Feel sorry about the whole thing really. Here's the Great White Hope if there ever were one, and in his prime he gets cut down ....... then he says it was a false diagnosis, then he tries a comeback, then he dies. Tragic series of weird misunderstandings.
I never liked him that much and when he beat Foreman I liked him even less and loved seeing him KO Ruddock here and also get railed here: but the whole thing is sad, what a hard-luck Oklahoman, like something out of a John Wayne movie really. What a life.

The biggest tragedy is that he could have had better quality of life and for longer if he hadn't been in denail about his illness.
AIDs isn't the outright death sentence that it once was, HIV isn't yet curable but AIDs is so much more treatable and managable nowdays.
I am sorry for your loss. I really liked Tommy, he was a terrific fighter and what a left hook. I had no idea he was so ill and his death came as a shock.Quote:

bet you got all his KOs on that video. nice work. he was explosive and deadly.
I feel sad for his family, his mum was probably on top of the world seeing her son in the movies and then heavyweight champion of the world
then it all becomes a nightmare
I bet she'd go back and swap it all for a normal life with her son
When was the last time you saw him?Quote:

I called countless times only to get his wife who was also keeping Morrison's kids from seeing him........So, There ya go. RIP Tommy!
