I watched Morrison's first 5 pro fights in person.. met him in person.. a perfect gentleman, extremely humble, realistic, kind and soft hearted. I truly believe the best people in the world pass away early.. RIP Tommy.. you are the greatest gentleman I have ever known...your memory will live on...

My pals and I never missed a Morrison fight. Had ringside tickets to Morrison vs Lewis in Atlantic City and I took some amazing photographs of Tommy on the boardwalk after the fight. I think the most memorable moment was when Tommy caught Razor Ruddock with that left. I lost my voice lol. Fantastic memories! I haven't followed boxing much since Tommy left the sport, beside watching some Tua fights and of course Holyfield and Tyson.... but after watching Tommy's two heavyweight Sons compete it's brought excitement back to boxing for me! RIP Tommy Boy!

The Ring Magazine on 7-17-13 gave their list of the Top 10 Best Left Hookers, Morrison came in at number three. On 1-15-13 they gave a list of the 10 greatest "Above and Beyond" performances. Once again Tommy made the list at #3 with his fight against Joe Hipp. Morrison with just 30 seconds left in the 9th KO'd Hipp with a right uppercut. Tommy suffered a broken jaw, two broken hands and a cut eye before ending it...above and beyond for sure!

***** We all know left hooks were Ali's kryptonite, and Morrison had a dandy. But Tommy could be outboxed by guys like a past prime Carl Williams and Joe Hipp, talented big men but not on the level of Ali. But that left hook is sinister. I'm never counting Morrison out.

Cujo Jowels well the same would apply to ali,he never fought anyone with reach and talent like Morrison ,ali was hit and hit often,a prepared Morrison really only lost once and that was to giant 6'5 Lewis who was a better boxer than Ali.You also have to remember it was power punching in those fights which hurt him,Ali was not a power puncher,like those guys,it all plays out in defense no one open to a left hook will beat Morrison,the smart defensive fighers are the guys who stayed with Morrison,ali had never shown once his abilities to avoid left hooks or jabs.Ali would have to puklla Mike Bentt I believe to win that fight,For me it would be a smart version of foreman had they fought each other.If frazier can cause him trouble ,so would Morrison.The best Morrison imop could beat him,but would he?I don't know,i know ali wouldn't have the physical advantage he had most of the time and Morrison is no slouch in the speed department either.

***** So you're saying Tommy was more skilled than Ali? Cooper just happened to catch him right as did Frazier.. But, he always got up and won most of the time.. The only boxer who Tommy fought who was perhaps in Ali's class was Lennox.. You saw what happened in that one.. Lewis while not having the greatest chin nullified the left hook with superior boxing ability.. Which is what Ali would do as he did with Frazier in their second fight.. Granted neither were at their best in that last one in Manila..
