Everything I've ever read about HIV testing states that false-positive do happen plenty of times, so if you test positive, you have get tested again right away to make sure the first one was right.
I mean, if I ever tested positive, I think I'd have about 10 follow-up tests before I accepted the fact I was positive.
DID THEY RUN A TEST ON HIS CHIN? ???
If this is true
Just goes to show his smaller frame is down to his admitted steroid use
He could probably get down to cruiser and should, his older chin aint gonna like those bigger punches now
:coolclick: back. Im interested to see if he has anything leftQuote:

If I tested pos for anything like that id want another 50 tests..didnt the basketball player magic johnson get rid of his hiv also? maybe if you have enough cash you can get a cure, or drugs that will at least keep the virus from showing up on tests. I hope he has a genuine all clear but I find it a bit hard the swallow personally :-\

By Mark Vester
The return of former WBO heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison has postponed, but not because of his recent blood test. It was reported in The Arizona Republic, that Morrison has suffered a hand injury that will prevent him from fighting on January 19 in a four-round bout on the undercard of a Showtime televised card from Phoenix, Arizona.
John Montano, head of the Arizona State Boxing Commission, witnessed Morrison take a blood test at a local Phoenix lab, and obtained the official results that showed Morrison testing negative for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Morrison injured his left hand while training on Saturday at Michael Munoz's gym in north Phoenix. A doctor took a look at his hand and would not allow him to fight.
Morrison, 38-years-old, will still work towards obtaining a boxing license in Arizona in order to move forward with his return.
He tested positive for HIV more than a decade ago in Las Vegas, which ended his boxing career. Morrison has maintained for the last few years that he was given a false-positive in Las Vegas. Morrison has tested negative for the virus on 4 occasions since December.
I wouldn't climb in the ring with him. Even if I were a legitimate threat, which I am not.
You can't unring a bell. He has HIV even if he doesn't.

BUT!! he should be very careful now if hes fooling around sexually...he doesn't want to get AIDS....again.
I thought that he had been retested several times since then and they all had come back negative. I know for years he has claimed to not have the virus or anything.Quote:

I'm still a little suspicious, But he took three HIV test in Dec 06 and one while being monitored by the athletics commission that came back negative. I just hope him the best.

That did screw him over. He and Don King were in HUGE negotiations to fight Tyson and stuff once Tyson got out of Jail. I think the contract was rumored to be worth about $45 million (for 3-4 fights, cant remember exactly). I heard the check was all but cashed and then he failed his HIV test.
I find it hard to believe that he wasnt tested a lot. If he didnt have HIV wouldnt it have been known by now? Maybe this is a false-negative test. Something fishy about this!
I guess he figured it was true and he got depressed and got into a lot of trouble but then somehow straighten up.
On the plus side the Heavyweight division is so average right now that Tommy could make some noise, even at his age and with the ring rust.
Hell he could prolly grab a title at this point.Quote:

Don't see it happening.
Even so, still I dont see anybody who would want to fight a guy with a history of AIDS like Morrison.. Blood baby not the blood
The HW division has never been weaker... talent is thin,, most of today’s HW are green . they don't know what a combination punch is, much less throw one.. I see Morrison at 37 being a viable threat . I have heard that he has stayed active in the gym through the last few years. we shall see? even if he is rusty it wont show up that much against the back drop of todays HW's . Just my opinionQuote:

That would be cool if he fought Mesi or even Roman Greenburg...Rahman would be a good fight as well.
There are a few things I must address though
#1 Tommy is like 210 right now, he's tiny
#2 Why the fuck didn't he have all these tests run after he was first diagnosed with HIV
#3 His ex-wife or girlfriend or whatever says she got HIV from Tommy....if he's tested negative then how the fuck does she explain that???
I figure he could get a fight vs Ray Mercer pretty easy
OH or Evander Holyfield!!!!
Or Henry Akinwande ::**
Yeah, and the Earth is flat!
If he is serious he should go at cruiser
