I thought there was a cure for AIDS?


RIP

No, they haven’t cured it. But they have gotten to the point where with a dedicated regimen of various medications it is in fact possible in many cases to “control” HIV (the virus that causes AIDS). You would still always be HIV positive, but in most cases could continue to live a fairly normal and long life.

However, if you don’t stay disciplined to the ****tail of medication prescribed to you (or don't catch it an an early stage) HIV would progress to AIDS and then at that point there isn’t much that can be done.

Ray Mercer knocking him the **** out is one of the reasons I'm a fight fan today.

I used to really enjoy watching Morrison's fights, he was a true warrior. I was very upset when they first announced he tested positive for HIV.
But how did the commission allow him to fight 2 more times afterwards? If anybody has info on this can you please explain this to me thanks.

RIP CHAMP and may God bring peace to your family in this hard time.

Wow bro very disrespectful, somebody should have raised you better.

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

Well it is well documented that ever since Rocky V he didn't train properly and was an alcoholic and drug abuser! I think it was in one of the fight night interviews that he claimed that he caught HIV from a tainted needle! (This was before he started claiming that Aids was a government conspiracy)

So yeah he did waste potential, you can't expect to fulfil your potential in any sport if your abusing your body.. And his best years were 93-95 so I wouldnt call a 25 year old heavyweight a guy in his prime!

Tommy Morrison seemed to be more irresponsible than Mike Tyson ever was, but since people didn't perceive any anger associated with his actions, he wasn't really challenged by the media nor fans. Instead, the boxing world sat back and allowed him to live in denial. I wish just one of the many who leeched off of him would have been a true friend. He would still be alive today.

RIP Champion. Great hook.
