The Wednesday Knockout: Ray Mercer v. Tommy Morrison

PrintSo as to not simply paint Ray Mercer as a crazy old man this week, let's remember back when he could really fight, and Ray really could fight, even though he probably falls into the file marked "What Coulda Been?" more than he does the greats of his era.
Here's Ray demolishing Tommy Morrison, which makes this the second week in a row that Tommy is featured getting knocked out. Pure coincidence, though admittedly I'm not his biggest fan. Maybe next week we'll feature Tommy and his nasty left hook.

And wasn't it a bloody nasty left hook that Morrison had.....
The shot Morrison banged Ruddock over with was unreal. I also don’t buy this “Morrison was chinny” crap that I see sometimes. Mercer has smashed him like not many people have ever been smashed. Bentt caught him with a mental shot too, and Tommy kept getting up. I am not going to say Tommy was a great, or anything like that, but a lot of the criticism he got was unfounded in my humble opinion.
Favourite 5 boxers of all time (in no particular order)-
Ricky Hatton
Lennox Lewis
Marvin Hagler
Marco Antonio Barrera
Prince Naseem Hamed
I’m not Morrison’s biggest fan, but I don’t think he had any awful chin. He was hit with some bombs and got hurt sometimes. Shit, that happens. Lennox Lewis got knocked the hell out by Hasim Rahman. Like Tommy himself said in an interview I recall, he went down sometimes. That doesn’t mean he has a weak chin, because most of the time he didn’t.
Tommy’s “other” comments are all that really bothered me about him ever. He was a fun fighter to watch. Man could he bang.
