I really admire both fighters. For Thomas this was just a bit too much for him at that stage of his career and obviously he didn't want what he knew was coming his way. Fair play. Tommy could really hit.
ray mercer said morrison was the hardest hitter he ever faced.. people get confused with tysons Power,, Tyson was not the hardest hittin heavyweight of his time. But he was one of the sharpest punchers in the history of boxing. Most of Tysons KO's come by hittin the oppenent where it hurts most.. Right on the muthafuckin Button
4 fighters who have fought both Tyson and Morrison all said Morrison's power was beyond anything they had ever faced before...they said his jabs alone hurt more than Tyson's hooks..that says allot! Carl Williams, Razor Ruddock, David Jaco, Steve Zouski and Lorenzo Boyd have all said Morrison hit allot Harder than Tyson...and when Tyson fought those guys that was his Prime...Tommy was just a young kid when he fought most of these guys!
When Tyson was flattening no hopers he was hailed as great, whatever Morrison did was criticized. You can only fight the opponent in front of you. the way he switched from body to head with big hooks was devastating, you can see how much the body shots hurt Thomas, forcing him to lower his hands for the head shots. He was over the hill but an experienced and once great fighter like Thomas should have had no problems containing a young less experienced fighter for 3 rounds unless he was good..
Watching this fight makes it hard to believe that Pinklon Thomas was once heavyweight champion. I hate seeing decent fighters reduced to stepping stones for rising stars, but I guess it happens to all fighters at one point or another. When Thomas was in his prime I remember that he had one of the meanest jabs in the division at the time.
@@timbohouston Really?? Pinklon Thomas just went and fought every top fighter of the time Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe. He got the crap pounded out of him! Then he fought Tommy Morrison. Tommy Morrison fought two elite fighters and they both pummeled him mercilessly that was Ray Mercer and Lennox Lewis. From that point on Tommy just fought washed up fighters. LOSER!

@@leeeng478 Hey Lee, ur a douche, Tommy burned the candle and was his own worse enemy...how many elite fighters did Tyson fight ? FU and ur ignorant view. Tommy was a beast !! 48 wins to 3 loses...what have yiu achieved ???
For all of you youngsters out there: These two guys had the world at their fingertips and both blew it. Drug abuse and unprotected sex KILLS or least DESTROYS careers and lives. What a waste.
Morrison destroyed Thomas... I dont care what people said that Thomas was washed up... Pinklon admitted later that Morrison was the strongest puncher he ever faced.
Those left hooks to the body of Thomas took all the fight out of Pinklon. Granted Pinkie was a shell of his former self, but the left hooks to the body did the trick.
Darkside D Well, not necessarily.. I think Tyson just got whipped by Douglas around this time and then soon after he ended up in the clink.. 1986 to 1989 was the unmistakable reign of Iron Mike
@@QueensNativeNYC I’d say Tyson started to slowly decline in 1989. His fight with Bruno showed a completely different fighter. If only Mike had stayed with his original team.
@@carterpewterschmidt6251 Agreed.. When the big money got into the picture things started going wrong for Tyson, Robin Givens, Don King, coke and gangster friends.. Thses things led Tyson to become emotionally unstable and subtracted from his focus in the ring..
At one time Thomas was supposed to be the next great heavyweight champion. Partying and drugging destroyed his career. Morrison was no better with extracurricular activities.
So you think that's what led to victory with Morrison VS Thomas? Personally , I think Thomas was a shot fighter , and possibly could have beat Morrison in his prime. Thomas took everything a prime Tyson hit him with , fighting almost one handed , so I want to think the outcome would have been different with both men in their perspective prime .
And before Riddick Bowe he fought Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson. Pinklon Thomas was ruined by the time he stepped in the ring with the fake Tommy Boy.
Thomas fought Tyson with a badly hurt right arm. He was actually winning with his jab before the final two rounds, when Tyson pulverized him with at least two dozen left and right power punches flush on the jaw. I have no idea how Thomas beat the count, although he was in no shape to continue.
Morrison's hair looks great. And I don't think Pinklon ruffled it much... I saw him take a staggering number of blows from Mike Tyson before Mike knocked him down. This Pinklon pales against the former one.

That’s such bollocks. Where’d you hear all this shit
BS!
Tyson fought these guys when he was a kid as well. those fighters were also younger and Morrison got them at a much later time.

Amazing how a former heavy weight champ wantes no more from Tommy after one round. That says it all. Tommy's potential at this time was incredible.

Pinklon Thomas was a Warrior. He stood against the Best.

What a waste.
He had a 30 million Dollar Contract to fight Tyson when it all went to Hell in a Hand Basket.
I remember watching this fight as a kid Thomas said he was gonna destroy the white hope haha but it didnt happen he got his shit busted lol
What yr was this?
Once that eye opened up, Thomas was beat.
Morrison hit him with everything. But he did not put him down.
He was getting ready to hurt Pinky Boy
RIP DUKE
Thomas was a damn good fighter, by this point though he was just broken from so many hard fights.
Regardless of Thomas being past it, he had nothin but praise for Morrison after bout.
morrison is the best boxer
Morrison destroyed Thomas... I dont care what people said that Thomas was washed up... Pinklon admitted later that Morrison was the strongest puncher he ever faced.

Except Morrison was never champ of anything, moron.

Lots of good fighters at that time in the division being overshadowed by Tyson.

Pinklon Thomas couldn't take Morrisons body shots . 4 months previous Thomas went 8 rounds with Riddick Bowe .
So you think that's what led to victory with Morrison VS Thomas? Personally , I think Thomas was a shot fighter , and possibly could have beat Morrison in his prime. Thomas took everything a prime Tyson hit him with , fighting almost one handed , so I want to think the outcome would have been different with both men in their perspective prime .
@@double42 pinklon woukdve killed morrison in his peak
And before Riddick Bowe he fought Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson. Pinklon Thomas was ruined by the time he stepped in the ring with the fake Tommy Boy.
@@double42 Except Morrison punched a lot harder than Tyson, as all the common opponents have stated.
@@youtubemodsaresnowflakelef7692 No, I doubt Morrison punched harder then Tyson...Tyson was a complete package , unlike Morrison who had many flaws
Thomas went down!🥊💥
Wish they had let the fight continue.
Love when cocky fighter gets crushed!
its called passing the torch . pt had his time at the top .
Thomas almost reminds me of Apollo Creed

Who would win mike tyson prime or tommy morrision prime
Would be a Great fight
You have just watched the ghost of Pinkkon Thomas..
Duke duke duke
I pissed blood just watching those body shots.
deere3321
He had the Deadliest Left Hook in the Game. Fukn Animal
Tommy : aussi migon que talentueux ! ^o^
If either had a chin they would have been good fighters but you're right once in trouble they went
Tyson hit harder than Morrison.
Morrison's hair looks great. And I don't think Pinklon ruffled it much...
I saw him take a staggering number of blows from Mike Tyson before Mike knocked him down. This Pinklon pales against the former one.
buen boxeador
Hope hes well. Tyson brutalized him.
I'm ready to get nasty
Thomas was definitely washed up and just another name on the record of Morrison who was ascending the ranks before he lost focus doing the Rocky film.
We can clearly see here that Tommy Morrison is making Pinklon Thomas`s life a misery here !
Tommy was a bum
Greta Sims why were you and Tommy lovers?
@@billthestinker Naaa, she's more of a Butterbean lover!
Tommy "the dumbest nickname ever" Morrison
The nickname "Duke" is because John Wayne was his great uncle.
Get it now?
Morrison was a girl. Look at the hair ffs.
