Sports I and and Recreation Wednesday July I ln to OS For 30 Years We Have Delivered Tyson and the perfect match Pauls call I was talking to a guy he other day who told me that his father used to drink only one bottle of beer a week He apparently consumed the single serving of suds while wat the old televised Friday night fights Well anyone would have been hard pressed to down a bottle of beer during the time II took Mike Tyson to reinforce his Image as the toughest thing In gloves by hammering Michael Spinks into submission on June in Atlantic ty Not only did Tyson remove the last remaining serious challenge to his unified heavyweight title but he also showed that challenge itsef was not all that serious others left So announced his Now there Mike Tyson retirement You really blame the guy He barely yean old a newly wed and he possesses bank count containing more Impressive f than the Playboy mansion Aside from oil thai there just no one left to pose a serious threat to Tyson His toughest cording to the tabloids and even Sports Illustrated has been out of the where his mother in law has apparently proved to be a worthy sparring partner Tyson says he wants to get his per and business lives In order Maybe then he 11 come back There are only a couple of potentially interesting fighters on the horizon who might attract Tyson slaughter Toronto Razor Ruddock Okay but champions have traditionally served as cannon fodder for world champs Holy field He currently a light heavyweight Until he proves his worth In the heavier categories he II be just another Michael Spinks Tyson other option once his per affairs are in order and his competitive urge draws him back In to the gym is the timehonored Triemonth Club Initiated long ago by the Immortal Joe Louis and popularised during the 1970s by the equally immortal Muhammad All A third option for Tyson and one maybe not so absurd when one con alders the often crazy world of modem sport be to loin forces with the World Wrestling Federation Can you imagine Tyson first battle A noholds red Texas death match with Iron Mike Shorpe Canada self proclaimed greatest athlete with winner assuming the un contested Iron Mike title and the loser Weil how about having the loser face Don King and Tyson s mother in Inw In a tag team match Speaking of the WWF its in teresllng to note the Canadian Foot ball Leagues recent efforts at self revival with a rock and roll I wis I not unlike that first reaped for huge pro fits by the set Roy drew about ex fans to a recent Ottawa Rough Rider contest and Kim Mitchell will try to do the same Tor the Hamilton Tiger Cats The Idea has lis mer s At he very least the fans might be encouraged to hang around the stadium long enough to sober up for the drive home It also refreshing to note hat some never change No mat ter how hard it tries the CFL can still manage to shoot Itself In the foot I caught the CFL all star game on the tube a couple of weeks ago and was somewhat surprised to learn the league had a live microphone planted in the all star huddle Sure enough It t take Matt more than a couple of plays during a mid field drive to exclaim with great excitement that expletive dele live most often etched into gas restroom walls by those not Imaginative enough to recant a limerick Dldn t those broadcasting types leam anything from the Infamous incident In the late 70s when Bobby Clarke cut the staid Canadian airwaves with his impression of a modern Butler during a live mike Leaf game As Pal Hal said after that game Helt what die you expect the guy to say But on the positive side perhaps It good to see the CFL willing to try lust about anything to wake up the traditionally fickle Canadian spec later Even if It means waking gran up a few
