrison seemed to never quite reach a peak, or he had quite a few peak moments.

It's a 50/50 fight in my view. If I were a betting man, I'd probably lean towards Schulz. But Morrison, when he was serious and level headed, could get the win. But he is only going to get it by knockout, not a decision. Morrison never really had the conditioning to fight over the distance.

Morrison by KO. Schulz was solid, but nothing special at all, a robotic and limited fighter.

you know Tommy Morrison was originally scheduled to fight Frans Botha for the belt.

I've never heard of it, but that's probably wrong, cause Morrison lost to Lewis two months earlier before Botha's title fight.
