That sucks man I read a great article last week about his condition and how he had convinced himself from the beggining that HIV was a goverment conspiracy and never took care of himself. The crazy thing is his wife has sex with him unprotected.

I'm still hoping this rumor is unfounded. Every "confirming link" I click on fails.

Apparently his girlfriend has confirmed it... If true R.I.P, he had bags of talent, unfortunately he wasted a lot of his potential.

Only the other week after reading the Esteban De Jesus story that I was wondering how Tommy was doing.. Damn it's such a sad and cautionary story!

Lamon Brewster posted it too.

RIP Champ.

There were rumors of Tommy's demise for a long time. He was in really bad shape for a while. Comparing Tommy's recent pictures to those when he was at his peak is scary and sad. At least his pain is at an end.

RIP Tommy.

I'm sad about his passing too, but how did he waste his potential? He had his prime years in the ring.
