    Morrison will not be allowed to fight again in the US, and should not.

    And hypothetically, even if he was allowed to, he's been gone too long to make a serious impact. He had the best HW left hook of this generation, though. Top 5 all-time HW left hooks, I'd say. He had too much money, too early, and he didn't always train like he should have and took guys too lightly, like Bennt and Purrity. The world title that he won by beating Foreman meant something considering Foreman KO'd Moorer in his next fight. But that was really his peak. He was a good HW who could at times show flashes of greatness, but he never got a chance to put it together. Just when it seemed he was becming dedicated and putting together some strong performances, he was found +. Too bad, because we were going to see Tyson-Morrison soon after, a dream HW match that would have been phenomenal while it lasted.

        For the sake of being humane, I hope Morrison does not have HIV. Nobody should have to endure that kind of pain before death. Even if he did receive a false positive because he was on steroids, he had better not dare take up a lawsuit to say that he was denied earnings in the ring. He openly admist using steroids and said himself that he would have been nothing without them. That's a disgrace. There's enough of a mess in the sport's world about steroids being used by guys that bat a ball around a stadium; sure as **** that steroids have ABSOLUTELY NO place in boxing at any level. Lives are at risk. It's not as though Morrison tried to advocate his steroid use by saying that he was using them to help overcome difficult injuries; he admits that he used them to become the powerhouse that he was.

              Huge biceps only say soo much. He is 37 years old, and he has been out for a while. He could win a few fights probably, but I don't think he is a potential world champion, and that means I don't think right now he could win any of the major alphabet belts, even in todays heavyweight division.
