too old , too "tainted" , too skinny. he is done and has been for a long time . false positive? yeah!!!
when he first tested positive you dont think he went back for more tests? im sure he has the "T virus" (ya know "resident evil" and all). he should do like alot of boxers and become a trainer/promoter.

As most know I'm a huge Morrison fan, But this seems highly unlikely. I would love to see him just stay retired. But if he does really comeback, I would at least like to see him win a couple by Ko, Maybe just fight a bunch of nobodies and get a higher ratio of wins and Ko. But in reality, He needs to get matches first, But who the hell would fight him?? I bet somebody will. Marcus Rhodes gave him a chance right after he got diagnosed. I just hope he doesn't get hurt or worse, Transfer the illness.

Very well put!

for that post.

Everyone should follow suit.

I am sure that took a lot to come out with that post Dukey. I know you love your bwoy.

An Error Has Occurred!
Sorry Dukey, Wacko can't repeat a karma action without waiting 24 hours.

I didn't think AIDS could be transfered when blood touches skin, it would only be transfered if introduced into the body. Example.. if Morrison cut somebody in a fight and then got cut himself and his blood got into the cut of his opponent, then it risks.. but unless the other boxer only cuts Tommy and injests his blood the disease won't be transferred.

I have never heard of such a thing False Positive....Im no medical professional but my wife is a nurse and she never heard of such a thing either.....I dont think anyone would license Tommy so this is all just Talk.....Besides even if it were true Tommy has been away a long time and is no where peak....If he wants to stay invoolved in the game so bad try training or managing keep yourself healthy he had a decent career dont ruin what little bit of legecy you have by becoming a sideshow

Not quite what I meant when I said I never heard of it before but OK..lol....I meant more along the lines of someone having something Like HIV for years then all of a sudden not having it....Especially because anyone with the sickness has to follow a very balanced life of eating right and taking the right meds resting ect...so it doesnt turn into full blown aids....


False negative vs. false positive
Statistical tests always involve a trade-off between:

(a) the acceptable level of false positives (in which an non-match is declared to be a match) and
(b) the acceptable level of false negatives (in which an actual match is not detected).


That is all I could come up with

[El Kabong]

..very good, bravo

I just got done with my (hopefully LAST) Statistics class...lord I hate that shit

[DaxxKahn]

You've never heard of a "False Positive"? Women get false positives tests a lot usually the one that tells them they have Cervical Cancer (my girlfriend had one of those tests and it was a false positive)
I hgave A false positive obviously means that the test comes back positive but an error made it that way and so it is a bad test. Every testing thingy doctors use have X ammount of false positives per 100 or 1000 times they do it

Ok let me explain myself...When I say never heard of that I mean I have never heard of someone having an illness like HIV or any other life threatning illness for years and all of a sudden after working with and being treated for years by Drs for it all of a sudden it turns up False Positive...As for something like your girlfriend went through...They re-test things like that for just that reason..knowing it could come back that way- ( like a home pregnancy test not 100 percent accurate this is why you go and get re-tested at Drs)...But never ever have I heard of such a thing with Hiv-What Morrsion claims can only be compared to lets say a guy being told he has liver cancer and goes to Kimo for years and takes all the meds then one day is told OOPS we made a mistake..No worrys your hair will grow back...

( Congrats on the false positive w/ G-friend my sister had same thing last year and had to have everything removed )

Scary thing is some doctors may be crooked enough to pass him through this shit with a little money. If any commission is thinking of allowing him to box they better have a doctor look at the situation outside of any tests he brings to the table.

A typographical error of course, i.e., the word is "concealed." It is interesting X and his head-bobbing underling, Violent Demise, did not catch that and thought it was "cancelled weapon." X should have served on my doctoral dissertation committee, for these five (5)scholars, with PhDs, allowed two (2) very minor typographical errors slip in the rather exhaustive bibliography which was in German, and which to this day no one has detected; Tommy Morrison's sins were many, but he was a good boxer for a country boy from Jay, Oklahoma. By the way, I have taken it under advisement to scrutinize the posts of these two Forum veterans as to substantive content, form, syntax and spelling. What goes around comes around Dr Vitali Klitschko commented once. LOL!

So, that is funny huh?
To me it is absolutely horrifying.

Yeah, it was let go too long. And I agree with horrofying. It's Tommy Morrison being KO'd that's funny. So I guess it's best described as horrifyingly funny.

[brad4dboxer]

He wasn't getting knocked out here.

[brad4dboxer]

Or here, or here.

I have to agree..I saw that fight live on TV it was not long after Rocky 5 came out...I remember the first few rounds Morrision was perfect I thought it was going to be an easy night then...I thought Ray was going to kill him...Ref should have been in 4 punches sooner

[brad4dboxer]

I thought so too DaxxKhan.
It just shows how quickly a fight can change with heavyweights who have boat anchors for fists.
Tommy did have a bit of a glass jaw, which always made me wish he would work more defensive instead of just always looking for a place to uload his lefthook.
