Magic Disagrees With Morrison

Compiled From Wire Services

Magic Johnson, for one, believes Tommy Morrison should stay retired.

Morrison announced Thursday he will return to the ring for the first time since testing positive for HIV when he appears on the undercard of the George Foreman-Crawford Grimsley bout Nov. 3 in Tokyo.

“After talking to my doctors, which is where I get my information from, I feel that he shouldn’t be doing it because it’s a blood sport,” Johnson was quoted as saying in the Los Angeles Times. “If something were to happen, it would set the fight (against HIV and AIDs) back five to 10 years.”
