WICHITA, Kan. - Former heavyweight boxing champion Tommy Morrison is in a Kansas jail on drug charges, the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office said Friday.
Morrison, 42, made an initial court appearance Thursday on two charges - possession of marijuana after a previous conviction, a felony, and possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor. His bail is set at $50,000.
The former Jay, Okla., resident was charged April 27, court records show.
Morrison was extradited to Kansas from Tennessee this week, officials said. Morrison's previous conviction stems from a 2005 South Dakota drug arrest.
Morrison's preliminary hearing is set for Sept. 29, and details of the charges will remain confidential until then, officials said.
A financial affidavit from Morrison states that he is married and lives inPigeon Forge, Tenn., and that he has no savings or property, the Wichita Eagle reported.
On a court document, on the line asking for his occupation, he wrote "athelete," the newspaper reported.
Morrison started his boxing career in "toughman" contests in Jay and fought his way to the top in 1993 by defeating George Foreman for the World Boxing Organization heavyweight title.
He went on to star in "Rocky V" and made several television appearances.
In 1996, it was reported that Morrison had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
He has been convicted numerous times of alcohol, assault, drug and weapons crimes and spent 14 months in an Arkansas prison, reports indicate.

That really sucks. His father lives (or at least used to) out here and Tommy used to attend the same NA meetings that I used to go to. He stayed clean for a long time but I guess he really fell off the wagon again.
-
Holy shit! It looks nothing like the last time I seen him. I watched part of Rocky 5 last week and was wondering it he was still alive considering his disease and all. It is like he has totally given up on life since he caught HIV.

how did he get the HIV?

He had sex with your father.

It's public knowledge that he was in and out rehab several times. He IS a public figure.

I was looking up the cause of his HIV and here is what I found and many other links supporting it. Not sure if it is true though.
Response from Dr. Pierone
Tommy Morrison retired from boxing in 1995 because of a positive HIV test performed by the Nevada Athletic Commission before a scheduled fight. He re-emerged in 2006 after finding that the 1995 result was a false positive test. It is surprising that he could have gone 10 years before finding out about this false positive result, but sometimes events like this occur. He recently had to submit blood tests for HIV antibody and antigen testing and he was cleared to box so the results were negativ

He's now a 65-year old Black guy!? :-\

How is anyone surprised by this sort of shit anymore?
A lot of athletes/celebs come from shady backgrounds & during their glory years, are surrounded by leeches who give shitty advice. It's the natural order of things for them to go back to the streets and hit rock bottom.

its god's punishment for rocky vee

This sounds very unlikely. HIV positives are tested all the time.

It was once asked "Do getbiggers start bar fights"?
Yes.
We start bar fights then have 90 seconds of unprotected, selfish sex with the hot bartender under a table while others smash each other with chairs and bottles.
After finishing inside the bar wench arse, we emerge to kick the shit out of the toughest 3 bar patrons still standing.
Finally, we attempt to pay our tab, only to have it picked up by some unverifiable celebrity pick up the tab and give us a thumbs up. We do not tip.
We drive our BMWs home and post about it. End.

This sounds very unlikely. HIV positives are tested all the time.
Agreed.
Besides, even if the standard HIV test came out with a false positive, a western blot would have surely cleared things up, if not, they could have resorted to the old p24 antigen test which is pretty foolproof.

He had sex with your father.
then he prolly got the myiasis from yours, stud.

He never recovered from that beatdown Rocky handed him outside Mick's gym in Philly.
I am betting Rock got his Apollo boxing trunks back, too.

i don't see ANY resemblance between the guy they arrested and Tommy Morrison
I call some sort of shenanigans
some of you will say "Well, Yeah, he has HIV and is a drug addict who is down on his luck. That will make anyone change drastically"
Yes but most of the times you can tell by the eyes if two people are the same. The eyes don't match in this case

Damn.

He's now a 65-year old Black guy!? :-\
Yeah, that's what I thought!

Interesting(and by that I mean Bat Shit Crazy) interview excepts with Morrison-

Picture does look like him based on this Jan /11 snap shot-

-
He is a typical addict who is/was in complete denial of almost everything in his life. He wouldn't even admit to having HIV. Did everything he could to clean his blood out to get that one neg/test. He's in denial about his sexuality. Rumors were the guy banged drag queens by the dozen and shit. Now you know why Hollywood gave him a gig. He spent some time on someone's casting couch.
-
A face that looks 20 years older than it is, bald, addictive personality..
He could have been a pro bb. He missed his calling.
-
As a fighter he had an incredible punch. He just left himself completely open for a counter punch. He was so easy to hit. I used to watch him at the end of his career get knocked out by fighters because of his terrible defense.

Meth and booze can do that to a person in a 6 month period

Let's put him in prison for years since he's addicted to drugs.
That should solve everything, especially our financial woes.

He will learn many positive things in jail, many skills and probably never do drugs again.
When he gets out he will be 100% fine and ready to get a job and be fine in life!
-
The only reason he tested negative for HIV that one time is because of the retrovirals... ::) Then wanted to fight again to earn some $$$...
But who would still risk fighting an HIV+ fighter?

He's already been to prison, dumbass.

On a side note here is a phenomenal athlete whom in his prime was addicted to methamphetamine

Great idea to imprison guy who just took drugs. How many lifes are they gonna destroy before they legalize everything?

Tommy Morrison was as close to Tyson's offensive style as I've seen since the mid 80's from a power AND aggressiveness standpoint. Granted he is very much a poor man's Tyson when you are talking overall skill but Tommy had a BIG time left hook, I think Tua or Gerry Cooney level good. As an earlier poster stated, he simply took too many shots and his chin and HIV debacle really failed him towards the end.
But as far as a guy who could just go out there and put away another grown ass man away in a real hurry, Tommy ALWAYS had that and still does I'm sure.

For real?

For real?
"I used to do meth, and I have been through that stuff. There was a dark side to my life." The interview goes on to state that Morrison stopped using when he went to prison.
In fact, he served 14 months in prison for drugs and weapons charges in the early 2000s, talks of past methamphetamine binges, and was arrested on another drug charge as recently as last year. This is not a man who follows doctors’ orders.

"A week later, Fayetteville, Arkansas police stopped and searched Morrison's car after a near collision with a police cruiser. Morrison was allegedly intoxicated and driving without insurance, and the police found cocaine and marijuana, a weapon, and literature on methamphetamine production. "

LOL So true !!

just never struck me as the 'type', you know? maybe he was a junkie- got it from slamming with dirty needles? fucked if i know.
like when magic johnson tested positive- NOBODY even thought for a second he was gay or bi.
now, if our very own TA tested positive, it wouldnt come as much of surprise, and we'd all have a pretty good idea of how the little homo got it.

Tommy claimed it was from a reckless lifestyle i.e. unprotected sex and drugs
No way the guy was gay
Despite AIDS (the collection of diseases resulting from a deficient immune system) being called Gay Related Immune Deficiency (GRID) by the CDC prior to AIDS that doesn't exclude other means of transmission i.e. sharing needles and even unprotected heterosexual intercourse.
