Tommy Morrison - "The Rising Sun"

Best Left Hook in Boxing...

 

I've defended him from an unfair amount of hate around here an elsewhere over the years. He had his demons... But he doesn't deserve some of the cruel things that have been said about him. As far I know his self-destruction largely harmed him and not really anyone else(hard for his boys and Mrs obviously)

 

yea as long as the chains are short from hanging point.

 

few different ones actually. boxing scene/live fight were probably the main boxing ones but the most of the abuse was unsurprisingly from more general sports forums, people just out of nowhere accusing him of deliberately infecting people with hiv etc. lots of bitterness and vitriol that didnt seem to stack up.

he obviously had serious issues, getting pectoral implants and stuff, just a sad story of someone very tallented, who was under lots of pressure who then went off the rails and never came back. and still lots of unanswered questions, no straight answers.

except on sports forums of course, where he is basically bang to rights got what he deserved etc. pathetic really. funnily enough i never posted on those sites again after that.
