If Tommy Morrison hadnt contracted HIV, would would have become of him?

does anyone think Morrison's steroid use added anything to his punching power, particularly in that left?

Tommy..

Average fighter...Muscled up so he had some **** and a good left hook.
Below average skill set. Beaten by some average guys. Suspect chin.

Kinda sounds like Wlad Klitschko doesn't it!! LOL!

Lower level top 10 fighter at best. Worked his popularity well. did have just enough wins over known fighters to give SOME credability to a decent record and quite active career..

in his earlier fights he looked alot smaller at 210 pounds. he admitted to using roids before, during, and after his career. he definetly added more muscle. do you think the juice he was taking gave him more power?

[landmine950]

Juice?

Damn! I could of had a V-8!

Yes of course the steroids makes you stronger.
In the Vid you can see his ***** **** at one point.
Problem is that the lungs and heart cant get oxygen to those big muscles and they use it all up and... flop! your out of gas!

If you can finish a guy early your ok..If not you get your ass Ray Mercered!

He should have stayed natural!

good points, so are you saying had he kept his body natural, his left hook wouldnt have been as devastating as it ultimately was. that was his money punch and it saved his ass many times. but roids do make you stronger, im still undecided whether that played a major factor in his left hand

roids cant teach you to use proper body leverage, and Tommy used to sit down a lot on that punch. it was a classic punch, comparable to a lot of great left hookers.

I think he could've become a titlist again but not much more than that.

i totally agree mate

NO mate, junk gives you bulk but not power.

depends on the type of steroid it is. there are some that make you stronger.

I think he would have been fun to watch, but he wouldnt have been a top guy. I like ol' Tommy Gun, but he wouldnt have beat the top opposition.

Simply put, if Morrison had not tested HIV+ his next fight would have been against Mike Tyson, and that fight would have clearly made or broken him.

I don't. Morrison always threw his left hook with perfect form and great velocity. For all his flaws, he definitely had that going for him.
