They fought two different fighters, "Quick" was already on three losing fight streak when he fought Tyson, and 22 losses in Morrison fight. His last best win was against washed up Earnie Shavers, in 82'. At least in Tyson fight and before he fought with grit and decent skill. After that he was clubfighter at best.

The greatest left hook in heavyweight history! Period.

@@jshxdx2886 Tommy would have knocked Wilders head off his shoulders in the first round. Deontae Wilder was a power house, no doubt, but that was pretty much the only thing he had going for him, while he was still an active fighter; Don’t get me wrong, I certainly wouldn’t wanna piss the man off. That being said, his skill level was the equivalent of Razor Ruddock in his heyday. Morrison could easily step inside Wilders long looping windmill punches, and counter with a flurry of devastating liver shots. Causing Wilder to gasp and drop his hands. Then Tommy caves in the side of his skull with one of those savage left hooks. Wilder gets lucky if he manages to catch Morrison with one of those right hands. However, a prepared Morrison would have most likely beaten Wilder to the punch.

According to whom? Morrison dropped Tillis the first time with a hard, clean hook. Tillis not only got up, but absorbed a few more hard shots without going down before that big right uppercut-left hook combo dropped him a second time. Tillis then got up again to take more punishment. The last punch, which landed, sent him falling off balance along the ropes, but it was the ref who stopped it on the 3KD rule. Tillis didn't outright quit or fake being KO'd and the punches he took were legitimate.

The Quick Tillis that took Tyson 10 rounds (not 12) in 1986 was five years younger and in better shape though. Still, it is a credit to Morrison's speed, power, and punching accuracy that he was able to dispatch Tillis so quickly. I don't think there were too many other guys who could have done that to him in less than one round even at that point.
