Bad Choice!  Empty Bad Choice!

Post by Adam D Thu 5 Jan - 9:51

Just read this on the interweb:

Talk about having a death wish — TMZ has learned, some dumbass broke into Mike Tyson’s Vegas hotel room this weekend while the ex-boxing champ was sleeping … but lucky for the intruder, dude escaped before Tyson could break his face in.


Sources tell TMZ, Mike was staying at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Saturday night — where he and his fam crashed after attending Stevie Wonder’s New Year’s Eve concert.
We’re told Tyson was sleeping like a baby … when all of a sudden, he awoke to rustling sounds and saw a flashlight. But by the time Iron Mike realized what was happening, the intruder had already run out of the room.

According to sources, security at the hotel was called and they are currently investigating the situation. Nothing was reported stolen from the room.

A rep for the hotel tells TMZ, “We have received a report of an incident that is currently under investigation. As always, guest safety is of the utmost importance.”

So what other "bad choices" are you aware of in boxing?

Amir Khan's trainer recommending a fight with Prescott springs to mind, which led to his sacking!

Chuck Norris himself wouldn't pick a fight with 'Prime' Mike Tyson.

another tyson one - it was a mistake for bruno to face tyson straight after he won. he should have milked it with a non mandatory defence. (assuming tyson was mandatory).

bad choice for calzaghe to remain happy with the wbo run of defences. if he stepped up in class earlier, while he was in his prime, he would have been amazing.

Doesn't Chuck Norris check under his bed to make sure Mike Tyson isn't there?

I believe Bruno only got his (very much undeserved) shot at McCall's WBC title on the basis that he signed for a guaranteed defence against Tyson straight after, so sadly for Frank milking the title before strolling in to retirement wasn't an option, though it would have been nice!

Joe Frazier turned down a $4million payday against Ali to take on the little-known and unfancied Foreman for $800,000 instead - didn't work out too well!

I remember a story from Hungary. An 18 year old youf' littered right next to a bin. An old man of 80 requested the young chap retrieve his litter and put it in the bin.

Not surprisingly the young fellow refused and he promptly started verbally abusing the old guy.

Upon recieving this unwarranted abuse, the old guy sqaured up to the young guy, picked him up and put him in the bin. What the youth did not realise if that the old fella was an ex judo champ who had something like 6 dans.

Great story.

A few years back some idiot snatched a member of the US olympic team's handbag at the airport. I say idiot because she was stood next to Maurice Greene, at the time world's fastest man and quite a unit, needless to say he caught up in seconds flattened the guy and sat on him till the police arrived!

On more boxing related bad choices, some of Edwin Valero's actions are regretful to say the least!

Monzon seems to be given a pass these days and only his boxing is talked about, i don't think this will ever happen with Valero.

Indeed what was i thinking of!

On a serious note, like Giant says Monson appears to get an easy ride everywhere even though he was by all accounts a vile man, of no greater character than Valero!

A good choice would be a friend of mine was at an old nightclub thats shut down now in Belfast, but Eamonn Magee (first to floor Hatton & McCloskeys cornerman) was renouned for trying to start fights with people. He mouthed off to my mate who from ecstasy consumtion weighed about 8 and a half stone, he chinned Magee and had him sleeping for about 25 minutes.

He deserved it though.

Holyfields inability to purchase condoms is one surely?

What about the lout who was citizens arrested by the Lord of Brighton (Chris Eubank).

The biggest one which I was surprised hasn't been mentioned... De La Hoya + Strippers x Cocaine = Funtimes in fishnets.

I remember when I'd just moved to England and like with all American guys... all the British women want a piece of us red, white and blue star spangled beefster-adonis types..

Anyway one night I decided to oblige and slurped the lips off seven hot British chicks in front of their boyfriends...

Bad choice...If I'd kissed ten... it might have made it more interesting later..outside in the car park...

Any way all eight were waiting for me outside...nine right hands later all ten were on the ground....and the cost of the eleven bags of grapes when I visited them in their twelve hospital beds was extortionate!!!!..

Someone in Newcastle offered a bouner in Newcastle a fight, Sam Jacks ws the bar.

He was a big lad, mouthing off to the bouncer who was keeping his cool. The lad, strutting his stuff turned to his girlfriend to brag only to be met with a cheap shot which promptly knocked him out cold.

Bet he felt silly when he woke up.

The one he gave him in the mouth looked right good one. Some junkie had robbed my local shop when i went on the way home tonight, i'd like to see him try and rob the old boxer and not an old women.

Apparently in the biography "Hands of Stone" it tells a story of a 15 year old, 105lb Duran walking a girl home from a dance when five grown men attacked them. Naturally he promptly knocked out all five suffering only a broken hand in return and was arrested.

It sounds far fetched but Duran was an animal and said himself he was a better street fighter than he was a boxer.
