    I see the Klits giving him huge problems, But if Morrison got on the inside of Wladimir some how. I see Wladimir being scared for his life..But I would pick both to beat the Duke just because the Jab and their size.
    I was just gonna say, he lands one good left hook on Wlad's chin and we'd all be laughing.

    he could probably take Wlad out. not sure about now though Wlad is getting better and doesnt make too many mistakes. Vitali would do bad things to him.

    I think Morrison could easily handle the majority of the division, but the Klitschko's would hurt him badly. Wlad would make Tommy look silly, I'm sorry but #1 the jab would be impossible for Tommy to solve #2 Tommy's chin wasn't all that great either #3 Wlad can hook too and very impressively. Tommy would be a top five contender pretty easily but there would be interesting fights for him: Chagaev, Brewster, Sultan, Arreola, Chambers, and dare I say David Haye

    I also wonder how these guys would do today (if they were in their primes of course):
    Frank Bruno
    Michael Moorer
    Donovan Ruddock
    Shannon Briggs

    And I wonder how Joe Mesi would have done had he not gotten injured

    Its sad really... If Donovan was about toady he'd be Brilliant.

    You got me thinking though... And i know it sounds nerdy... But back in the 90's, who would of won in a fight between Moorer and Ruddock

    I see Morrison as a top 5 contender but I think both Klits would beat him. He just wasn't all that dedicated, obviously. I think he just got caught up with too much partying and womanizing.

    A prime Tommy Morrison would do very well, but the problem is he would struggle against a fighter the size of Wladimir Klitschko. Remember Carl Williams who is 6'5 managed to drop Tommy Morrison a few times, and Lennox Lewis dominated Tommy Morrison. Also what those 2 fighters had in common, was that they both had very good jabs like Wladimir Klitschko.

    And people say well if he would of got on the inside, but remember Tommy Morrison's chin isn't much better than Wladimir Klitschkos. So would he be able to get inside quick enough ?

    Except for the obvious bad style match ups against, the Klitschko brothers. I would make him favorite against all the other Heavyweight's. Remember Tommy Morrison wasn't just a come forward banger, he had some boxing skills remember he gave George Foreman a boxing lesson, while constantly moving backwards.

    I'd go with that, Haye-Morrison would be interesting and so would any of the 'top' heavies bar the brothers. Too big for him.

    I give his left hook a shot against any heavy in history on his best night,he also had some good handspeed.I could see him right in the mix at the top today but do think his stamina probs would catch up.His defense was leaky and he was dropped many times,but off the top...he was never kept on the canvas?Morrison had lapses and could be outboxed but dude had a big ticker,would bank on that power no probs.I dont think he could get past Wlads stick.Give me a Morrison vs Arreola .Short,sweet and brutal.

    Although he could probably cherry pick an alphabet title, I don't see him performing well against the Klitchkos.

    Morrison would get slaughtered by either Klitschko. They'd do to him worse than what Lennox did to him

    interesting point on some of the other names mentioned. I think Morrison could have held his own but I went off him a bit when I heard some of the rascist things attributed to him (maybe they weren't true)

    I would have liked to see big Frank around these days. plenty of other plodders in the mix today so I think with his power he could have done reasonably well.

    I think Tommy would've beaten all except the 2 Klits. And he could quite possible of KOed Wlad
