    That's fine. Foreman still has great power as well. It is not the only issue. Morrison could infect someone, regardless of how small the amount of HIV is left in his clood. Also, his chin I doubt is very good these days. He has not boxed in years.

    This could be very bad if he faces someone good.

        You can test negative and still have it. It happens on the regular. He is NOT HIV negative. He has and lives with HIV. The meds he takes as well as his supreme physical condition allow him to TEST negative. It is not the same.

          If this is true, why would the athletic commission clear him to fight? Your argument makes sense, but wouldn't the doctors who are examining and testing him have the same concerns?

              I dont think they'd have cleared him to fight if he could still infect someone but I agree that he's going to have big problems if he ever faces even a marginal contender. he's just been out too long and is 38 yrs old now

                    He looks to be in GREAT physical shape, though I wonder if he is on steroids again. I wish the fight would actually be televised. I like Tommy and he seemed to be a pretty cool guy when I wrote to him. Wish him the best and hopefully cleaned his life up.

                      Let's not forget that Magic Johnson was able to test HIV negative for years in the NBA when he was actually positive. It's a matter of diet, exercise and discipline. A strict routine can allow an HIV positive person, to test negative. It happens more often that you would think.
