    morrison was juiced up on roids, had plenty of power, a helluva weak chin, and no skill.

    he could not have gone far at all.

      Come on, he lost to a 46 year old Rocky Balboa!

      does that answer your question?

        ....A long way. Dude had dynamite in his gloves. He got stumbling drunk 24/7 and was ****ing everything that walked right up until fight time. He didn't train for **** and just stepped in and did his thing. With any discipline he would have been something special. Instead, he was just a special puncher. I wasn't aware he was ever roided up BTW.

            Tommy had his shot and was laid out by Lewis. That was as far as he ever would have gotten.

                    I believe he was diagnosed with HIV during a medical physical exam prior to a fight, he had to retire on the spot.
                    I haven't heard of his treatmant or how he's doing.
