For some reason, AIDS does seem to have fallen off the radar in recent years. Just don't hear too much about it these days. I'm sure it's still a problem but not the cause celebre it used to be amongst the cocktail party set. I guess the "global warming" baloney must have pushed it off to the side.

Anyway, it seems to have done a number on this ex-boxer. That gaunt photo of him makes him look like 65 and he was probably still around 40 when the photo was taken. Does anybody know how he contracted HIV? Nothing in his bio suggests he was into homosexuality.

True, but they were screaming just as loudly about Global Warming and that the earth is dooooooooooomed back in '92. That was the year of Al Gore's "Earth in the Balance".

Perhaps the "AIDS crisis" was replaced by liberals screaming about embryonic stem cells having the power to magically cure everything. They didn't have that card in early 90s. I love how they all scream we "hate science" and yet haven't figured out that science ALREADY proved they were on the "wrong side of history" with the embryos=cure! propaganda.

One of the reasons I don't buy any of this liberal fear mongering hysteria is they convinced us kids that everyone would be dead "by the year 2000" anyway.

Anyway, I don't even recongize that guy from his "Rocky V" days:

According to him at the time he led a “permissive, fast, and reckless lifestyle”.

A man can get it from a woman it’s just not as likely. He seems like the kind of guy who would use hookers. Drugs is also possible I guess, I don’t know if they drug tested boxers back then.
