    Well?

    To start off with:

    You blow a probable Olympic Gold, by missing a bus....

    A seven fight novice beat arguably the best Heavyweight ever...

    Your Mother attack your opponent, and you get the DQ win...

    Frank Sinatra only be a photographer....

    A Fanman land in the biggest fight of the year....

    A complete scumbag, redeem himself with an Oscar winning bio pic...

    ... bite a man's ear off and not be thrown out of the contest (until you tried it again).

    -parachute into the middle of a championship contest and break your back.
    -wear knee high boots with shorts.
    - turn around an entire night of losing with a 6 inch movement.
    - punch people in the face for money

    And the referee make his hard-man persona off of this, despite, like you said, actually not DQ'ing the ear bite, until the man got greedy, and decided he wanted seconds!

    Which makes me think of another answer to the thread...

    ... a commissioner of the sport guide the in-game official in-game.
    -----
    ... you get to the championship game while skipping the playoffs.
    ... you finish the game in 10 seconds.
    ... you wear tassles on your shoes & fringe on your trunks

    Be resurrected from a life of manual labor in a South Jersey cannery and come a breath away from becoming the next HW championship of the world...

    Hembrick missed the bus to take him to his first fight at the 1988 Olympics, thus losing by DQ. He was a potential gold medal winner but so was Kelcie Banks, who was knocked out to my sheer delight. :yep

    A british fighter named Tony Wilson, whose mum jumped in the ring and attacked his opponent with her stiletto.

    Jake La Motta. The Film about Rubin Carter didn't win any Oscars. :lol:
