Tommy Morrison

[imp]

Why did he never accept and listen to magic Johnson as he would have probably still been alive and very rich right now.

His story has always interested me because no matter how many times he said he never had HIV I somehow believed him because he never admitted it.

When his mother said he had full blown aids that really brought it home.

He had a great left hook and managed to be the heavyweight champion of the world..

How do you remember tommy Morrison?

[Otley]

remember him being a HIV victim

was a hype job who fagged out when the going got tough

Tommy Morrison was never 'the' heavyweight champ, but he was one of 4 for a while there

[Dark Lord Al]

I remember him as the lineal HW Champion of the World with a steel chin , who was never a hype job , and was a close relation of John Wayne.

Once the smoke cleared and the attention dissipated after Magic's announcement, a lot of athletes went back to their mongering ways and unprotected. Why do you think so many of them have kids by multiple women?

Tommy was just unlucky and got into some tainted meat.

Tommy started as a hype job, but he did not stay "hype job". He was legit.

The HIV stuff is a mistery, if I were him I would also never admit I have one ) What for?
He fought for his life, started believing in Christ, but something did not work out.

He was a bit of a dick when he first came up but grew to like him. He was exciting. He got sucked into the hype up and push job after the movie, Mr. Rowdy boy 'Murica, with top speed and power and equally fun defensive lapses. Loved his fights with Hipp, Ray, Williams, Puritty and Ruddock. That was raw courage instinct. Thought he was smart with George, boxed well. In hindsight and rewatch Mercer just took him to school.

Spot on assessment.

Morrison became a very good fighter and it was a shame his career ended the way it did. I've never quite managed to understand what happened to his mind. If you have a deadly virus, then you might as well accept it and get treated rather than slowly kill yourself with denial.
