Tommy Morrison - The Left Hook That Terrified Everyone

2 жыл бұрын

Tommy Morrison, the late former WBO heavyweight champion who died tragically at the age of 44, had one of the greatest left hooks in boxing history. He is known for his acting career, having starred alongside Sylvester Stallone in the 1990 film Rocky V as Tommy Gunn. Morrison's hook was short, fast, and powerful, and it was responsible for a large portion of his 42 knockouts. During his heyday, his muscular physique concealed the remarkable speed and perfect precision that distinguished his hook. Stay tuned to the end of the video because we will look over Morrison’s greatest hits, which showcased his incredible punching power.

*Tommy Morrison is one of the saddest stories in boxing, and it’s sad that his life followed the downfall like his character in Rocky.* Morrison fell into the trap of toxic women, parties full of drugs and sex, and those followed him to the grave. His last wife sold his HIV meds to buy drugs, and lied to him telling him that he no longer had HIV and he deteriorated rapidly until his death.

His fights against Thomas, Odum, Tillis, Jaco, and Williams would also have been good to highlight. If only Morrison could have been more consistent with his training habits and a better preparation routine the tools were there to be among the very top tier for a while. According to his trainer the only time that Tommy trained to 100 percent focus was against Foreman, and that's because he was petrified of him.

@@TheStraightestWhitest Lol Tyson didn’t duck Foreman or any man “I take all comers.” An example, Tyson had nothing to gain (and everything to lose) fighting Razor Ruddock yet he fought him twice and beat him twice just to show he was the greatest. Foreman was no match for Tyson, Foreman was practically a stationary target. Don’t know why you’re convinced Morrison would land on Tyson when Tyson’s greatest weapon was his “elusiveness.” Don’t know why you say Tyson had a weak chin because that’s not true at all. He stayed on his feet taking a pounding from Douglas in Tokyo due to his personal problems and with only one eye still knocked Douglas out but the ref slow counted. Douglas recovered and won, but Douglas was nothing special and Tyson would have demolished him if he was mentally focused at the time. Fighting is mostly mental after all. And even after Douglas floored Tyson with a flurry of shots (not a single shot) Tyson still looked for his mouthguard and stood up. In fact Tyson was never put to sleep in his whole career. Only at his lowest points, whether from personal crisis or getting older and losing passion did he ever get dropped but he was never out cold and that is testament to his chin. He also took a hammering from Holyfield in the first fight and again no clean KO. Marciano is said to have had one of the greatest chins in boxing history but he never got hit by the power of Tyson and if he had I’m sure it would result in a KO sleep. Tyson was being hit by huge fighters and ate it up. Morrison was never on Tyson’s level and the only time Morrison could have won a victory on Tyson would be in a moment of mental/personal crisis for Tyson like in the Douglas fight. IMO Morrison was just a sort of white-version copycat of Tyson, a great white hope and although he had a punch on him and won some fights he was not the same stock as Tyson. Tyson was always obsessed with perfecting his techniques and mastered boxing. Morrison would have better made a good sparring partner for Tyson to practise with.

Too old Foreman

How the hell could Foreman take those punches and not go down???????Just listen to them!

@arcadeslum5882 Жыл бұрын

Foreman was a big motherfucker. Its a different game when you got that weight behind you. Even his damn head was huge at that point.

@maxxamillion792 Жыл бұрын

Because Foreman had one of the best chins in the history of boxing.

Caramba esse cara Tommy Morrison era muito fera, e lembra o estilo de luta do Mike Tyson!

Some awesome power in his punches!

It's really shocking that any of us guys made it out of their 20's. Tommy was great I doubt many of us could have handled all the highs and lows he went through. Really just another tragic story of a boxer's life.

That Razor Ruddock fight was an early stoppage but Tommy was winning and probably would have won anyway but you never know.

I was shocked when he beat foreman. I did not think he had the discipline to tailor a style to beat foreman. A younger foreman would have knocked him out, but i did not think tommy had it in him to fight differently than normal and win. And he got hit with some good shots, and i did not think he had much of a chin till then.

i always felt he would of been the best heavyweight maybe ever if he didnt let his demons destroy him

@TokenaiNamae Жыл бұрын

I like how he changed his style for the fight with George Foreman. He may not have been the most disciplined but that itself shows that he has the respect to not destroy him outright.

@rrace002 Жыл бұрын

Pretty astounding that he lost only 3 fights out of 52. A better record than mike tyson …. But you never hear about him

Once again, another potential 'all-time great" destroyed due to a lack of discipline away from the ring. Terribly sad. Tommy was a great fighter.

@sasa1982uk 2 жыл бұрын

Razor Ruddock..that was the only top fighter thar went down to the left hook. Tua took out 4 title holders with his left hook, and gets no love.

I was born and raised in Jay Oklahoma where Tommy was from. He would take time out to go the local boys ranch and mentor troubled kid’s there. He had his struggles but was a great guy.
