  I use to really keep up with boxing back in the day and this guy for quite a stretch was a beast. The called him "The Duke" and man he was tough...

 

 

 

  Tommy Morrison, the former heavyweight champion who stood toe-to-toe with Lennox Lewis and George Foreman and later tested positive for HIV, died Monday. He was 44.

 

  Morrison died Sunday night at a Nebraska hospital, said Tony Holden, his longtime promoter and close friend. The family would not disclose the cause of death.

Yup guy from Rocky 5. He got AIDS mid 90's and dropped of the face of the earth.

 Yeah he literally vanished one day after the aids thing..

 

This guy was 44? God, he looks like shit in this photo, I know he was boxer and all but still http://ringtalk.com/1-boxer-tommy-morrison-near-death-from-arc-of-aids

 

I read that for a long time, he believed his original test in 1994 was a false positive. 

Wow he really did look bad..
