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".

    Sometimes no matter how many fights a man has, his greatest battle is with himself.

    Morrison was legit , that era of Heavyweights was crazy
  • @Kadaf1
    He lived life in the fast lane but he was in his early 20s, being a top boxer and in a hit movie like Rocky I think many of us could have acted the same way. RIP Tommy

    Tommy is one of my favourites. A fast pace and go for broke fighter, he always gave your money's worth. One of the good boxers of the golden 90s. Rest in peace champ.
  • @EazzyBeezie
    I like the fact that he always knew when his opponent was down and never took a cheap shot.

    Addiction can derail any career. Tommy's story reminds me to be so grateful for my sobriety today. RIP brother!

    Wow, this channel really knows how to capture the essence of boxing legends, and the Tommy Morrison story is no exception. It's a poignant reminder that talent can shine incredibly bright but can also dim too soon. Morrison was a beast in the ring, a knockout machine that had fans on the edge of their seats. But his story also serves as a cautionary tale, a lesson about the fragility of life and how quickly fortunes can change. Thank you for doing justice to the complexity of his legacy. I'm eagerly waiting for your next deep dive into the universe of boxing history. 👊🌟

    To who ever took part producing this, Thank you for 26m:18s of amazing historic footage. To this day I never knew who Tommy Morrison was but I'm glad I now know his story and his struggle.

    I met tommy Morrison on the job in Atlantic city back in the early 1990's I was a blackjack dealer at harrahs casino. He played at my table in a disguise when I said hello he asked me to keep it quiet as guys were always challenging him. He was very calm and didn't bet a lot of money but seemed pretty normal. Other fighters I've met were bone crusher smith, vinny pazienza, get this Joe Frazier lived in my town. We've had drinks at the local bar where he had Joe Frazier night he would collect money for charity. he was a great guy, he had a lot of scars on his face and head.
  • He was a real class act! The way he doesn’t go beyond the knockout and just keep trying to hit. As soon as he saw they were done he walks away. Very professional. Love this dude, an outstanding fighter.

    The guy really had balls of steel, even fought Rocky Balboa in a street fight!
  • @chopper1168
    What a shame. Tommy was a pure beast. I remember watching his fights as a kid in the 80’s an90’s. His left hook was insane.
  • @av8r6969
    Rest in Peace, Tommy! You could have gone on to become the greatest of all time! 🙏❤

    Remember...we are all passing through in this life...we all take for granted everything when we are young...but when we get old...we realized what we have wasted in life. Nothing is permanent in this world...even this world is not permanent... And tomorrow may never come....take care....miss you Tommy and Ali.
  • @tonybp
    I miss that era of boxing. Brings back memories of watching all these boxers and fights with my dad. Prime Channel, USA Network Tuesday Night Fights, HBO of course, heck even ABC had fights now and then. Man, the nostalgia hits hard, like Tommy's left hook.

    He was so gifted… so sad that he went to the sweetest and more poisoned part of the life too soon and too alone despite of being surrounded by people everyday.
