Imagine being a nobody but you can say "I beat Mike Tyson"

Tysons last fight was on my recommended on YouTube, I wondered where the guy is now. He's a nobody who chops down trees.

Imagine finding out your nobody neighbor who chops down trees beat Mike Tyson in a boxing match?

what happened to buster douglas?

reply

I remember him losing the title during his next fight and then he seemed to disappear from public view. There were stories that he slacked off with his training and got into a celebrity lifestyle after beating Tyson.

I'm curious about where he is now, though. I'm guessing he went through his money fairly quickly.

reply

Buster Douglas is no bum, and why would you assume he ran thru his money - he didn't.

reply

Holyfield was not a fraud - but he actually did run through most of his money from his fighting career!

he disappeared

Will Smith thought of this years ago:

He settled for Chris Rock.

I bet I could beat him at chess.

reply

Regular chess or full-contact chess?

reply

Definitely regular.

McBride isn't exactly a nobody as he was a professional boxer. I think he had like 50 professional fights, though was never a champion. He is a nobody in the world of professional boxing, but it takes a tremendous amount of skill and talent to even become a pro boxer.
