Morrison was only knocked out 3 times in 50 professional fights. I would hardly call that lacking the in chin department.

You're being sarcastic, right? It's generally acknowledged that Morrison had a weak chin. I'm assuming you agree. Morrison went down twice against Carl Williams, three times against Michael Bentt, twice against Ross Purrity, at least once by Razor Rudduck, and I've forgotten how many times against Lennox Lewis (and against Ray Mercer, it was the punches against the ropes that kept him UP). That's at least ten knockdowns in those 50 fights, without even counting the Mercer fight, suddenly a much more damning number.
By the way, what was so compelling about that post that you had to respond to it almost two months after the fact?

Oh, some people like to stew you know, just to get the flavour through...
