between Tommy Morrison and Matthew Hilton(Jr Middleweight Champion )., who do you think had the better boxing skills ?

Pretty safe bet this guy got AIDS from ROIDS.

What?? You don't get HIV from roids. I knew his trainer and he said Tommy was banging like 3 women a day when he was in his boxing prime and did the rocky movie.

You get HIV from sharing needles. He certainly used needles for ROIDs.

Tommy was an admitted man whore. He said he slept with hundreds of women without protection. Safe to say he got it from unprotected sex

I shouldn't have written "safe bet." Frankly I think neither one is a safe bet. A man whore he was, a PED user he also was. He did a lot of weird stuff like getting chest augmentation surgery, so who the hell knows?

Does anybody have the footage of the Arthur Weathers press conference? (feb. 1996). Boxing Legends TV used some footage but i can’t seem to find it anywhere only some pics. It was the fight where he got caught with HIV.

Morrison was an exciting fighter, but he didn't beat a single contender in their prime.

[Caractacus]

anyone have any info concerning any opponents Tommy Morrison was scheduled to fight,
but the fight was cancelled ?

I can think of a few

Tommy Morrison vrs Herbie Hide October.22.1994 in Hong Kong

Riddick Bowe vrs Tommy Morrison for the HW Championship October.7.1995 ( pay-per-view)

You mention his kids... I don't know if this is where you are going with it but... I've had discussions with his ex-wife (Trish) and have had conversations with people who are close to his other ex-wife (Dawn), etc... There is paperwork out there on public record that Morrison underwent "sperm washing" in order to have children, therefore they wouldn't have been born with the virus.

Hiv transmission to child when father is the only one hiv positive is nearly impossible

Following the Purity fight. Morrison was scheduled to fight Herbie Hide in Hong Kong October 1994 for the
WBO HW Championship,

but the fight was cancelled at the last minute and Morrison filed a lawsuit against Top Rank and Bob Arum and was out of the ring for 6 and half months.He came back in February 1995 to fight Ken Merritt aired on the USA Tuesday Night Fights.
The thing I noticed in his comeback 6 and half months later was that his apperance seemed to have changed some,noticably he was sporting a Count Zaroff type beard and wearing different type of trunks..

Amazing thread with great videos

Tommy Morrison's 38th professional fight,August 1993-originally Morrison was scheduled to fight the dude who he won the HW championship from in the movie ROCKY V, Mike Williams aka "Union Cane"
but the dude pulled out at the last minute(actually 40 mintes before the fight was to start) and Tomashek was instantly available. Tim Tomashek has been refered to by some boxing historians as
"The Strangest World Heavyweight Challenger Ever".
after this fight Morrison was scheduled to fight (then unbeaten) Frans Botha in October 1993,
but fought Michael Bentt instead, and you know how that went.

another canclled fight ( the fighter didnt show up at the last moment)Morrison was to supposed to fight the dude in ROCKY V, who had played the HW Champion "Union Cane".
