[@robertb5886]

In this fight Tommy Morrison looked tired and worn out he didn't look like the fast super champion of the past. I think y now he was feeling the effects of HIV.

[@conservativeamber1216]

First year of HIV...but he was officially diagnosed later

[@doriankeating1963]

No he did not have HIV, he was clear and died of sepsis after an infection set in from a piece of gauze in his chest. Fact. Very sad that so many people still to this day are ignorant of that fact, his drug abuse did not help his condition either, he ended up a heavy user. Very sad and controversial life,he had very different sides to him like most drug takers, polite and respectful when sober , with an alter ego on the juice and drugs.

Lewis knew how to beat shorter big punchers with ease.He used the same technique with Morrison,Tyson,and Tua.He pivoted off the right foot and jabbed them all night.He never let them get set up to attack.He kept changing directions confusing and frustrating them.With Morrison he countered and smothered him.Tommy psychologically knew he was f'ed after rd 1.,but didn’t give up trying,just like Tua.Lewis was a beast until he met Klitschko.

Lewis vs. Bowe= Lewis beat Bowe at the Olympics. Imagine the same thing happening again; Lewis is just a bit better. Tyson vs. Foreman = slugfest This would be the most fun fight ever to watch. Tyson would be favored, but it would not be easy. Lewis vs. Foreman = easy fight for Lewis; keep distance; throw massive bombs on Foreman's face; foreman would actually get destroy here i think, he was too slow to catch Lewis, and Lewis hit really hard. Holyfield vs. Morrisson = Good fight. I still think Holy would win, start with a big slugfest but morrison just don't have the stamina and chin holyfield had. Tyson vs. Bowe: They are actually close friends in real life. Tyson said this so they would never fight. Tyson would win, but big bowe would not be easy to take down, no surprise if end by points.

Answer is I liked Lewis but Never saw him as A Feirce Exciting Great Boxer He stayed away and let the judges give him points never Hit Hard or fought people when they were in their prime He even ducked Holyfeild for a long time ........so I dont think so but its cool if you think so

[@dustynn.9030]

Tommy should have done much better, he needed to be more aggressive to rattle Lennox & minimize that jab. He boxed with an incorrect strategy all night. He's a much superior boxer then his output in this specific match and well Lennox is Lennox.

[@presence5426]

If you're going to beat Lewis, you damn sure don't play chess with him. You don't wait around on the outside & let Lewis control the fight with his jab. He'll set you up for that nasty right hand. You have to change it up. When you're on the inside, you gotta throw FAST. Get under Lewis's skin. Make him trade with you. And, you gotta be NASTY. Lewis uses borderline illegal tactics: pushing & leaning behind the head, grabbing, holding & hitting. You have to counter that. Nobody wins a decision against Lewis. The way to beat him is to hurt him, mug him. His weakness is his chin.

[@holidayeveryday550]

Folks will try and give every excuse for why Morrison lost to Lewis. The fact of the matter is, he (Morrison) fought the superior fighter that night. Folks need to get a grip. Morrison was still a threat at the time of this fight, so much so-I thought Morrison was going to win.

[@garrygalloway5043]

Of course Lewis was better but in certain ways, I was surprised about Morrison. First of all, how did this guy make it to the ring? He had issues, a serious narcotic and alcohol addiction problems, We're talking about the hard stuff. He was also probably HIV positive at the time that he fought Lennox Lewis but he officially tested positive 4 months later. He had also used PED's throughout his career which was the only reason that he was able to get in shape. With his lifestyle I do not think that he would be able to get ready if he were PED free. By the way, I am not knocking people who are HIV positive because with today's medicine that can lower a person's viral load to undetectable, it would be positive for a HIV positive person to box even though the boxing federations would probably not allow it.

[@doriankeating1963]

Sorry you are wrong about the HIV bit, but correct on the drug and alcohol use, Tommy was negative , fact, he di3d of sepsis, look it up and spend a little more time than just google or asking siri.

[@c.ostriker5572]

Let's keep this CORE REAL. Morrison was never going to be nothing more than a good B level fighter in spite of his left hook. He has THREE Things going against him. A very poor chin, lack of proper stamina and a very substandard defense. In the heavyweight division lacking either of these is a serious liability. Lacking all 3 is a recipe for eventual disaster and glorified club fighter status. He was NEVER going to beat Tyson, Lewis, Bowe, Tua, Holyfield or ANY of the top rung upper echelon heavyweights of that era for those very reasons. He struggled to beat an old Foreman, whom in reality he SHOULD have been able to KO, given Morrisons size, youth and power. But Morrison who suffered stamina issues, barely got across the finish line gasping for breath against a 40 plus Foreman. Once he was waxed by Mercer he was DONE as a SERIOUS threat and that was cemented in his stunning loss to the journeyman and unheralded Michael Bent who took Morrison out in less than 2 rounds. Lennox Lewis toyed with him and finished off what was left. Tommy was fine beating a slew of has beens and C Level fodder but the truth ALWAYS comes out when a fighter has to step up and face the big guns. Then he either gets exposed or he passes the test and keeps going up to the top to attain the prize. No amount of what ifs, maybes etc.....changes the REALITY that Morrison lacked the 3 most important qualities I mentioned earlier. If anyone takes exception to what I'm saying all I can say is : COPE.
