    Nothing strange. Many did like him in those times. The difference Is he was caught while others not.

    My advice Is not to judge.

    Who are these other high profile boxers who fought and fornicated while knowing they were HIV positive?

    A bold unfounded claim and total lack of specifics. Par for the course.

    But wouldn it be detected in some blood tests during his career? Fighters have at least 1-2 blood tests during a year, at least before all fights.

    The 90s were the Wild West days when it came to any kind of testing in boxing. Very little of it was done during that decade. The NSAC didn't even test for HIV/AIDS until around 1995/6. Morrison’s positive result came the first time he was ever tested. Many of his former opponents like Lewis, Mercer and Foreman had to get themselves checked. It was a big deal. Interestingly, the NYSAC started HIV/AIDS a couple years before Nevada and Morrison stopped fighting over there around that time.

    Can't believe Ruddock got up from that left hook. God damn!

    Video made it look like a flat KO. Stopped on his feet.

    He was tested on his own when his career was getting started though. It just wasn't by the athletic commissions.

    Stop making stuff up. Lewis publically stated he was in no rush to get an AIDS test. The chances of AIDS being passed on during a boxing match are close to nil.

    This is Morrison’s weird final ‘fight’. Sad and pathetic to see. Tragic story
