Tommy Gunn passed away

Tommy Morrison, who played "Tommy Gun" in Rocky V, the up and coming boxer that Rocky trained, passed away late last night. They didn't release a cause, but he was only 44, and was diagnosed with AIDS in the mid-90's. He was Heavyweight champ of the world for a short spell after beating George Foreman.

RIP Tommy

He was related to John Wayne, grandnephew I believe.

I didn't know that until I read some more articles last night. I suppose that's why his nickname was "The Duke".
