Had More Power Than Tyson... One Punch Knockouts and the True Story of Tommy Morrison 

Ego driven Rapist. He died how he should have. Too bad he took down women with him.

He was on Steroids and knew he had AIDS before turning Pro. Why would you glorify his crimes in the ring and celebrate his memory?? How many lives do u think he took with him between the women he infected and the CTE he likely dished out from the PED's?? Videos like this keep him alive for all the wrong reasons. He should be remembered with guys like Panama Jack - NOT MIKE TYSON!!!

Stop the lies Tyson would have crushed him like Aids did 😂😂

I don't know if he had more power than Tyson. Possibly more STD's but definitely the worst one 😂

A hard fought one, indeed...

Not sometimes, always. It's just that some people are more self-destructive.

Sad but true. It's the worlds temptations and desire, sin that we give into to fix the hurt rather than embracing it and using it to mold us into better men. There's one that roams the earth like a lion tempting us and looking to devour. He will offer you the world but of what gain is the world if you lose your soul? 1 Peter 5:8, KJV: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Pretty generic ngl lol

I think Sylvester Stallone dragging him into Hollywood in the prime of his career, ruined him! It derailed his career and exposed him to the vices of that seedy town!

I always think like that.

No, only a m@&$n acted that way. He didn’t know how to carry himself as a top figure athlete. He should have took care of his career and maintained his status. Later the women will come. He thought there won’t be enough women for him.

Always is ... 🤷🏽

But he also got surrounded by blood sucking leaches and despicable money grabbing scumbags. A familiar story when the wins and money roll in.

Money, Women after women.. alcohol and all .. I would've lost from the beginning

As Shakespeare said: "Be somebody...or Be somebody's fool"

Truly, the most perceptive comment! For all our actions whilst here on the spinning globe... there are consequences for every reaction... A sad shame for someone that had found fame AND Fortune... to not cap its reality, and calm down in appreciation... BUT, "Boys" will be boys... in empathy and sending condolences... this IS our chosen life... it is honestly a wake-up, in how to make life's best choices. YET, Another talent destroyed by flamboyance and false administered "Self-worth"... there is ALWAYS the retribution of "The balancing Act" that can NEVER be ignored! Sadly, he did! Choices, choices... everywhere, not all roads lead to Paradise! ...or to the Ultimate success, no matter WHAT you do, but this a fine example of what NOT to do!

Oh please everyman if has an opportunity is a whore so don't do that. Tommy just had way way more opportunities.

​@@marchicagonow this kid would have destroyed your beloved tyson

I sometimes wonder if people just listen to what they want. His life changed from the day he was misdiagnosed. HIV was a death sentence then and didn't justify the life he lived because of that, but no one has the right to judge another, especially the dead.

nothing today in combat sports can compare to it.

It was rumored he got HIV from sleeping around with alot of different women when he was boxing. I don't know how he got it but in the end it did kill him even if he was in denial about having it.

Tysons career was also infected by addictions

God bless

Amazing work indeed 🤌🏼

Well said, my friend. You can tell this guy has a real respect for the sport and awesome skill and bravery of some of these fighters.

Great Show!

I noticed that too.

Yep. It was a courtesy his opponents didn't always return - as in Ray Mercer.

@@ralphcantrell3214 the ref for sure should have stepped in.. its their job to stop the fight.

@@ralphcantrell3214 I always had a deep respect for the way Tommy never took advantage of an opponent, he had total natural strength, and he knew when an opponent was done. Unlike the dirty Mercer, who wanted to give Tommy brain damage.

@@Rondigity92 He went blind, and let Mercer TEE OFF on Tommy's face 8 or 9 times AFTER he was knocked out cold as a cucumber.

Tommy Morrison himself never knew who he was.

Like Jim Lampley said in the Michael Bent loss' Tommy has been plagued by a weak chin". I never forgot that iconic line.

Nice read brother Not sure if you remember a guy called Jeff Harding the Australian light heavyweight world champ .Guys also wanted to fight him after he gave boxing away. Unfortunately for Jeff he turned into a drunk Could never understand why a person would want to fight a drunk especially a fighter of his calibre .A sad demise on Jeff's behalf but those guys giving it to him in bars were not men cowards Got off track a little this is about Tommy died so young .Gee he had a great left .RIP mate.

@@darren5971 That's the truth. They wanted their little story time and claim to fame but we all know fighting drunk isn't fighting anywhere near 100'%.

ah the good old days. I was a poker dealer in las vegas, met Tyson twice over a couple of years. most genuine guy i have ever talked to. Met Ali too in Vegas, but he was chased by paparazzi, so couldn't get a signature. Good times

@@darren5971 wow

He was at war with his AIDS disease. Got to watch out what hookers/escorts/ drugs people do when theyre rich and famous. Unfortunately has catastrophic consequences.

Can you answer in more detail?

@@ChristopherAllford you just set up your account today i see. What details do you need exactly there new account dude.

Had more power than Tyson lmfao

He fought guys knowing he could give them aids.. .. A dirtbag

They already said that

Logan,jake, and KSI will be down in A minute. Mayweather be like nope. Knowing them they would take the Match.

Tyson fury would retire from boxing If he was still around.🤣 He might go a few rounds with Tommy tho. Fight of the year.

I didn't see the precision in Tommy that I did in Iron Mike, but that being said it isn't always necessary: Gene Fullmer beat Ray Robinson twice (plus 1 loss add 1 draw), and Sugar Ray way by far the more polished and precise boxer. I felt like Tommy never was the same after the Mercer fight. I think he sufdered actual brain damage. I was shocked he wasn't killed. I maintain to this day that the ref should have stopped it sooner. He was criminally derilect in letting any fighter take that kind of pummelling. To a casual fan ot would have seemed like a good shellacing, but I know a lot of boxing officials who were swearing at the TV by the time Morrison stunbled out of the corner, still taking Mercer's best shots to the head.

@@nehemiahpouncey3607 a minute? how about first seconds

he was born Jan 2, 1969

Did he have HIV or that was bullshit? Do you know how he died? That’s terrible either way, I never realized how good he was until now. Almost could’ve fought Tyson.

@@BaldandInsecure183. Him and Tyson were actually relatively simular in style and physic, but I would have bet on prime Tyson in a fight.

@@BaldandInsecure183. He did have HIV and died of an AIDS related illness. He slept with a lot of women but I find it inconceivable that’s how he got it. Unless they were hookers maybe. Not sure if he injected any drugs.

@@BaldandInsecure183. he had hiv and claimed false positives through testing. He eventually fessed up and died from it.

I remember watching Holyfield vs. Tyson, had a whole group of people drove hours to come see it. Lasted like like 5 minutes and ended in disqualification... Great fights, but not a great time for sportsmanship. Although I guess there was always a darkside to every sport, boxing just really hit a rough patch there. Not many idols to look up to, regardless of their talent. Also kind of sad his nickname was "The Great White Hope", I'm not sure it's touched on here since I've only started it, but there was a lot of racism back then and 100 percent that's what that title was referring to. A lot of racism today too, but it was very common from my experience to see people explicitly rooting for their race to win the fight. Which is just such a stupid, pathetic piece of of human culture. Like it means anything.

I thought his mentor was rocky Balboa

@nikkipacheco6835 if he only could've been so lucky to be Tommy Gunn in real life..Rocky warned him about GW Duke and the gold digging red-headed tramp..then beat sense into him via a commuter bus and Sent to jail as a lesson..then JUST MAYBE his life turns out differently- in all seriousness, may he 🙏 RIP

yeah high probably i would say at least so far but a puncher against a puncher who is a little faster or a little faster and a little more range or just a little faster and harder single explosive punch/s , even he have less kondition , is in a knockout boxing match that e.g. after regulation 10 rounds a 3min in advantage btw he have a good physique but he is not so quite strong in his strokes and he is also not quite as strong at his arms and shoulders (at least so far not so much musclemass there) but he is already strong and athletically and have good potencial in terms of movement and also quite enduring from the system her and at least from the physical point of view comperatively good abilitys to box intelligent moreof a mixture of a puncher and a athlete , more of a allrounder then an pure boxer

I agree. Tommy needed an Angelo Dundee.

He probalbly had good mentors but didn't want to listen. This happens to many athletes when the reach the top.

If that was these days he’d be a billionaire haha

tough IRISHMAN boxer

He was an amazing fighter, but he gave up all that when he chose to fight in the ring and risked so many lives when he knew he was HIV positive. its a bloody sport. He avoided those blood tests for several years. so no one would find out. that was very sad.

It was proven after his death that he had been tested many times and knew he was Hiv positive and choose to deny it.He had even said His didn't cause Aids and said that nobody died from it.He was a good boxer but didn't have any defense .He didn't protect himself in and outside of the ring.He took way too many risking in his life and had unprotected sex.He gave many woman Aids. He was not the best person and only thought about himself.He was fun to watch but after found out about his life and the details .I lost all respect for him.John Wayne's family said Tommy was not related to him. It is hard to respect a person that has no character and can't tell the truth.Later ..@@melisachuman9216

He kinda looked like Tyson when he'd knock someone down, that little half step, a glance back at his opponent. And the 10 count

Yeah. I noticed that. A gentle grace and respect for his opponent. Never tried to actually kill them.

Yeah.his step pivot back to his corner was dope .🥊

He was a really hard puncher, but he was never "the best at his profession". He was not even a top 5 Heavyweight at any point in his career. I loved Tommy Morrison, and was crushed when he lost to that asshole Ray Mercer. But I would never go as far to say he was the best. I do admit I would've loved to see a prime Morrison vs. prime Tyson though. I think a prime Tyson would win early because pre Douglas, Mike had a good chin, and could have likely absorbed Tommy's big punches or would have not been hit with his head movement, bobbing and weaving. I could easily see Mike putting The Duke down with one punch though. Perhaps an uppercut like he put Jose Ribalta down with or a devastating overhand right like he put Larry Holmes down the first time with. The difference is, Ribalta and Holmes, especially Holmes, had a granite chin. Tommy Morrison's chin was always like a fine piece of china.

@@reneep9972 well said. I love how the Tyson haters claim Tommy would beat Mike because he lost to Mercer and Tyson never fought him. The fact is Tyson and Mercer weren’t really the same generation, Mercer just wasn’t there yet.

@@reneep9972 I wish we got to see one fight in the early 90's between Tyson and Morrison --- Tyson probably woulda won but I think if Tommy got in a few of those devastating lefts then I think Iron Mike woulda hit the canvas and went to sleep! Oh man, that fight would been so huge.

Never the best at any moment. I find nothing inspiring about the Tommy Morrison story.

@@trickyBasterd Ok, maybe not the best, but competing against the top fighters.

Some say he had the the best left hook in boxing. A shame we never saw him get to his full potential. Or maybe we did. Maybe that was it. Either way, a shame how his career went.
