Boxing: Tommy Morrison

Does anyone know how Tommy Morrison became HIV positive?

Getting a tattoo with an infected needle maybe?

Also, did you know that he's john Wayne's nephew?

You know what i don't know how he got HIV...

Is he still not allowed to fight?

Only thought he was good in the rocky film

With john wayne i knew he had the same last name didn't know they were related.

What was john waynes first name i'm sure it was like a girls or have i got it wrong?

If my memory serves me right, I believe John Wayne's other name is Marion. I may be wrong, too lazy to surf it up right now.....LOL

Tommoy Morrison from Rocky 5?

Yes Deep i think you are right....

Ben that's him wasn't he in a earlier Rocky film than 5 though...

He got HIV through unprotected sex, apparantly with a hooker. He liked the ladies and was well into treble figures for conquests so it's not a surprise.

Morrisons fight record...

Well what can you say about him tough white kid with a wicked left hook,he beat George Foreman,got his butt kicked by Ray Mercer,Starred in Rocky V,announced he was HIV positive,went to jail then dropped out of sight..

He is now living in Sparta, Tenn, working on his autobiography, looking for a publisher and attending acting school. Just because he was a famous white heavyweight in a fighting world largely made up of minorities, lots of fans assumed he started out with some kind of silver spoon and that he was a rich kid but thats far from the truth..

As for the Jail sentance he got caught with a gun and drugs in his car..Although he had a gun licence having them both together got him charged with 6 felonies,He copped a plea and got 2 yrs..It could have been 40 to life..

Hey i wondered what happened to Tommy Gun,looks like he has had a rough time of it lol.
