Washed up , but I hope he wins a few and ends up facing one of my heavyweight friends who will knock him out.

According to a FOXSports.com article, Tommy was quoted saying that he originally was misdiagnosed with the HIV test, and that in the process of training to comeback, he has had numerous tests and they have all been negative..

So,he took all that HIV medication for nothing??
Instead of staging a comeback he should be out there
sueing the heck out of everyone who diagnosed him.

Not buying it........they won't let him fight and no one
(I hope) is stupid enough to get in a ring with him.

Unless he can prove/claim that he's not HIV positive.

One cut on him and a cut on the other boxer,blood
gets mixed up from a head butt or holding.That's
too much Russian Roulette for me.....................

You need to read and get your facts straight, you've apparently missed a lot of news about this.

First, West Virginia does not require blood testing for thier boxers.

Second, he has had multiple blood tests done, one voluntarily for the state of West Virginia, all have come back negative.

Third, he boxed yesterday and won easily. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2775863

So he has proven that he does not have HIV, his long time girlfriend even offered up a blood sample, guess what, negative. And this was taken from the boxer he faced.

"John Castle, of Indianapolis, said he had reservations about facing Morrison because of his medical status.

'Wouldn't you? I was going to refuse to fight,' Castle told the New York Daily News. 'I asked to see his medical tests and they showed me three tests where he was negative for HIV. That's the only way I would fight.' "

So do some research before making a blanket statement like that. It will only help you in the long run. :wink:
