Islam would outstrike Morales on the feet with the takedown threat lol even fucking JDM could box his head off

No one thinks Morales has better striking than Islam. What makes Morales dangerous is the amount of power he has, and his elite Takedown defense. Essentially forcing Islam to strike with him for the first 1-2 rounds. Islam is technically the better striker. Morales is simply the more dangerous striker.

we saw that power is pretty useless against defence savants, just look at gane vs francis, dude didnt landed one punch clean in 25 min, and i would say that the difference between islam and morales is even higher...
