Good thing Mike Tyson didn't get in the gorilla cage. I heard he had an intention when he saw the male "silver back" harassing the other gorillas. He even offered money to the zoo keeper to let him into the cage (I don't know if this is true or an urban legend). It's a good thing the guard isn't corrupt, because Mike wouldn't be back. And it's not Mike's fault. No man would return. Even Pai Mei wouldn't come back This content is protected
He did not realize just how good he was. He didn't take himself seriously. That's one reason he was robbed so many times his opponents didn't like the way he made them look foolish. He was great to chat to, he said "I knew I wasn't going to be allowed to win going in, but as long as I got paid that's why I'm here.. Another guy who was similar was Buck Smith , check out his record. He fought Antonio Margarito in Ft Worth TX. Tony stopped him in the fourth I think it was. Buck said " That kid is going to be a champion he hits so hard & you cannot seem to hurt him "LOL His motto was " Anyone Anywhere Just give me time to get there & pay me"
There's no shortage of candidates and it depends what you favour but Ali ranks top or close enough to it.
Coincidentally, the most exciting fighters are also my favourites...even in the same order ! Ali Duran Pac.
