Tommy Morrison To Make Comeback Against Mike Tyson?

Morrison, who tested positive in 1996 for HIV, thus ending his boxing career, mentioned in a recent interview that he wants to fight again, possibly against Mike Tyson. You can see the original blurb at the Philadelpia Daily News site and more of what I think at Sportsocracy

Is this just some idiot reporter sensationalizing or can this guy really fight again?

He cant be serious if he wants to fight Tyson. Tyson is a walking sideshow in himself. So if for some reason a state boxing commision did sanction this fight it would be closer to boxing celeberties than an actual match that counts for something.

And we're talking 10 years since his last fight so this is just someone begging to get hurt. Though Tyson is a shell of the fighter he once was, he has at least been active. It MAY be different if Tommy Morrison was one of the great fighters of his day but for all intents and purposes he was an also-ran. Foreman came back after a long layoff, but Foreman was and is an all-time great. And if there is any sport where blood exchanges could occur, it would be boxing. If he's still HIV positive, is this even worth talking about?
