Incredible fighter, especially fast for a heavy weight

[@smoothALOE]

When he missed with that first left hook, you could hear the crowd oohing and awwing almost as much as if he had landed it. That was scary speed and strength.

[@Matt-rq9gh]

He deserves to be remembered he was a great fighter had all the great qualities of a champion, he was like the white Mike Tyson solid and tough, speed and power and could take a good shot aswell

We all know Tommy was known for his great left hook, but he was also an exceptional body puncher.

[@gwmba1989]

Morrison was such a heavy handed fighter. His left hook was probably one of the hardest in heavyweight boxing history. He had a great career too, defeating the likes of George Foreman and Razor Ruddock and even taking the great Lennox Lewis six rounds before the fight was stopped by the referee. He was undoubtedly one of the most exciting heavyweights of the late 1980s and early to mid 1990s before his career stalled and basically ended when he was diagnosed with HIV. I hope he is resting in peace now. 🥊

Wow, I haven’t seen this one before. That might be the smallest I’ve ever seen The Duke. 209? Sheesh! I’m used to seeing him at like 225 or 230, haha!

"FEAR AND FIRE, FEAR AND FIRE, FEAR AND FIRE, FEAR AND FIRE! See Tommy, I'm like an angel on your shoulders, and I ain't gonna let anything to happen to you. The only difference between you and him is that the fear controls him, whereas you control the fear. When you see an opening, EXPLODE! Remember, I'm like an angel on your shoulders, Tommy!"

[@otisdriftwood8469]

His ribs are caved in. He ain't gonna shit right for a week.

[@cliftonjarvis8010]

Robinson was short with a couple of loaded up rights hands.

A real quality Fighter The Carney Roberts Sorry folk's This is called record padding Help Tommy zero His skills to even clinch When 🤕 None His corner Cashing the cow Not creating there fighter skills Once they gave him 1 percentage of Men who could fight back. Record padding Over 30 wins on just about any fighter Tommy Was unbelievable We can name the fights He stepped up and had real fighter. George was very washed This mentality Goes back to tough man competition. Not professional boxing Every fight his chin is exposed He had no skills to recover and fight back Would stand and fight Not yearnings defense To hold and recover They cashed him day one On power Brain's Win fights Power awesome When they all turned on him His power Was gone Steroids Abuser Chemicals contagious contaminated Instead of respecting and teaching there fighter skills With over 200 amateur fights Unbelievable sin's for Tommy A cashed out 🐮🐄 When he was very young Should of had daily consoles No booze No drugs No roids Accountability And self pride As a professional build He would still possibly Be alive And helping his two boy's Reaction After each failures There we're hundred's of them Before he finally Lost the fight 4 Life 🧬
