Tommy Morrison will forever remain one of the most tragic figures throughout pugilistic history. In the 90s the blond giant with a chiseled silhouette was the embodiment of a knockout machine. But the prominent heavyweight’s career was cut short in the prime of his potential, suddenly and irrevocably. Today we remember the legendary power and dramatic path of boxing’s “great white hope”.

Morrison did not and by far have more power than Tyson.
No matter how good a fighter is even Bruce Lee could not defeat his own death.
A Man I never forget 👌❤️😓❣️
And AIDS
I remember seeing T-Gunn fight back in the day. I didn't know he had sons that are fighters.
Great fighter but that statement is ridiculous tyson he never was and never could be by writing that title your obviously not a boxer or know of boxing unless its on paperview he could have been boxing great on his own level but his personalife destroyed him as for tyson if he would have stepped in the ring with him his career would have been even shorter
okeeeeeee🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Why is this guy loved (white hope? Did the idiot say that)?
This idiot was full of steroids and jeopardised peoples life’s hitting them.
Don’t compare that bum to Tyson
One of the few times I went to a bar with friends to watch a fight was the Morrison vs Mercer one. Morrison hit Mercer with everything and couldn't knock him out then appeared to run out of gas. What Mercer did to him was brutal and I will always hate the ref, Carlos Padilla, for not stopping it.
If he'd left the women and the drugs alone he could have had an undefeated career
sex drug and rokn roll brings aid
Who did he ever fight in the top 10?
Rip champ.
Why is every white fighter called "The Great White Hope?" It's stupid and annoying.
How come u didn't show how Mercer destroyed him. Hmmmm
Damn, RIP man.
What was the actual cause of death?
Tommy "The Machine" Gunn !!!
Not much of a sport
In a man's youth, no matter how much physical and mental strength he possesses, and no matter what success and accomplishments he achieves, when his life is finally over, it will have been for nothing, just chasing the wind.
rip tommy gunn
R.I.P. Tommy Morrison…sometimes the hardest punches are not thrown by you…
They are thrown at you by the life you choose to lead.
Talents like Morisson would only stand a chance if he got married and lived within the protective cocoon of the family. If you go out every night and sleep with different women you dont stand a chance for the top. Champions should live like Monks if they want to last. A very good example is Rocky Marciano who got married at the age of 27. He finished undefeated.
👍👍👍👍👍
Definitely an anomaly
He would have beat Tyson like hamburger
28 Fights in 2 years… and yet it's been nearly a year since any of the major heavy weights of today has fought.
a nobody boxing nobodies…
Is that why he was not world heavyweight champion at 20 yrs old like Tyson
Boxing. One of the oldest combat sports and IMHO clearly one of the most effective/proven. For the "best hands/body movemnt" I don' t think there is a better "martial art" (which is any art practiced over and ove…not just "kung fu" or JP matial arts like Karate).
Look at al the boxers who transitioned to MMA…they were pretty much unstopable…even the boxers with "so so talent like Holy Holm…made then 13x UFC champ Rhonda Rousey look clumsy and like an amateur…once hit to the head…with that "deer in the headlights look…you mean they can stike my head??"….
Western boxing PLus Wrestling )roman Grecco)…unstoppable. Oddly no MMA fighter has this combo and background…Randy Couture had College Wrestling but didn't ahve "Pro boxing skils" (on the level of a name WBC champion…or Golden Gloves champ..)…
My high school science teach said a "good boxer should be able to hit a non trainex boxer at will…never see the punches coming.."..i velieve that. Trained not to telegraph punches …which many MA do….heh…
Mais quelle tristesse ça me fend le coeur
Absolutely terrific vidio !!!! Thank you for a stunning half hour of imaginings boxing clips .
he was also a very big bigot
Such a shame, really is a sad moment in boxing, Tommy def had the power, no doubt, absolutely, such a tragic end for a giant in the sport.
I'm sure all the big heavy weights would agree, Tommy had it, and he was rising to great heights.
TAKE balls to step the heavy weights ring, people for some don't realise what it must feel like being hit by one these guys, they ain, t screwing around, its all or nothing, respect to that, miss Tommy RIP BROTHER, SAD DAY IN BOXING 👍👌
Sorry Tommy, yyour with Jon Wayne I, m sure. We really Miss, a Titan in boxing, no one can take that from you, taken too soon, RIP BROTHER 💪
thats pam's fiance from the office
Just to write more power than tyson in the title, should flag your video as harassment, fraud, sexual content…even antisemitism 😂
His left hook was unbelievable.
First 11 months as pro 18 wins. So why heavyweights today say need 3+4 months training camp. What load bull just fight if ya good enough you win you don't then tough. Lucky fight once year now heavyweights
Some never mentioned, Tyson was in prison during the peak of Tommy's career.
Jerk who couldn't handle being in the light..if he was all that why didn't he go to the Olympics 🎉
I am one of those who did not know that he is a real boxer. I saw him in the movie Rocky, but fell in love with him so much when I found out he was a real boxing champ.
If he had not been infected with all this bad false test that destroyed his future and his life. My heart broke for him. rest in peace
(Tommy Morrison)
REST IN PEACE..
H.I.V..SHAME..
