Some reasons why Frank Bruno was sectioned

Err, if these are signs of "madness", where does it put Peter Sutcliffe (the Yorkshire Ripper), or Fred West?
Some reasons why Frank Bruno was sectioned:
1) "He hardly ever went outside his house."
Well, since he has a 25 bedroom mansion, it's not like he was cooped up in a one bedroom council flat!
2) "He slept in his garden in a tent." Yeah, but how big was the tent? And have you seen the size of his garden? It's massive! Maybe it was a hot day and he felt like camping in his own grounds. That isn't mad!
3) "He's had mood swings." Again, nothing wrong with that. He has just divorced the only woman he ever loved and was married for 23 years.
4) "He wanted to make a return to boxing." Again, who can blame him. Some of these American fights pay up to $20 million for one fight! Frank was left with a £3 million legal bill after his divorce.
5) "He was riding a bike with no shoes on." Well, I did that on a holiday in France. Jeeze, it was a hot day!
Seems Frank Bruno is more sane than he has ever been!
Hokey.

The tent that he slept in was in fact the last ring that he had a fight in, and he had it put under canvas, he used to shadow box every day and was always surrounded by hangers on, people could drive up to his house and watch him, I went to his house once to repair something and he was there, nice bloke, kept rambling on a bit about nothing in particular, his mrs was there and what a dragon, she yelled "Frank" when she wanted him and he was shit scared of her, I have spoken to some of his neighbours and all have said that she was the most horrible person you could meet.
Nutty? aren't we all

Stll a shame for the poor guy though.

Well what ever the reasons for him being sectioned lets hope he makes a speedy recovery.
If he had a physical illness instead of a mental illness people would probably be more sympathetic and support him.
Having had a close friend with similar problems i know how hard it is for his family and friends at this time.
We will probably start reading all sorts of things in some of the press about his behavior leading up to his breakdown 95% you can take with a pinch of salt.
They love to kick a man when he's down and out, no pun intended and jump on and off the band wagon when it suits them.

lets not forget he was the world heavyweight champion and such a nice bloke we all cheered him on and now the press put a head line on the front page which doesn't do him justice.
get well soon old son

Yeah, a speedy recovery, but from what I heard of his Radio 5 interview, he sounded the most altogether in his life.
