Tommy Morrison in BN - looks dreadful

Post by reggaereggae »

I almost choked on my food when I saw former Golden boy Tommy Morrison in BN. I found this article too:

http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article. ... TLIN741809

Lord he looks old and broken down. Surely one of the worst falls from grace in boxing...........

Holy Smoke. Looks like two different people. He can't be applying to box anytime soon, surely not?

Sad to see this. It seems he's just lost it and is clearly in denial regrding the HIV. He didn't seem too bad a couple of years ago when he wanted his "Comeback".

Didn't realise he was in such a poor condition.

He looked decent just 3 years ago.

He's a classy guy, told his partner that she couldn't catch HIV from him. He gave it to her anyway.

But then I suppose she deserved it for being so thick.

I'd seen a pic of 'The Duke' in the Ring last month, I had to look twice to see if it really was THE Tommy Morrison they were talking about.
What happened to that fresh faced prospect that appeared in Rocky V??

Shouldn't think so...! :lol: That's what heavy use of crystal meth will do to you - in that pic it looks like he's been on it for 3 years straight 24/7 - poor guy hope he turns things around.

Rocky took him to the streets. It served him right. Mr George Washington Duke told him Balboa was a strettfighter and never to fight a streetfighter fight.

I guess he should have listened.

It's mad as in the movie it all went downhill when he went with the Don "Washington Duke" King.
In real life he signs with King and straight away finds out he has HIV.
You couldn't make that shit up.

Tommy Morrison is the great American tragedy, there so many good fights we missed out on seeing by the Duke.

I loved his fight with Carl Williams.

Poor Tommy. Sad times.

Magic Johnson has continued to live a long, healthy life and looks robust over 20 years on. Tommy has always been wild and it all seems to be going wrong for him.

So depressed for the guy.

If you think that picture blows your mind, consider this:-

Bernard Hopkins and Tommy Morrision turned pro the same year (1988)

And Hopkins is 4 years older !!

Has Tommy said he used, or been caught with, crystal meth?

That's the sort of look he has there, the shocking and sudden ageing.

Bernard has looked after himself and been a model professional, plus he obviously has great genes and a slice of luck health wise, where as Tommy has just abused his body etc etc, so it's no suprise really. It seems that what you do in your 20's appears on your face in your 40's !!!!

Great shot. I still don't know how the hell he could paste George Foreman for 12 rounds and then lose in one to Michael Bentt.

Because he was a VERY underated boxer with a huge ego and a fragile chin.

His manager said after the Bent fight "he usually had the body of an adonis tonight he had the body of a truck driver.

I can't make up my mind whether he's deluded,a selfish scumbag or just plain stupid.

This is only three years ago.

Not looking bad for a guy diagnosed 12 years earlier with HIV
