Tommy Morrison

Tommy David Morrison (January 2, 1969 – September 1, 2013) was an American professional boxer and mixed martial artist who competed from 1988 to 2009. He is best known for having a great left hook and formidable punching power along with a questionable chin. Morrison won the vacant World Boxing Organization heavyweight world title in 1993 with a unanimous decision victory over 44-year-old George Foreman. He lost the title in his second defense to Michael Bentt that same year. The other major lowlight of Morrison's boxing career was his fight with Ray Mercer in 1991 in which Morrison was knocked out after receiving 18 unanswered punches. In 1995, he won the minor International Boxing Council heavyweight world title when he defeated Donovan Ruddock by technical knockout (TKO).
