** Morrison was pretty talented, much more than given credit for. His record is equal to or better than that of Quarry and Shavers of the touted Ali era.
Thing is that he was a glamour boy who seldom committed to training, used steroids, and used to wear eye make up when he went out cattin' around at night like movie stars which was most nights. Being that his great uncle, The Duke, John Wayne, was still huge in American memory, the handsome, ****y lad had his pick of ladies, parties and no end of backslappers.
He never realized his full potential. Just think how far Tyson fell after he stopped training and Tyson had even more natural talent.
To read the history of his retirement is like looking under rocks at Don King headquarters. He claims he was never HIV positive, was never an AIDs patient, and has years of HIV negative tests, but nothing verified.
Now he fights in Mexico on a big card against a novice tonight. I'm guessing a few bouts like that, if sucessful, then Chagaev, The White Tyson who apparently can't bust a g**** without a jackhammer, will need someone that he might actually have a chance to knockout. In Russia of course or maybe even Germany. Nobody in the states to sanction Morrison at this point.
