    I thought he was quicker and had more stamina before he seemed to muscle up after Rocky V. Still had that hook but was slower.

    His lungs definitely were not up to par. I dont know whether it was a lack of road work and too much weight training. The life he was living out of the ring. Probably all 3.
    His chin was slightly below average.

    Tommy had a good hook. It was quick. Morrison also had heart. He got up when he could and he came to fight.

    You just cant be in 3 round shape at the championship level.

    best thing about him was getting involved right off the bat with Burial Bill.

    without that initial push, he may not have been much more than a regional fighter that failed when he finally stepped up

    Likely zero effect. HIV is asymptomatic.
