Would you fight Tommy Morrison? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

for those that dont know 11 years ago he was diagnosed with the HIV virus. He immediately was forced in to retirement and has not fought since. However over the last few years he claims he never had HIV and that he is clean of the virus. They tested him and he is clean, and their are no longer signs of the virus in his system.

Boxing is a pretty bloody sport, would you fight Tommy Morrison?

(he won his first comeback fight today with a 2nd round knockout)

I personally would beat his ass just for being a part of Rocky V.

I'll fight just about anyone. Several times, I challenged Mike Tyson to a fight, but he either ignored me or didn't get my messages.

Honestly, that is a tough question. If he really is free of HIV, there's no reason to not fight him if one was a boxer in his class.

Then again, wasn't it him that made the claim that he had it? Why would he claim to have it if he didn't? I just don't know if I'd trust that he wasn't infected, especially because boxing is one sport in which is it possible for one competitor to bleed into the other.

How's that for an evasive answer?

My thoughts exactly. I'd open a can on him.

Seeing as that movie was an abomination on the series I tend to agree.

I'm glad that last one was well done and the character went out on a good note.

I would fight just because his uncle is among my least favorite persons named Marion, which is a woman's name.
