If it were to happen, I’d have to assume that this wouldn’t be on pay-per-view, but on FOX, as a lead-in to Temptation Island or something. Tommy Morrison, who tested positive for HIV 10 years ago, wants to get in the ring against Mike Tyson. And he also says that he’s no longer HIV positive. Thanks to BenMaller.com for the heads-up…
If you’ve heard of Morrison at all, it’s probably because he inexplicably starred in Rocky V, one of the worst movies in the history of cinema. He hasn’t fought in quite some time, and understandably so; no one’s really excited about a guy with the Hiv to be bleeding all over them. But I’m really glad that his time away from boxing has been productive… finding a cure for the HIV virus is no small feat. It’s also great news for those of you who were considering having unprotected sex with Tommy Morrison. Go ahead. Have at it. I dare you.
But yeah, at the age of 37, he wants to resume his boxing career, and he’d like to have a go against Mike Tyson. He says Tyson lives right down the road from him, and they’ve spoken about it. And despite the fact that it would be a fight between a guy who tested positive for HIV and, well, Mike Tyson… I’m sure they’d be able to find someone to sanction and promote it. Even sadder, though, I’m pretty sure I’d want to watch.

At least he wouldn’t have to worry about Tyson biting his ear off. Well, on second thought, Mike’s a crazy mother!

That fight would be like a car wreck. You have to watch, but you aren’t sure why.

In the words of Mills Lane LETS GET IT ON! If we have to endure RUIZ or KLITSKO or even EVANDER THE DONE DEAL. This shameless scam for money is no worse than any fight in the division and for my money Mike

I suspect Morrison planted the HIV story years ago, just so he could now fight tyson without getting bitten.

I think the fight would do good for the sport… it would also satisfy old fans who always wanted to see these two fight…. but its really weird…like the twilight zone..

No matter what, rather this fight ever happens or not, I want to wish Tommy all the very best in his future. I’ve been fan for years. I met him before he turned pro - I was friend of his brother’s in Missouri. So whatever - rather he fights again isn’t as important to me as his health and his happiness.
