I definitely think there are grains of truth to the claim that the subsequent inflection from those Pec implants contributed to his death. No on the AIDS denialism train, but having a shot immune system while battling a really bad infection isn't going to be easy.
I always liked him even though he was never that good but I read on the classic forum(and they made a VERY convincing case) that he Supposedly first tested positive for HIV in 89 and tried to hide it for 7 years while avoiding states to fight in that tested for HIV until he was simply running out of states and was unable to secure the big fights in obscure places. Disgusted by him if that's true.
Lol Morrison was never that good? He lost 3 times in his career. Once to a All Time great in Lewis. Once to a undefeated prospect in Ray Mercer and a fluke lost to Bentt. He was known for being one of the hardest punchers in heavyweight history. But yeah he wasn't that good.
