    He would’ve beat Tyson Fury, Wilder…and destroyed Gerry Cooney

    Fury beats up and stops Morrison. Fury would have to be cautious of the hook though.

    Tommy is 50-50 with Wilder. Morrison had the much better technique, but Wilder has the range. Not sure who lands big first.

    I think pre-Holmes Cooney would blast Morrison, but Tommy is obviously live in that one.

    Agreed. Tommy has a chance but i wouldn't make him a favorite over any of the three.

    Apart from old men Foreman and Ruddock, Morrison didn't beat anybody, and even the Ruddock win was debatable. His next best victim is probably Joe Hipp, who gave him a struggle.

    Morrison looked good, but wasn't

    You can't say "apart from" old Foreman, when Wilder isn't even a lock over an old Foreman.

    Wilder however is much more dynamic than those versions of Foreman and Ruddock. How would he do himself against them bears no meaning.

    The fact is though that however lousy Wilder's record is (and it really is), it is still better than Morrison's

    Tyson vs. Morrison. Who was the harder puncher?

    Tyson and its not up for debate. He stopped far more proven chins than Tommy did.

    For instance, Tommy went life and death with Carl Williams, and IIRC stopped him prematurely while still on his feet.

    Williams was gone with one Tyson left hook.

    Tommy Morrison was a good decant and hard-hitting fighter

    I actually agree. I just saw this pole on twitter and was wondering if anyone here thought differently
