    Still haven’t seen Tommy Morrison on here. He went SDA for a while. He was a late 1980s “great-white-hope” boxer who claimed to be a grandnephew of John Wayne and famously developed HIV. He later died of AIDS. The general public might remember him as “Tommy Gunn” in one of the later Rocky movies
