    Ya right...lol

    I dont agree w/the blase attitude of the poster above about letting anyone near him. Alot of guys are starving out there and would fight a bonified leper for a paycheck.

    No way he got misdiagnosed...hes got that Kimberly Bergalis look.

      i saw a recent pic of him, and i think he's got it, he looks bad. i still like him as a boxer, of the past. if he does hav hiv then he should not be fighting, but if he does'nt, leave him alone and let him fight. he really needs to go to vegas and be tested.

        At this point, I really don't know what and who to believe; you have reputable doctors saying 'he has it' and other reputable doctors saying 'he doesn' have it.' However, I heard a report that Morrison was going to apply for a license in Vegas so he could get his name cleared for good. That was a couple months ago; so who the hell knows?...

            When will people just put this whole HIV thing to rest and let Morrison get on with getting his career back?! I don't care what the first test said, he's been testing negative now and that should be the end of it..... Maybe he should get the CDC to test him. Get out of the boxing world to get the real result...... If I wasn't a 5'5, 113 lb woman, I'd gladly get in the ring with him. No one should be afraid, and just get out there fight him. That's why it's called boxing. duh....

              You may not care, but I am almost certain uninfected fighters who may be put at risk will care. No duh! Why should fighters not be cautious when the man tested positive for HIV multiple times, and had evident HIV antibodies in his blood as recent as last year? As much, there are discrepancies and uncertainties as to whether the blood being tested is actually his own. Why should not the board be su****ious? He waited 10 years to say he was negative. Why wait so long if you're good?

                  All Morrison has to do is, apply for a boxing license in NY, Jersey, or Nevada and let their medical staff test him. He has for some reason, not done that...

                    Read the article. It clearly stated he tested positive for HIV Antibodies but not HIV RNA.

                    Just saying.

                      Morrison should not be given the benefit of the doubt; fighters safety must come first. I agree with Boston Guy that all Morrison has to do is get tested by the highly reputable Nevada, NY, or NJ athletic commission when he applies for a license...
