IRON MIKE

For some reason I have been thinking about sportsman and woman who through some fault be it their own or managers, family etc etc have blown up on our screens.

There are alot of them, Herschelle may be falling into that category but he is almost past it. Anyway. No one sportsman story is more tragic than another perhaps due to the nature of life not everyone is cut out to handle the pressure's being in the limelight brings. Gazza clearly loved football and drink but perhaps if he had been better managed would still be contributing. Is life's plan set out for some to fail in order to allow others to see their failures as examples. Ryan Giggs was on a fast track to nowhere at one stage and thanks to his manager he was able to turn it all around.

But for me the King of Sporting Tragedies has to go to my Iron Mike Tyson, now I can hear woman all over the world clamouring on to soap boxes and shouting billy, but I am not talking about his record with woman rather his record in the ring.

Mike Tyson was frightening, watch the video, granted its ten minutes but trust me it brings back all the horrors he inflicted on his opponents. He was brutal bordering on psychotic at times. I truly believe the man was carrying some demons from a hectic past. No one is that angry. At stages in his career and perhaps I am no boxing guru but their were times people feared getting into the ring with him. Imagine the mentality of having to confront someone like that in a small ring. You are walking wounded. Good luck mate.

Well I could go on all day about the man, rather watch the clip and remember how much he entertained you.

I will be looking into Gazza soon...
