Morrison never achieved the same level of greatness like many heavyweights of that era. Despite good handspeed and hard hitting, his weak chin caused him matches, too many matches that would have elevate his career. But he managed to avoid Foreman's powerful hooks to his jaw though... And this Ruddock here is extremely faded. Give Ruddock some credits, he was told that his career is over because of respiratory problems yet he become of the most avoided contenders of the era.....
@expressivechild I wouldn't say that Morrison "avoided" Foreman's punches completly. Foreman did get his licks in against Morrison and Morrison to his credit was able to absorb them. Morrison was more defensively sound in that fight than in most of his others, but Foreman did manage to get some solid blows in, and remember, Foreman hit so hard that he could knock guys out with glancing blows.
@xBMF9000x - Well, Foreman managed to land some good shots but not his best punches. Morrison's chin can't take his punches. Like the match with Mercer, he was winning the fight with the scorecards obviously on his side. But the hard hitting but unskilled Mercer caught him in the corner and an flurry of unanswered 10+ punches destroyed him. Got to agree though, Foreman's has such freakish power than even his seemingly careless punches can really hurt.. Moorer sure knows that!
@expressivechild right, and if you look, it shows some replays where Foreman lands shots flush on Morrison's chin and he survived them so I really don't think that it's fair to say that Morrison's chin was really in question. The beating that he took from Mercer would have KO'd anyone from any era, and I wouldn't necesarilly say that Mercer was unskilled, he was just a slow starter like Joe Frazier. When he would get going, he was damn near unstoppable.
@xBMF9000x - Morrison, if you look back at his fights you'd see that it was his chin that caused him trouble after all. Mercer landed one or two good shots allowing him to set up the finisher. If he had a good chin he would not wobble because of one or two punches. He would stand intact and defend himself instead. Mercer was never a 'skilled' fighter. Hard hitting with an iron chin. He is only dangerous when he get to set up his opponent. Great fighter or not, a chin is natural.
@Punishment683 - Excuse me? Hahahahahaaaaa..... Yeah, sure. Try telling that to boxing analysts and experienced boxing fans. Morrison has a good chin? Spread the word! Morrison has a good chin. Hahaha!
i never really heard of tommy morrison b4 until watching vids on youtube, he reminds me of the greatest doesnt dance like a butterfly but DAM he stings like a bee great hand speed!
Yeah, he was doing pretty good against Ray Mercer in another fight, until he ran out of gas and couldn't keep his hands up; Mercer then finished him off.
2. Tyson knocked Ruddock down like 3 times in their 1st fight and was going for 4 when the fight was stopped. Knocked down once by Tommy and given 2 standing 8 counts.
3. The only tough "dude" Tommy ever fought and beat was a 40+ yr old George Foreman.
4. Tommy beat guys that Tyson went the distance with because they were way past their prime.
5. Only boxer that ever truely Ko'D Ruddock is Lewis.
6. Morrison admitted to taking steroids, was cheating anyway.
Morrison chin was not his problem,fighting tence was his problem,he got tired easily because of it.That and the fact he couldent keep his cock in his pant,the pussy was his downfall.
Absolutely right. It's sad to think what he could have achieved if he chasing opponents in the ring and not women in the hotels. He was great when he wanted to be.
amen man, that guy had a slew of talent, size, and power. I remember watching a video of him during training explaining that punch he designed and tried to showcase it in his fights way to much. Either way he stated in interviews that he was never the same after the Tyson fights.
@danny73ca Tyson of 87-88 period finishes morrison in 2.Not even close.IN fact,any fighter who doesnt hold and head rush like holyfield did or run like Tucker or ali would have,loses to tyson 87-88 in less then 5.Any fighter.
he was short compared to Lennox who is about 6 feet 5 inches tall, but morrison is around 6 feet 2 inches himself. I wouldn't necessarily call him a small man, though, he is a little smaller than today's average heavyweight.
Morrison was a medium to large heavyweight. The only other ones that were larger around that time were Lewis, Foreman, and Bowe. Tyson was a small heavyweight as was Holyfield.
tyson was not a small heavyweight you idiot - he was huge and weighed 15st plus for a man on a 5ft 9.5 true height - he was enormous and packed with muscles - are you blind?
You are a fucking moron son. I guess you just can't off that 80s tyson cock sucking train. Tyson got owned by Holyfield and Lewis because he was small you dipshit. His whole style was centered around the fact that he was small otherwise he would have worked off the jab. Stop sucking Tyson's cock, it is blocking your line of sight my friend.
