    Crazy? He was calling out Lennox Lewis at that time too and saying he'd knock him out. He was super pissed about the purses heavyweights got compared with him. He was bringing his gun to London to shoot Benn and Eubank. Great stuff.

    Yes that was the Johnathan Ross show eher he nearly made Eubanks cry and upset. Nigel Benn would have loved to have a tear up even if he would have lost.

    No it wasn't, it was from the book Dark Trade that you said you read. You're like a goldfish.

    I read a lot of books. You remember that quote from the book but I can remember he made Eubanks nearly cry on the show.

    Tommy morrison was a tough american heavyweight and truly loved the sport.

    Wonder how a prime morrison would fit into todays batch of heavyweight fighters.

    Read in Boxing Monthly that Ray Mercer knew Tommy was on steroids for their fight when he took his top off at the weigh in. He said he had black spots over his back and someone told him that Tommy would tire after 5 rounds.
