Someone Tries To Rob Mike Tyson

Why the hell would you want to rob Mike Tyson? The man races pigeons.  (Photo by Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images)

In one of the most brain dead stories of the day, TMZ is reporting that an intruder broke into Mike Tyson's hotel room at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. Tyson was asleep at the time when the intruder was rustling around with a flashlight. Mike awoke shortly after the break-in started and the intruder fled quite quickly. Apparently the intruder didn't steal anything from Iron Mike. The intruder probably realized that he was robbing Mike Tyson who is crazy and then promptly ran away. Unless it was a person who was trying to reenact "The Hangover" but then figured out that Mike Tyson does not always have a tiger.

I have no idea how things like this actually happen. First off there are security guards at the elevator to prevent people who are not hotel guests from even getting into the part of the hotel where the guest rooms are located. Next the person would somehow need to get past the electronic key card reader that keeps the door locked. It is pretty easy to get in if you have a special metal thing to fit under the door and then use the doorknob from the inside. There are some videos on YouTube if you want to know how to do that. However you would have to sneak the metal piece past the security people at the elevator.

This whole story is very strange and it got me to thinking what would be the worst boxers to rob. I think mine would have to be Marcos Maidana. I feel like he would absolutely hunt me down and completely destroy me. He has that killer instinct and a very big mean streak. Maybe Victor Ortiz because he is completely insane and he would head butt me into oblivion. Who would be your worst nightmare?

Yeah but the only reason you’d be robbing James Kirkland is because he robbed you first…

I better see Liston somewhere on this list…

Ann Wolfe

Either she’d kick my ass or she’d make me endure her training routine. Either way, no thanks.

yuri gamboa… simply because I think it’d be pretty horrible to walk in max kellerman fellating him.

LOL!

You Ortiz comment in the post made me LOL in the Library and get some dirty looks… Thanks scott!

Margarito With loaded gloves, one crazy eye, and the satan beard would be up there for me. He just looks pure evil!

Valuev would be a bit of a horror story too. Imagine seeing the outline of him standing up in the dark. You would think you walked into the room of a Mountain Troll

Ann Wolfe!

A man would have to be completely suicidal to try and steal anything from Ann Wolfe. She scares me. In fact, I’m extremely curious about the dude that got her pregnant. It’s hard to believe she would let any dude touch her.

by Craig111 on Jan 6, 2012 8:15 AM EST reply actions  

Oh this is a great question.

Bringing up Ann Wolfe is great, and I think I’d agree, it just seems you’d be in for a lifetime of hurt if you ever wronged that women.

I think Butterbean would be a bad mark – once you broke in, I’d imagine the smell would just be awful and incapacitating.
