    Does McCall just walk through Tommy's bombs like Mercer and get the KO, or does he get out-boxed like Foreman

    McCall stops him at some point.

    Morrison is the way better fighter. He might get hurt but he'd win the rounds.

    Similar sort of to Mercer, Morrison has a good start but can’t finish the iron-chinned McCall, and gets stopped later.

    If Frank Bruno can beat McCall, wouldn't Morrison?

    I think a potential key difference between Mercer and McCall is that Mercer put a lot of pressure on Tommy even as he was being outboxed, whereas McCall had a tendency to lay back and try to lure an opponent into a big right hand. The scenario of McCall getting a late, come-from-behind stoppage is still a viable one, but I think Morrison would have a better shot of staying the course and boxing his way to a decision than he did against Mercer.
