Looking at The Rings now out of date top 10 HW of today,I think Morrison would stand a great chance against any of them apart from Sam Peters who might be to strong for the Duke.
1-Klitschko
2-Rahman
3-Toney
4-Liakhovich
5-Brewster
6-Ruiz
7-Byrd
8-Brock
9-Peter
10-Valuev
What a motly crew. :(
The best today: Klitschko, Valuev, Peter, Brewster, Liakovich. A prime Tommy Moorison would stand a very good chance against James Toney, but would have to knock him out to win.

that's my point, I mean Toney is so hard to KO. I don't remember him being KO in a bout though.
Re: Would a prime Tommy Morrison be champion if he was boxing now?
I think Tommy Morrison would have knocked out Toney, But thats just my opinion. Toney likes to lean to his right alot, And that would invite a Morrison left hook.... Peter will knock out Toney in Sept. Long live the Duke!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Would a prime Tommy Morrison be champion if he was boxing now?
The earlier version of Morrison before he started thinking he was Hollywood Tommy Was as dangerous as they come for the first 6rds.....He would have more trouble with the boxers of todays divisionlike Brock or Byrd...I think anyone else he could hang there with for the first half of the fight no problem until he ran out of gas like the mercer fight...
Re: Would a prime Tommy Morrison be champion if he was boxing now?
I say no... heavywieghts are vastly underrated right now.

aside from Wlad Tommy would be the most dominant HW today if that was the case. He had tremendous skills and only lost them to his moviestar lifestyle.
1 left hook off Morrison and Wlad would be in clowd coo coo land.
I like a prime Morrison's chance against the Ruiz's and the Maskive's ,and Rahman's . but Sam Peter would "Ray Mercer him " if you will. as would David Tua,
Re: Would a prime Tommy Morrison be champion if he was boxing now?
yea i agree i think tua would catch tommy eventually trap him in corner like ray did and unload
Re: Would a prime Tommy Morrison be champion if he was boxing now?
He fought Lennox in his prime and got his ass kicked.
Re: Would a prime Tommy Morrison be champion if he was boxing now?
It takes alot more than a left hook to be under rated...
Re: Would a prime Tommy Morrison be champion if he was boxing now?
i never see lewis fight with tommy did he even win a round ??
Re: Would a prime Tommy Morrison be champion if he was boxing now?
If a boxer can defend a left hook, they can take Morrison. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy watching his fights as he took out many of the lower ranked boxers and it fun to watch, but who did he ever beat? I don't count Razor Rudduck, because he went the distance with the most over rated boxer in heavy weight history (Mike Tyson.)
