    The fact he has HIV doesnt mean his visa will be revoked. The nature of the disease is not grounds for refual of entry. I say this with the knowledge that treatment is offered to foreigners, whilst in the country under a tourists visa, who suffer hiv.

    His ability of gaining a visa, enableing him to pursue any financial interests via the sport will be interesting...

    The ABF allowing him to fight will have to based on medical opinions, greed and finding a clown silly enough to fight him.

    Who would be a serious threat??? Hoppa?? For a few rounds perhaps... but Morrison could absorb the best of Hoppa.
    Meehan??? I wonder.
    Sol?? No fkn way.
    Dean Waters?? :rofl

    Meehan would pound the absolute **** out of Tommy at this point. It's not 1993 anymore lads.

    It's a lot harder to catch HIV than you think. The virus inside the blood needs a certain temperature in order to survive. The fight scene in Degrassi Jnr High between Joey and Dwayne carried all unwarranted panic. You'd be extremely unfortunate to catch HIV through a clash of cut heads, etc.
    I mean, it's not uncommon for men to have unprotected sex with female carriers of the disease and not catch it.
    Still, it's HIV, and I can understand why people would want nothing to do with a someone carrying it.

    Why would Tommy Morrison want to come to Australia?
    He is not a big enough name here to generate half the money he would make on a B grade show in the states, add to that airfaires and expenses and it's just not viable.

    Maybe???

    Though there's not huge boxing money available here, there may well be less over there for him. He gave MMA a go, so he's probably short of a quid.

    Here, he'd be a novelty. We don't get many quality heavyweights visit, even ones at or past their useby date.

    My ***** is out awaiting his arrival..lol...

    Even with aids Tommy would only need a decent training camp to flatten any of our heavies..

    I watched him in a cage fight on youtube from earlier this year..He can still move and his left hook definetly hasnt left him..Yes he was fighting a fat no hoper but the signs of his former boxing talent were there.

    He is a little skinnier and a shitload older and uglier then his glory years but i would still pay serious cash to watch him vs Hoppa etc...

    Spot on there...And you are allowed in the country if you carry and serious illnesses etc..You just have to let the authorities know before arrival..

    I remember this African bloke from around my way had aids and the authorities knew though the bloke was banging heaps of whitechicks without a rubber and now they have aids or atleast Hiv positive..Ruined alot of lives.

    You will be surprised by how many of these foriegners this country lets in have serious diseases...Pick your **** wisely boys...
