How Good was Tommy Morrison ?

How Good was Tommy Morrison ?was he just a journeyman Heavywight or was he talented

I think he was verry good and had all the tools, verry exciting fighter. But this HIV storrie if true or not kicked him out of the picture. I think its a shame, also the storrie with Ike Ibeabuchi. These 2 man where suposed to be verry good exciting heavyweights but their careers ended verry early in an unusual way.

Easily would have won a rematch, he had some setbacks but I always remember people being 50 times more critical when it came to Morrison compared to a boxer of lesser skills.

Morrison was very chinny aswell though from what ive seen i think that is probably why he was more of a contender than the real deal ,Lewis had him over a few times with shots that were exactly devestating

it is a bit frustrating when u watch the Lewis fight cause u know he has the power to hurt Lewis but he is to fearfull of letting his hands go cause he knows Lewis can punch aswell ,he ends up staying on the outside trying to Box his way in when in reallity he should have been taking a chance & abandoning his Boxing & trying to nail Lewis with left hooks & right hands even at the risk of being KO'd himself that is th only chance he had in that fight ,as it was he was content to stay at range where Lewis's power was

He was pretty good, had good power and everything but he had a glass chin.

Where is the link showing that he tested positive last year? He is fighting on the payperview this weekend so get your story straight before you post that. You guys forget that he only had 3 losses on his record when he had to quit. He lost to Mercer, Lewis and some guy named Michael Bentt. His only problem was that he was never in shape for his fights and that is what held him back. If anything, he was a devastating puncher and many fighters say that he was easily the hardest puncher that they have ever faced...

I don't need to show you a link. Not every bit a news goes public. Maybe you would wonder why his results were delayed for his fight in Texas, or after that he only fought on an Indian reservation in an unsanctioned MMA fight, or in Mexico where both places don't require results. Some things are known in circles and aren't discussed publicly, You can claim whatever you want; the man has always had HIV.

Maybe so but I highly doubt that you have the inside track on Tommy Morrison. If he failed a test recently it would have probably been all over the boxing websites by now. Whatever the truth is you shouldn't make that claim based on heresay...
