    The man doesnt have any money, and Im sure boxings all he knows. If someones dumb enough to sign the contract to fight him, who has the right to tell him not to fight anymore?

    The man shouldn't be allowed to step foot inside a ring.

    There was some other news story on Morrison and his test results being hidden so he could still fight. I guess noone else remembers the details of it, but I recall people being infuriated that he went ahead and fought that last guy.

    He seems like he could fit in with the WWF:lol: , but even them tards probably don't want no HIV in their ring either.

    Aids might not be killing him, but a TOP HW surely would:lol:

    Hope he gets his status cleared. It makes one wonder how hard it is? I mean should he not have a litany of test results over time? Surely it should be present or not.

    I don't remember exact details either but the last I had read was something about his manager and or lawyer hitting the road because they claimed he had cheated somehow on the tests.

    i saw him on espn's classic ringside for lennox recently. not a very gracious person. he badmouthed pretty much everyone brian kenny asked him about. said when lennox beat him, lennox had the best night of his career :yep

    lewis would've beat him at any stage of eithers career. morrison would never be able to hide that glass chin for long against lennox

    Exactly. It's common knowledge that he tested positive at one time, whether true or not, I wouldn't take the risk myself. He should have to disclose that before any contract is signed.

    Tommy hasn't looked very good in his recent comeback, but if he doesn't test positive by an independent test, I say let him fight. He should have to disclose the reputed previous test results................

    I think Larry Hazzard was fired for trying to ban Tommy Morrison from the MMA due to recent investigations concerning hiv and a Tommy's recent MMA mismatch.

    Maybe he could still make "some" money as a trainer or something that keeps him close and related to boxing. I have no bad wishes for Tommy, but if he gets another fighter fatally ill with a disease in a fight then he should be strung up by his toe nails.

    I saw that fight & it was a mismatch. Lewis was jabbing him to death but he couldn't knock him out. It was a TKO (because you aren't good enough to stop this guy from hitting you at will) type stoppage by the ref.

    I dont want to see Morrison get back in the ring either, but if someone is dumb enough to fight him thats his problem. As far as Morrison being a trainer, its possible, but most fighters that were great fighters like Morrison rarely able to teach other fighters to be great for some reason. The best trainers are usually the ones that didnt have the physical gifts to be great, but know how to teach others who do have a great talent for the sport how to grow and get better as a fighter.
     
  13. Morrison will refuse to fight in New York, Jersey or Nevada, Vegas because those boxing commissions are strict and will test for every detail, he's fighting in these off beat places that will sweep his HIV status under the rug, what else do you expect from a convicted felon, who will do anything for a buck, and i can't believe someone would be stupid enough to go into the ring with him .:-( :-( :-(

    Morrison is a head case, who blew all his money, like a lot of fighters do. He has nothing to fall back on, unless he wants to get a job, and he probably does not consider that.
