When Tommy Morrison Challenged Lennox Lewis 

Fucken right. The division was stacked. An era where Mike Tyson is ranked 5th. I think usyk and fury are the only ones in that era that crack the top 10

😏 HOW WELL DO YOU THINK TYSON FURY OR WILDER WOULD'VE DONE HONESTLY?

@@terrykirk6951 fury would have done better but there’s no way of knowing for sure. Wilder’s best win was a 40 year old Ortiz who was ahead on points before being knocked out, so I don’t think he would he as dominant. Probably near the bottom of the top 10 or beyond. Guys like Tommy Morrison would have cleaned him up easily. Fury’s best win was a 39 year old Klitschko and wilder so the jury is out on him too. Neither makes any effort to fight the best. Everyone who fury beat since 2018, would not have made the top 15 or even 20 in the 90s aside from wilder. Chisora? Swartz? Whyte? Wallin? Francis? None of these guys would have cracked the top 20

@@WhiteyMcCrackerson 😄 TOTALLY AGREE! THAT'S WHY I ASKED ✌️

@@terrykirk6951wilder would have been on the level of a Mercer or a Morrison - ie not in the top tier of Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, but a good challenger that makes for interesting fights. His record wouldn’t have been nearly as good. Never would have won a belt. He’d be the type of guy to knock out a Herbie Hyde, get a shot at a belt and then get wrecked by a prime Bowe. Fury would have been in the top tier. He’s a complete boxer - except for not having great power. His boxing skills are really impressive and his size would make him a nightmare matchup for most. Would lose to a prime Tyson, but then again we didn’t see a prime Tyson a lot in the 90s. In shape Bowe beats him, but out of shape Bowe may have lost to him. Lennox would have handled him easily. But he would have beaten the likes of MM, old foreman, ibiabuchi, Briggs etc.

I wish could train him Morrison would be better

Thank you Sir! It means the world.

He shows too much bias. He has a clear hatred for guys like Broner. Even though I don't like broner, you can't be a serious page and show bias

@@Lance-bg3hn 1) channel isn't one person. Guy narrating is American, channel from UK, original narrater was British... Secondly, Boxing is a sport with inherent bias, and please don't pretend as if he would be the first person to have an unpleasant take on AB, or as if they're not many who are not fond of AB.. I just watched the video they did on AB vs demarco, and I've seen the one of AB vs Maidana, idk what you're on about...

@brandonmansell no one cares where the people are from lol the opinion is just clear as day from the titles alone loll but if you're thay naive so be it . That's why the page will stay small. They might want to go back to posting black mirror videos 🤣

@@Lance-bg3hn Have you seen the numbers on their recent videos? Lmao In the world of RU-vid boxing, no where near the realm of small... cope more 💀🤡

they were all on the gear then, boxing under more scrutiny now.

Yeah it was legendary

Morrison was a bum , plenty of those around

Man that's awesome. An experience you'll never forget.

@@eabxxx123 definitely bro, I just wish I still had all the pictures from it and the autographs. Misplaced everything when I moved a few times over the years… sucks

You must've been that little big head boy sitting in front of me.

@@xxcrump3575 wtf does that even mean? F%%kin weirdo

Dude! That's awesome as hell man! 👍🏿🔥

Dude had everything.. to turn around and lose it all.. Tommy Morrison should be a cautionary tale to anyone who has a career to slow down and think about what you are doing..

⁠@@kenrickeasonI’m not caught up on that. What are the big points why Tommy declined?

Shagged his life away

Yes, he had so much potential. A lot of boxers had "hard times", even Tyson, but they got over them so much better than poor old Tommy. I would tentatively put money on Mike Tyson beating him, but I think it would be late round, and something like TKO. I do not think Iron Mike would paste him though. Tommy could even have beaten Mike, but I'm not sure.

That's what being HIV does to you

Only 3 HW champs have done that. Lennox, Marciano and a Sweedish guy whos name i cant rememeber nor find anywhere

@@dylanburston7453 you missed the great Riddick bowe

@@HNiCDuke He has a NC against Mathis Jr, so he hasnt technically eaten every opponent. Im also reluctant to call the Golata fights "wins", but hes certainly the closest

@@dylanburston7453 no technical he didnt win but he didnt lose either. Bowe would of beat Mathis even if the fight wasnt called. he knocked Mathis out but they ruled it a NC because of late hit. Bowe is still up there with Lewis in my book.

@@HNiCDuke Bowe deserved a DQ for that, just as Golata did for his low blows. Bowe had at least half a dozen ocaitions where he hit a guy when he was down. He literaly had a streak of hitting guys when they were down. Hes lucky it was a NC and not a DQ, like RJJ got

He was a loser

Couldn’t have said it better myself 🥊🤙

Tommy was selfish and evil

Lewis was savage here

It's best to not speak ill of the dead that have no way to defend themselves@@deryckcumberbatch3629

Come on? GOAT not even in the top 25 silly one You must be a youngin lol

Tell me about it I hope they just don’t disappear like the usual boxing channels 😠

@@CasoDoBronx right!!! It’s weird as hell how they just randomly disappear. S/o Hancho

Dont worry, I'm not planning on going anywhere, and I appreciate the support Sir, more coming soon!

@@BoxingAfterDark Salute 🫡

I'm from Arkansas. Ft. Smith Arkansas. There is some debate over where he was born. Was it Oklahoma or Arkansas?

🙄@@brians9182

​@@brians9182I believe it was Delaware, Oklahoma.

Truly one of the heaviest stories out there.. That ESPN doc is a masterpiece with no happy ending

🥲@@tomassenadasilva710

Thanks for the sub! And don't worry about it, it just makes me strive to get better and better!

@@BoxingAfterDark You have a great narrators voice mate. Keep up the great vids

Probably just squeezes into the top 10

He was the greatest

Who is responsible for these non knowledgeable messages

@@godislord3377 In my opinion he is . I have watched a lot of boxing . Sugar Ray Leonard is the greatest I have ever seen but Lewis would certainly be in top 5

@hammerqos he was ok..for a fighter but Mike Tyson was considered the best boxer for this generation...so I'm not a fan of boxing like i.use to be but Mike Tyson and Ali ranks top five not my opinions but facts...possibly the top ten

Ok ,first of all Tommy was born in 1969 which would have made him TEN YEARS OLD!!!! Ten year olds do not now or ever have fought in the Golden Gloves. Silver Gloves are for 10 to 15 year olds ,which Tommy never competed in at all. My question is did know him in the Junior Golden Gloves?? If so in 1979 you would have known him competing as a Pee Wee. That is for 8 to 10 year olds.

​@@eac1235How about "did you know him at all?"

Apparently each knows it all from something he read. I'm sorry, but I lived it. I have photos and newspaper photos/articles still to this day. Yeah, it was awhile ago (1979) but yes, cameras were invented and so were newspapers! 😆

👏 facts on facts…Tommy the machine Gunn lol 👏

All the fighters of color it's always of concern to the narrators what goes on with them outside of the ring.

Vastly overrated as a fighter, by people who know nothing about boxing.

He's overrated. Blokes a typical playboy yank . Image obsessed , no class or dignity

I wonder: do you realize how profound your post is? RESPECT AND HONOR.

It is by bad company written by Paul Rodgers about all the rock stars that died young like Hendrix Janis Joplin Jim Morrison John Bonham Keith moon the song could be Morrison's epitaph

@@donjohn2695 In a way, they're all just "Shooting Star", don't you know? Glad to see there are many more out there who hold respect for Classic Rock.

@@donjohn2695 Strange how people forget about Brian Jones. He was THE charter member in the 27 Club.

Glad to hear it Richard!

Yeah agreed

Respect for what, hiding the fact he had aids and put other boxers life at risk.

Probably the best left hook of all time, absolutely insane punch

@@RossKempOnYourMum01 He did have a great left hook, but the best of all time? Come on man.

@@RossKempOnYourMum01he didn’t even have the best left hook of the 90s. Tyson and RJJ were miles ahead of him.

@@SKa-tt9nm wrong

thanks for for the support! glad your enjoying the content

Please stop with that! He was very good but no Legend! If Rahmanand McCall knocked him out with one punch can you Imagine what Rocky Marciano would have done to him? Probably would have ended his career with that glass jaw of his! I can easily name 8 other heavyweights that would have ko'd him if he faced them prime for prime! Excellent fighter but barely makes too 10 if he even does!

​@@theeverseeingeye7290😂😂😂 don't be silly, Lennox never ducked anyone and beat all in a really competitive era. Legend, he would KO any heavyweight from any era. if he was American you would be calling him the greatest of all time. Ali lost fights, Tyson lost fights 😂😂

​@@paulpeirson65 Holyfield beats him

Lewis is the GOAT. I'll not argue when Foreman says Lewis is the best of all time, either!!!

Mercer was really underrated. I was a massive Lewis fan but I think he edged it when he fought Lennox. Tragic what happened to Tommy.

Tomato can. Psssh.

Glad you enjoyed! Always appreciate the support!

Morrisons life can't be deemed a failure. He won a world title, had wealth good looks and beautiful woman. I life lived to the fullest. Not a wasted life in my opinion.

Ditto

Tommy? I love the guy but nah. He barely cracks the top 5 of his era, which also happens to be the greatest era of heavyweights. His downfall was a tragedy.

​​@@gershomtan5879 Tommy had a chance to be one of the greatest boxers of all time but his growing fame and constant partying took over his dedication to boxing.. He said so himself countless of times..

Lewis would have beaten Tommy at any stage of his career. Tommy was a tough and exciting fighter but he wasn't an elite fighter.

Stop it

No he never had the skill and his level of competition was bad full of bums compared to Lennox list of wins over top 10 contenders and former champions. Are you deaf or dumb when you missed that narration

Appreciate it! More to come soon Ermi!

I agree but remember Lennox had suffered a big unexpected knockout prior & Tommy could punch so I get the match up ...Lewis wasn't just good he was awesome & a nice human being as well I'm sure he will if been saddened to hear of Tommy's passing...
