Duke, God bless ya, I like how you refer to Morrison as "Former World Heavyweight champion", a little wishful thinking there huh? He was WBO champ, but never THE champ. I liked Morrison, he had power, and good combinations. I wish him the best in his comeback, I really hope he makes it back to the top, and goes far.
And No Contest, Foreman did not get his ass kicked hard, Morrison fought very cautiously, practically turning his back and running from George in some parts of the fight. He played it safe, hit George with some good shots, and won the decision.
Well..FUCK YOU then bitch. I try to kindly point out that Morrison was only the WBO champ and ya insult my manhood. Need I bring up what happened to Morrison in the Lewis fight?
Re: Tommy Morrison to face Dale Ortiz April 27
Geeeh... I'm a big fan of his earlier work but I think he should call it a career...
Re: Tommy Morrison to face Dale Ortiz April 27
I aint tryin to break the balls of either Duke...but I just can't see Morrison pulling out any stops here.
He, from what I heard, was having some SERIOUS issues in his comeback fight.
I think that he's been out of it for waaaaaaaaaay to long to be legit on the comeback trail. Also...in now way shape or form do I support the fact that he's been let back into the ring with his condition...even though it's supposedly gone or in remission or whatever the fwock they keep preaching.

Who cares? He has a glass chin and shouldn't be sanctioned to fight in any state.

The immortal Ortiz is another obese fighter who should not be allowed to do battel with a guy who has 50 fights under his belt. If Morrison connects with a sharp left hook, he could do some serious damage to this poor creature.
Re: Tommy Morrison to face Dale Ortiz April 27
I think the reason he's not making a big stink, was because he was on drugs at the time..and got jailed etc...He claimed the drugs can make you show a false positive...who knows what he was on..looks like speed from his face..coke doesnt do that, with the pox marks and all.

Yeah, I've been keeping abreast of that news. I just find it a bit suspect that you test positive for H.I.V. and miraculously it disappears? Sounds a bit suspect to me:

I'd like to know what type of a test was administered and by whom.
Re: Tommy Morrison to face Dale Ortiz April 27

No your thinking of Alex Stewart, Foreman was beating the hell of Stewart when Stewart mounted a gallant comeback and swolled up big George's face like a basketball.
it was ole Stewart!!!!! I was thinking it was a journeyman fighter that did it....Thought that fight was really close...like in Alex won...
