Chameleon Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 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.
