Say what you like about Tommy Morrison but he had a great record, 52 fights, 48 wins, 42 wins by K.O and only 3 losses and 1 draw. That’s damn good by anyone’s standards.

Tommy ran everyday at the same track in my hometown. He literally went from nothing to fame back to nothing. Sad story. Rest In Peace Tommy.

At the height of his stardom Tommy took the time to write me a letter of encouragement after I sustained an injury and subsequent surgery from boxing. He was a good man. Flawed but who isn't?!

Tommy was an absolute beast. Unfortunately his career went down hill after a tough loss to Balboa in a street fight.

Tommy didn’t have a weak chin, he was hit by some of the hardest hitters ever He survived against George Foreman....

“Tragic tale of Tommy Morrison” 30 seconds in “imagine if you got ass cancer from being too lazy to squat” 🤦🏼‍♂️😂

He held the WBO heavy weight title in 1993, three years after Rocky 5. That's a huge accomplishment even if it was brief.

I met Tommy and his then wife years ago on a cruise to the Caribbean. Literally hung out with him all week. My whole life I was a big bodybuilder and thats how we got talking. Tommy was an extremely nice guy - as well as being very generous. He actually spent about $1,000 in a casino teaching me how to play blackjack. He did party his ass off as well. I carried him to his room a few late nights that week. I asked him point blank about being HIV and he said getting syringes was hard back then and he used to inject steroids and he and a few of his gym buddies would share needles. At the end of the week we swapped info and for quite some we called each other or wrote letters. Very cool guy and definitely had some demons

Tommy Morrison fought 7 rounds with a broken jaw and still beat George Foreman. Correction Joe Hipp

Literally. One of the saddest sports stories ever. RIP TOMMY " THE DUKE" MORRISON

I dont really like when Joe talks fighting with guys who know almost nothing about it.

I met Tommy Morrison in 2003 at a night club I was bouncing at in Hattiesburg, MS. His wife's best friend was getting deployed from camp shelby and they came to see her off. We hung out and drank with him all night, super nice guy.

I went to school with Tommy's two sons, I remember seeing him come into the student center before he passed. Both of his sons are boxing now and both undefeated.

"Chicken of boxing" guy won a world title in a very hard era! And beat some good guys man.

Tommy “the Duke” Morrison will be remembered in my mind as a great pro boxer, the duke had the potential to have been much better then he was. Which says a lot about the dukes awesome boxing skills while focused, an no matter how great your skills are you have to take care and love yourself. Which not many do

“Imagine being so lay you don’t do squats “ As he talks to two overweight people 🤣

ESPN did a 30 for 30 documentary on Tommy Morrison. It was very good.

Tommy Morrison is under rated

Tommy Morrison I respect I feel for him and his family I followed him for a lot of years throughout his career from the toughman contest and through his prime a monstrous left hook he was born with tremendous speed tremendous talent a tremendous natural to acting on this big screen he was offered a four picture deal after Rocky v you turned it down to maintain his career in boxing lightning fast. Tremendous power and both hands it hurts my heart to know he did not get to to fill his career as he wanted his two sons are keeping the legacy alive I watched their videos highly impressive rest in peace great warrior for you are missed for your legacy lives on God bless

Why has nobody made a biopic about Tommy yet? Would make an amazing yet depressing film

I was a bartender at a nightclub in Biloxi, Ms and Tommy was in town for a week for a fight. He came in the club every night and could barely walk because the women were all over him. He was jacked af and looked like a golden god but was really down to earth and treated everybody like a friend. He drank like a fish and would be wasted by closing time which was 2:00 am. He drank double gin and orange juice. Can't imagine how horrendous his hangovers had to be. Easy to understand how he came down with hiv and stds. The women went insane over him.

"Imagine getting ass cancer because you're too lazy to do squats..." LMAO

When I was in junior high and high school I did golden gloves. I worked out at a gym called "Bell recreation center" in Kansas City, Kansas this would have been when Tommy had about 3-4 pro fights under his belt. Tommy was the only pro fighter that worked out there, and him being from Jay, Oklahoma where my grandfather grew up we kind of hit it off, I was like 14-15 y.o. he helped me develop my left hook (I'm a southpaw) he was just a regular guy, that happened to be able to knock a guy's head clean off their body. Here is a bit of trivia you might not know. At 13 Tommy was competing, at the adult level, in tough man competitions and beating grown ass men. My personal feelings are that he had the absolute best left hook in the heavyweight division period full stop. It is just sad and tragic that he let the partying lifestyle kill his dreams.

Thank you so much for remembering the forgotten heroes

Tommy had a hell of a left hook

Morrison was a fuckin beast.... super tough... never seen another with his power and agility in the post 90 era

I wanted the Tyson vs. Morrison fight so bad! He deserves respect due a champ one of the greatest left hooks in boxing.

Well said joe. Tommy was a tough , talented fighter who sadly just lost it and never recognized his true potential.

Tommy was a good friend of mine. We have a video on you tube together working mitts at my old condo.. He had it all and lost it all in such little time..but he was honestly one of the nicest dudes ever..and had tremendous punching power. When I had him over I made him a dozen and a half eggs, bacon and almost an entire loaf of bread. Then not even an hour after that wanted to go to Dominos. Lol He gladly met a few of my friends with open arms and we had great times together. Miss him dearly

That Mercer KO was absolutely brutal. Morrison was out on his feet after a left connected and then ate 10 more shots before the ref stepped in. That ref should have been banned from boxing after that.

I'm sitting here, reading the comments. There are so many people saying how Tommy was a polite, generous guy and that makes me happy. The only person he ever abused was himself. May he rest in peace, my favorite fighter.

One of the best left hooks in boxing

Joe seems to have watched every boxing match ever with Kevin James.

Joe, by the way, Tommy was a HW champ. He and Foreman fought for the vacated WBO. He won another belt too.

Meet Tommy under some circumstances I won't get into. But I did put a big smile on his face when I reacted Rocky's line to him. "Hey yo, Tommy I thought we was brothers" meet him in Sevierville Tennessee

When Joe brought up George Foreman, one of the other guys should've said "George Foreman was 76 years old when they fought!"

"Aye, yo, Tommy... I didn't hear no bell."

Watching people watch something while they talk about what they’re watching but you can’t watch is literally torture

Tommy Morrison was a beast, also I live in the same city as Tim Silvia and can confirm he wore his belt everywhere, even to the grocery store.

I recommend watching a documentary on Tommy Morrison. His story is pretty incredible. Guy was a savage in his youth, and fell hard.

Boxing fans: What a train wreck Mike Tyson was! Tommy Morrison: Hold my beer!

"Touch me and I'll Sue"

I can listen to Joe Rogan talk about fighting all day

When he talks boxing its a beautiful thing

Tommy has been one of my favorite fighters since I've seen Rocky V. Had one of the greatest left hooks in boxing history!

“This guy should.” ....that was savage asf lmao

The mercer ko was one of the nastiest ko's I had ever seen before mvp got knocked out

TM had one of THE BEST left hooks ever in Boxing!!!

So Tommy basically played himself in Rocky 5.

Seeing Ari at 0:02 thinking it was Joe Rogan legit startled the shit outta me.

Thank god Joe at least knows what he is talking about…. These other clowns have no business talking about boxing when they haven’t got a clue about it! Tommy was not only a complete savage in the ring, dude was a humble, hard working guy. Big up Joe for being the only one to say anything credible

One of the best left hooks in the game the man was a legend.

1:40 "This guy should" LOL what a savage response

Wow. This really saddens me. I was just talking about Tommy Morrison the other day and was wondering about what he was up to nowadays. Had no idea that he lost that badly and fell off the deep end. Wasn't a big fan of Rocky V but Tommy did do a good job playing the bad guy in the end. Really sad to hear how his life ended :(

Tommy Morrison was phenomenal in Rocky V absolutely brilliant

I got to meet Tommy Morrison (We’re both from Tulsa). One of the greatest experiences of my life. He was a truly sweet guy. He also gave me some good life advice about Drugs, Unprotected Sex, and Ego.

A lot of people overlook it, but Tommy fought a really smart bout against Foreman and actually looked like a solid boxer. Just one more lessen, in this sport, of what could have been. The history of boxing is littered with such lessons.

“I didn’t hear no bell”

Brothers in arms . RIP TOMMY

Tommy Morrison was an amazing fighter.lets remember him that way .the man was such a powerhouse he was competing in fights when he was a young teenager against adults and whooping their ass.They need to make a movie about his life

Tommy Morrison had one of the best left hooks in boxing at that time.

I met Tommy Morrison's best friend about 7 years ago...he was my weed man for a good 2 years. He told me all kinds of fucked up shit that happened to Tommy. Met tommy a few times, boxed at his gym here in Wichita a time or 2. He tried to recruit me but I was well past wanting to be a boxer anymore. He seemed like a nice guy. RIP Tommy

Have seen every Morrison fight possible. Was so bummed when he had his first loss and of course his KO loss to Mercer too. Kind of figured he would lose to Lewis. Was a huge fan of Tommy's. #TCB

Every boxing fan would do themselves a world of good learning about Tommy. Its a heartbreaking story

I grew up in KCMO and I was able to witness Tommy spar @ authentic boxing club. His punches sounded like fastballs at a MLB game. He had great combinations, especially body to head. My dad was a veteran and befriended his chief sparring partner, Brian " BamBam " Scott. I won't bother with the negative talk about HIV,partying, etc. Tommy is a product of the game. I felt like he was a wasted potential, but I am grateful that I got to witness him in his prime.

It's a tragic story, but at the same time he hid his disease and went on to compete against people who had no idea of the risk they were taking. Luckily no one he faced contracted the virus, but that's still inexcusable.

As a teen Tommy was my favorite boxer next to Tyson..I can still remember watching the Mercer fight live and being like that's not supposed to happen ha

One very underrated boxer

"You knock him down, why don't you try knockin me down now".

That's got nothing on the tragic tale of Darth Plagueis the wise

Love it when comics sit around Joe Rogan and start to act n talk tough

Highly entertaining boxer. Fun time to watch the Heavyweights. RIP.

My dad was a teacher in Jay, Ok in the early 90s. A friend of my dad’s was good friends with Tommy Morrison.

Tommy Morrison is the perfect example of having it all to losing it all that quickly.

"This guy should" I am dying 😂🤣

Tommy was a great boxer it’s tragic what happened to him

-"Daddy, we love you, please talk to us,tell us your last words, at least tell us one word". - "JAAAAAAACKED".

Reznik did a great little tribute video called Tommy Morrison - The Rising Sun. The Grave shots are sad. Gone too soon, Duke. His life could be made into a Hollywood movie. Supposedly related to John Wayne, girls getting his number, two wives, steroid use (he wasn't the only one..) and was in a Hollywood picture.

This reminds me of the barber shop from coming to America

Probably the best left hook ever

I love the podcast. Show what your talking about so we can actually see it too. Carry on.

Tommy stopped taking his HIV medication and started to party again that was his down fall. If he'd of taken care of himself he might still be here.

The duke, legend; what a left hook , even that right hand as well

I loved Tommy. He was a great fighter and by all accounts he was a great guy as well. Joe knows he was a great boxer and the other two tool bags need to shut it. It was a very sad ending for Tommy and extremely tough to watch him fade away from that awful disease.

Man my pecs are sore AF cos I got back to the gym, Monday was my first day back. So the idea of someone patting my chest is enough to make me cry.

Tommy had 4 negative test after originally testing positive and there has been a case opened March this year

Morrison was so fun to watch and if you listen to him he seemed like a good dude.

I was on true life...homeless youth..they followed us around when we broke down on dead tour 2009

I remember seeing that movie and we all loved the Tommy Gun character

So these GOOFs didnt realize how good of a fighter Tommy was? wow

I love Rocky 5, and Tommy is a big reason for that he is awesome in it

Klitsko even complimented on how powerful Ray Mercer was despite Mercer being passed his prime.

The darkest secret in boxing history

One of my favourite fighters of all time, that mercer fight was baaaaaad

World champion tommy duke morrison WBO and IBC one of the top boxer in the 90s rip tommy duke morrison

Tommy Morrison was the second biggest waste of raw talent and potential in heavyweight boxing. He had top tier fundamental skills, great flexibility, fluidity, balance, timing and coordination. he had other worldly knockout power in both hands, and his left hook was probably the greatest of all time. He knew how to throw that damn left hook, both long range and short range. A superb offensive fighters(one of the greatest in terms of offensive capability). What he did not have were the three D's- discipline, direction and dedication to his craft. Tommy loved to party, and he partied all the time. He never focused after a point, on boxing. He partied literally all day, all year, and it not only stunted and eventually stopped his career, but it also killed him. Its just such a sad story. He could have been so great!

Morrison had an impressive record : 52 fights, 49 wins

Rocky 5 was awesome. Nothing beats a good street fight!!!

I had the detail with Tommy and Stallone when in Philly, Sly is a total nice person.

“This guy should” is the funniest thing Iv ever heard and idk why 🤣
