    Ok, I know all the comments will come rolling out, with sarcasm.

    What is going on with Tommy Morrison, is he fighting anymore or not???

    Anybody heard anything credible?

    I'd guess not. It seems that every heavyweight who's still putting on gloves has called out David Haye, and given Morrison's absence. He seems to be MIA.

    Yes, he is still fighting. He is in talks to fight in December at a casino in Mississippi.

    I am interested in seeing how far he can get, assuming he keeps fighting progressively better opponents.

    Not too hopeful that he'll get very far, but I think it'll be interesting when he does get in with a decent fighter for the first time in many years.

    I got an email from Tommy's camp that said they were about to meet to discuss his next fight.

    As far as I know.........he has been cleared of HIV.

    Too old though, and even when he was young he was severly limited.

    ^Probably so, but he can still bank in on midcard/journeyman types.

    Well, It would be nice to hear an official word on the HIV thing, and to find out if he is actually cleared to fight, and when

    Well I hope his next opponent has a decent winning record and not some 5 wins 21 losses type.
