Had Trevor lived, he more than likely would have had some attention bestowed on him once again due to his part in the Mike Tyson story and its beginning at world title level. Largely forgotten by the average fight fan, Berbick, the former WBC champ, was living an obscure life in Jamaica. Those who did remember him, however, were aware of how strange the Berbick life story had become. Or had been. Firstly, Trevor was telling anyone who would listen that the Tyson match had been a dodgy fight, one in which he had only lost because hed been Gotten to beforehand. Berbick claimed that his hotel room had been sprayed with some substance or another and as a result his equilibrium was seriously compromised.Boxing: Ex boxing champion Trevor Berbick found dead

Boat Show constant: Everything's bigger
Fort Lauderdale The boats at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show just keep on getting bigger, and it's not only the superyachts.The Fort Lauderdale show is known for having the most boats 80 feet and longer, which is the definition of a superyacht. At the 47th edition of the show, which opened Thursday at six sites and runs through Monday, I also found bigger versions of everything, including center consoles, the most popular type of offshore fishing boat in South Florida.
The luxurious superyachts get most of the attention at the show, and it's been that way since I covered my first Fort Lauderdale boat show in 1990. The difference now is that the sizes of the boats, and their price tags, have increased significantly.
Back in the good old days, you could get a really nice boat for $10 million.
