By the end of the night, one of the more unusual tales of the tape read this way: Henry Akinwande, the World Boxing Association's top heavyweight contender and the man set to take on Holyfield, had tested positive for hepatitis B, a serious liver disease that can be transmitted through blood; Ray Mercer, another heavyweight, had also tested positive for hepatitis B; Maria Nieves-Garcia, the fighter to box Martin, was found to be 21 weeks pregnant, and Duran, a 46-year-old Panamanian, was set to see a state court judge in Florida.
Do you think there are people, trying to keep you out of it, for other reasons, beside the HIV?
MORRISON:
You know what? There is a part of me that does. There was always a little part of that thought, something was going on there. They tell me I am HIV positive, 45 minutes later; I am on a plane, by myself, flying through Washington, Virginia, just trying to get back to Tulsa. Why they got me out of there so fast, sending me off by myself? They all stayed there and watched the fights, there was some pretty shady stuff that went on there, there was a protocol that could have been taken, there was an appeal process that didn’t happen, I don’t know why. I mean, Don King had three fighters that he could monopolize the division with, Tyson, Lewis and Oliver McCall. The only person in his way was me. That crossed my mind...
This is ridiculous.
All 3 of those guys would KO the glass-chinned Morrison
lie I said read my post agian and all becomes clear. One of the things about these types of diseases is the theraphy required which is retardedly expensive. Aids is not curalble at the moment but it can become mostly non-existant to people that recieve proper treatmen' IE those with money. Those symptoms that you attributed to Hep-B are in cases left un treated for the most part. There are extream cases of HBV
Hepatitis B virus is easily spread by direct contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person. For example, hepatitis B can be transmitted from an infected mother to her baby at birth, through unprotected sex with an infected person, by sharing equipment for injecting street drugs, and by occupational contact with blood in a health-care setting. Hepatitis B is not spread through food or water or by casual contact.
People can have hepatitis B (and spread the disease) without knowing it. Sometimes, people who are infected with hepatitis B virus never recover fully from the infection. They carry the virus and can infect others for the rest of their lives
Is there a cure for hepatitis B?
There are no medications available for recently acquired (acute) HBV infection. Hepatitis B vaccine is available for the prevention of HBV infection. There are antiviral drugs available for the treatment of chronic HBV infection.
Hep-B can be cured and there are vaccines that are avalible so you never get it. Hep C is a death sentence there is no cure and almost no way to treat it. It makes aids look like bitchmade.
Hepatitis B is caused by a virus that attacks the liver. The virus, which is called hepatitis B virus (HBV), can cause lifelong infection, cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver, liver cancer, liver failure, and death.

Hep C is a death sentence there is no cure and almost no way to treat it. It makes aids look like bitchmade. I went to nursing school not medical but you learn alot of stuff about blood born pathagens. Hep-b is the least of the wories. There are strains of hep-b that are very tough to cure some are not able to be cured. But hep-c is a complety diffrent anmimal like I said above. Aids now in the US. and western europe is a treatable disese with people being able to live almost natural life spans. Same thing with hep-B. Hep-c your a dead man walken.
its not our responsability as fans to have proof or not...the medical department says he had it ...that means he does! ... if it was inconclusive and he came out with proof that he didnt have it trust me they would have wanted him back in...
if they're letting mesi come back when obviously hes not up to par then they would have let tommy back knowing he had direct evidence that stated he was healthy espessially if it was 6 or 7 years ago

lol Ok, now Tommy is sounding like Alex Jones.
He really needs to just face facts and deal with his shit.
how do you know if hes got the proof? ... show us a link with results
or a link with him in a press confrence showing everybody results
untill then...they still havent found jimmy hoffa and tommy morrison still has HIV ..case closed
george foreman and tommy morrison are 2 different human beings ...
foreman got lead along a narrow path of mostly nobodys except for morrison and holyfield on the way to the title...
the powers that be pretty much handed foreman the belt so he'd retire
CASILE:
Are you healthy?
MORRISON:
I’m healthier than I have ever been, nothing has changed in my life, other than , they have prevented me from making a living for the past ten years, and it cost me about 40 million dollars. And that’s a tough pill to swallow. This time, its better, I have redeemed my passion fro the sport, I don’t have to worry about anyone stealing from me. It gives me the opportunity to help a lot of kids. I’m not just fighting for me; I am fighting for every kid that has been discriminated against, because of HIV. It is horrible, what some of these kids go through, like Ryan White for example. It’s ungodly.
A thats because marcus rhodes is a punching bag...he needs the money he'll fight anybody to get a check
B ... answer my question...when he got tested and it came back negative the first time 6 or 7 years ago that there should have been it for him to fight agian .. why wait untill now to say hes totally clean and been that way for almost a decade
