How far cud he have gone?? he was hugely hyped and a pretty damn explosive boxer - but a bit like frank bruno when morrison wud get hurt, he wud just continue taking punishment....Under a different trainer (and without his personal problems) how far cud he have gone?
Morrison had crazy power and good offensive skill , but he had a weak chin and could not recover when hurt. He couldnt of won a title sure if he was able to hurt and ko his opponent first becuase if he got hurt it was over.
between the 2nd and 3rd knockdowns tyson hits him with a vicious uppercut that knocks him senseless but he falls against tyson and tyson just sorta stands there like hes not sure he should hit him again. after like 2 or 3 seconds jaco comes to a little bit and kinda fights back before going down again.
the best part about it is that it was one of tysons earliest fights and it looks like its in a fire house or something.. there is some ridiculous redneck witht a mullet standing in the front row who just goes absoulutley bonkers everytime tyson knocks him down. all you can see is this dude in the background the whole fight with his mullett flyin around

i have his fight with tyson on dvd, this guy is tough as shit. not a good fighter, but he not bullshitting when he says he went down swinging.
tyson hit him with everything in the book, knocking him literally off his feet, and this dude got up 3 times when you thought for sure he was done after the first.
I thought that was funny when he asked the ref why are you stopping the fight and the ref told him you ran out of knock downs. That shit is classic. :lol1:

He did pretty good too, he was on David Letterman the following week, he kept saying "Yeepers" or something like that.

Remember when they pulled this guy out of the crowd to fight Tommy because the fighter he was supposed to fight did'nt show up. Without looking it up I think that guy's name was David Jaco.

I stand corrected, you are right sir.
Tommy was diagnosed in Feb'06 and he fought one more time in Japan in Nov.of the same year.

I believe he was diagnosed with HIV during a medical physical exam prior to a fight, he had to retire on the spot.
I haven't heard of his treatmant or how he's doing.
