That's the way it is, not the way it ends
RIP. One of the most exciting HWs and one of the best HW left hooks in boxing history. Very sad ending to such a crazy life.
Bigger man George, bigger punch!

That's why I said apparently, On august 26, ESPN stated that he was at death's doorstep, things which I've also read in June-July but I too will wait for an official statement which should come (the death being true or not) within the day as it would have happened yesterday.

Lets hope not.
Well... true or not, they already put it on Wikipedia.
Tommy Morrison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yup but its the same link @Freedom posted. Google has tons of links. Part of me feels bad for him and yet part of me feels he made his own bed. Its one thing to live on the edge a bit but his lifestyle was over the top.
Just seen the news then, sad times for the old champ. May he RIP!! thought he was great in Rocky 5 too!
Kwanajah pimatizeesee, Tommy The Duke Morrison. Kawin pimatizeesee.
Migwetch for the memories.
One of the most entertaining fighters in an era of many outstanding Heavyweight fighters.
Your many struggles since Feb 1996 are finally over.
The struggle for survival is over for you now as you continue your journey into the Spirit-World.
KisheManitou bless you.
Rest in Peace...
Good highlight here:

Good to see you are still around, all be it in a sad situation.
I always use to joke with Brad about Morrison, but I knew he was a very good operator.
And nearly 20 years on from the bulk of his career, his resume looks even better than it did at the time.
He did what was needed against Tillis, Thomas and Vaulin. And although he lost the Mercer fight, he was lively for a few rounds and Mercer turned out to be pretty good.
Morrison rebounded strongly; the fight with Hipp showed his heart, and he gutted it out against The Truth Williams too; another win that looks better now than it did then.
Then came the finest victory of his career, the Foreman fight. Morrison showed he could box, and dominated Foreman. Neither unbeaten Holyfield or Moorer (pre round 10) looked as good against George.
The Bentt fight was one of them things that can happen at Heavyweight, and although Morrison struggled for motivation, the victory over Ruddock is still pretty impressive.
Most felt Lewis put in at the time a career best performance to beat Morrison so well in their fight in 95.
The struggles Morrison then had were so sad; it seems such a cruel illness to ruin a man in the prime of his life...
"Boxing is like jazz. The better it is, the less people appreciate it."
George Foreman
One of the best left hooks in the history of the sport...
He literally knocked Ruddock off his feet in the 6th round. Went airborne.
So sad really talented fighter,great in Rocky 5 as well.Rest in peace champ.
