YEah but he wasn't a 'golden boy' in the wider sense.

Morrison was handsome, a movie star, a Heavyweight champion (WBO - though he beat Foreman.)

Tommy Morrison, proof that the love of one good woman is better than the snatches of a thousand.

True words David Payne, but it takes a smart man who can occasionally swallow his stubborn pride to hold onto that good woman. That man must also manage to control his urges towards the wrong women.
Its tough to keep your life under control when you are John Waynes Nephew, rich, handsome, American movie star, heavyweight champ.
He had no chance of staying on the straight and narrow.
De La Hoya and Leonard are some of the select few that could handle it.

Yeh tough. Choices others didn't have.

Leonard? You kidding me? Read up on him fella

every time i see tommy in grazianos bar hes always got different pussy with him,eyes like christopher lee as hes either pissed up or smashed on drugs,so all that has taken its toll !! he done bird as well cos he was telling me he thrashed a fella the first day he went in as the fella tried to start on him,bad move ! i gota admit i seen scars on his forearms the last time i seen him so could be through drugs,hes lost loads of weight though and his hair and he does play up to the duke image, cos john wayne is a icon in the states even now. tommy has also cherokee blood as his mother is a native indian,you wanna see him and leon spinks on the piss as they get bladdered ! spinks is another pisshead and drugs,he was working in macdonalds the last i heard.

best HW left hooker I ever saw, the Ruddock knock down was almost supernatural.
Loved watching him fight, very exciting, even in defeat, kinda like a white Benn in that kill or be killed.

Trully sad to see him in this condition.

Bit of a sad state that Tommy's in there... a shame.

there is talk of him having pectoral implants......look

thats true. It just seems as if his lifestyle over the years has finally caught up with him. He sort of looks half crazy in the video. Its amazing how many boxers do well, earn a lot of money, get fame and recognition and then dive off a cliff head first !!!!

Tommy has half lost it; talking all kinds of odd nonsense.....

I saw Rocky V the other day...Morrison is the ultimate fall from grace. Tragic really. He is clearly deluded and still thinks he can come back.... to what, who knows......

The man suffered a severe test and has dealt with it with dignity. He is a father and a reborn christian. He can still fight too which his wins in the ring showed........Morrison comes from a community where men like him do age due to fast living (they are adults by 13) and consequently they are middle aged by 35

Looks like Morrison can't sort himself out, back in jail on dope charges, and not looking so good.

He is preparing to take on a former Thai Boxer and Olympic gold medalist boxer in a kickboxing match. The Thai fighter is 38 and Van Damme is 50. Van Damme hasn't fought i competition in 29 years!!! Needless to say that if this is a straight fight the Belgian will have his ass handed to him by the Asian fighter.

Its hard for a fighter to admit that he is over the hill.

I think that whole deal is a publicity stunt to hype a movie.
