yep...thats why i put that there......it back fired on team tyson....and believe me, at that point in time, tyson had the say so on who he would be fighting....
I don't know, I think the drugs, alcohol and prostitutes just caught up with Tommy that night. A bad choice for sure but I think a lot of heavies would have beat him that night, though a first round knockout was extra embarrasing.
Braddock-Baer was no "hand-picking". He was made no. 1 contender to Baers dismay. Presscott-Khan and Morrison-whatshisname (I forget) are good examples. Oh, and De La Hoya-Sturm ;-)
