Bruno wins inside 2 rounds for me
Difficult to say, you're talking about two guys with tremendous firepower and two guys with not the greatest chin...
For me I'll take Bruno by KO in the later rounds, I think he would use his reach and jab and blast Tommy out in the later rounds. Could go either way though, Tommy could just as easily put Bruno to sleep with a left hook.
Morrison pre Rocky IV would take him out in 4 and post Rocky IV he'd be KO'yed in 4
Bruno would win IMO he had the stronger chin and an edge in the stamina department. I think he would pick Morrison apart from the outside and stop Morrison in 6 rounds. Although i wouldn't be surprised if Morrison caught Bruno with his left hook and stopped him, Bruno was very robot like in his movement, plus he wasn't that hardest guy in the world to hit either.
Morrison was in Rocky V. And he made that movie very early into his pro career; prior to any of his signature wins.Quote:

Bruno could KO MOrrison
Morrison could KO Bruno
..... but Bruno coukld box smartly when he needed to (he was outboxing Witherspoon, Smith and even Lewis until he ran out of steam)
Morrison KO's early Bruno late on, but older Bruno (the one who leart to hold when he was hurt) beats Morrion IMO
Morrison was a decent boxer when his head was right.
He went 7 with Lewis and 12 with Foreman who he beat.He also KOed Ruddock in 7 I think.
Point is when he was faced with a know hard hitter like Bruno was he could ajust his style a bit.
But if Bruno lannded in the first 3 or4 he would ave a chance but I think TM would outbox him and stop him around 7 or 8 rounds.Great match up.
They were ment to fight in Hong Kong if my memory servers me right.:confused:
Bruno KO round 1 if Bentt could do it Bruno could
Thats silly logic IMO Bentt beat Morrison by basically being badly stunned and throwing a lucky punch off the ropes out of nowhere. If Morrison had Bruno in that same situation Bruno would of been stopped. Boxing is all about rock paper scissors, Norton was demolished in 2 rounds by Foreman, but Norton gave Ali tougher fights than Foreman ever did.Quote:

Wow I never gave this fight a thought but if it ever happened IMO it would have been a great fight...Inside the distance I can promise you that.....I like to Favor Bruno because just as ICB said he had the edge in chin and Stamina but in all truth this one could end at any time one of them landed a huge shot
Bruno was going to fight Ray Mercer, that would also have been a good fight.Quote:
