Mike Tyson would have been called Koko B. Ware Jr, like the WWF superstar of the 1980's, he too had a parrot on his shoulders.
The parrot would beat Tyson and Douglas on the same night. The Greatest,Muhammad Ali would train and motivate the parrot and at the weigh in the parrot shouts out "Pieces of eight to show I'm great"
I needs to know if this is the same parrot George had - imagine all the accrued wisdom and experience repeated over and over, ad nauseum……..I have no clue as to how long Parrots can live for however. Otherwise, is this another parrot that happens to go by the name Rooney, having been originally owned for quite some time by Mike’s ex trainer? If so, OF COURSE Mike would’ve pulled through with Rooney not only back in his corner but also on his shoulder. The parrot could’ve fast counted Buster to a count of 8 in just 4 seconds and trick Octavio into mistakenly picking up the count from there - Buster done and dusted after a mere 6 seconds on the canvas.
So true Rich. So true. Or the excuse that the Parrot was out partying, drinking and snorting into the am hours, while chasing and nailing some feathered tail. How funny it would be if after just 2 rounds naughty Party Polly lurched forward and fell off the the perch of Mike’s shoulder, face first on the deck, motionless, to be counted out himself. Without a back plan (or back up Parrot) that would put Poor Mikey back to square one.
Ha, Ha. I laughed so hard I thought I woke up the household, Party Polly did the trick, Iron Mike was no longer Iron Mike but Parrot Bait. Lol.
The Tyson Polly effect on Tokyo Douglas may depend on the bird's coloring. The cooler colored feathers (blue, green, etc.) might play right into Buster's game plan, whereas hot colors (red, orange, etc.) might be the undoing of James Buster Douglas. A neutral color (white, gray, etc.) parrot would definitely make this fight a pick 'em affair. Name the color and I'll name the winner! https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSbwBbx_fHEQGLrjN7wuuDXGqt5RpLUVQ292Q&usqp=CAU
Sadly, Naughty Party Polly Parrot has been in and out of rehab over the last 12 months. All the snorting eroded part of her beak which had to be rebuilt via plastic surgery. Not quite bereft of life just yet but she’s barely hanging in there. Spare a thought.
