At heavyweight in their prime in the battle of the left hooks, Morrison's strategy was to move side to side to outbox Tua with his jabs and nailing him with his left hook to settle for a decision in 15 rounds despite unable to knock him out because of Tua's iron chin. If Tua caught the Duke with his own left hook either early or later rounds, Morrison would be in trouble and Tua would knock him out by 8 rounds. What do you guys think?

Morrison by decision most likely. Tommy was a better boxer, than Tua. Although Tua had real chances of coming back with a KO win, as he was very hard-hitting and Morrison had a shaky chin. However, Morrison could KO Tua too. Despite being iron-chinned, Tua was KOed cold in the amateurs. Also Rahman dropped him pretty hard after the final bell of their second fight.

I'm pretty sure Tua would swarm Tommy and take him out early. Morrison was powerful, but Tua had one of the best chins in HW history and would walk through Tommy's bombs and take out the weak chinned Morrison.

You wouldn't be asking the question if you saw Tua fight Ibeabuchi. The only way Morrison could possibly win is by decision and he wasn't a good boxer by any means. So it's Tua all the way. Btw what's with these hypothetical Morrison threads?
