I think if Tyson would have faught smaller fighters he would still be fighting today. Why put a 5'11 39 year old man in against two fighters that are way bigger than him. Tyson hadn't faught in over a year when he faught Danny Williams who resembles a football player. Then after that they put him in against a guy the size of a professional wrestler in Kevin MCbride. Wouldn't you think they might try to put him in with someone his size? Tyson is now finished and will never comeback but I think some of that has to do with his advisors and promoters setting up with over sized opponents. What do you think?

I would have to agree with you.

McBride was 32-4-1 I think going into that fight and he was huge.

Everyone was saying he is a bum this and bum that. I don't think he was as much of a bum as everyone made him out to be.

Sure he dosn't have too much talent, but he had the brains enough to weather tysons storm and wear him down.

Tyson prime would ****in kill Mcbride in 10 seconds. That is a fact. But the truth is , I think they should of looked really hard to find a bum who wasn't a " Clones Colossus " like Mcbride was.

They should have worked on just boosting his confidence by fightng guys who really were bums and had more than 4 losses on their records.

If they did it right, I have no doubt Tyson could have made a comeback and won a belt again. As it is , however, tyson's career is over.

I agree, even Foreman thought that his comeback was poorely set up. It would have been much better if Tyson fought some smaller fighters to hype up his comeback, and then the a title fight with any of the beltholders.

i bet you make ta same thread afta Roy loses to Tarver. nyahahahaha! Quit tis type of threads. Tyson is done! Stop it! I beg of you. He's done. Don't try to revive ta dead. nyahahahaha.

I agree. It's a double edged sword though......if he were to have fought guys like Byrd or Toney.....I think he would have had even more trouble. I do think however; the opponents he should have faced would have been guys like Owen Beck, or Friday Ahunanya. Six footers.......no more than 6'1 and not very mobile or skilled.

Nope! This is a completley different situation. And didn't I say Tyson is done in my post?

Exactly...

I jest think we shoulnt make threads bout TYSON CONCERNING FIGHTS. it's ok to start Tyson humpin gurls threads, but not him fighting, nyahahaha. He's done. He should stay retire. Makin threads bout wut happened gainst Williams, Icantremeberhisname who he last fought is like HOPIN he will be champ again.

side note: I bet 2 days from now, sumone starts a thread/poll again "Will Tyson becom champ again?" nyahahahaha. then there will be 55 votes saying YES!

TYSON IS DONE!!!I am just saying that had he faught smaller fighters he might have done better.

What the hell is nyahaha? Horse speak?

he would have at least gotten a title shot against one of these so called belt holders if he was managed properly.

Dude. No way. There would have been no chance for him to beat Chris Byrd at that stage in his career. Byrd is too fast, and his reflexes were just superior to the old mike.

I agree that prime Tyson would of course beat Byrd....by a ruthless stoppage...but not at the time you are talking about.

Vitali and Ruiz........yes. He could have beat them having been managed properly I do believe.

Dude. No way. There would have been no chance for him to beat Chris Byrd at that stage in his career.

He would not have won, but at least he would have a shot at it.

And I know that any heavyweight champ would jump at the chance to fight an old, shot tyson, just to look back and say -

" Yeah, I beat Mike Tyson."

Although not a "champ".......I think it's pretty sad Kevin McBride of all people can make that claim. Do you really think McBride is a decent fighter?

No, not a decent fighter, and I hate to even think that a fighter like him, could make a claim like " I beat Tyson."

I just think they should have picked someone who was more of a bum than McBride, and I bet they could have found someone.

You know why Tyson's comeback fights were poorly set up?Because the only guys Tyson could ever beat were guys who didn't come to fight or just complete bums.Maybe If Tyson would of fought some women so he could rape and beat them then he would of won.
