Please understand that Mike Tyson is not a world class fighter anymore. His biggest win in the past ten years was over....Frans Botha, but if you believe Frank Bruno is a better fighter then the biggest win was over Bruno.
Tyson by todays standards is little more than a world class journeyman. He wins a few meaningless fights then gets beaten by a world class fighter. He is now 7 months removed from his 4th round KO loss to some guy i can`t remember his name....he`s British i think, anyway! Jeff Fenech, just like the wasted efforts of Freddie Roach, Ronnie Shields, Buddy McGirt, Jesse Reid and all the other Trainers Tyson blames for his short comings, is not gonna perform this miricle people are waiting on.
Fact: Apart from the 52 sec blowout of Ettiene Mike Tyson hasn`t won a fight in 4 and a half years.
Fact: The highest rated opponent Mike Tyson has DEFEATED, thats DEFEATED NOT FACED, since his release from prison in 1995 is Bruce Seldon!
Fact: Mike Tyson has not fought past the 8th round in nearly ten years.
So.......how is a near 39 yr old Tyson gonna suddenly be this awesome fighter you want him to be because of "Vodka and a splash" Jeff Fenech?
How indeed....
Ive heard this before.
why bother backing a guy who doesnt train?
who doesnt care?
People like Tyson because of his behavior.
Tua was ten times the fighter and K.O. artist Tyson EVER was.
he never recieved credit because he did not bite people.
If anyone would like to compare records of the two,
bring that shit on.
PLEAZE!! This is the dumbest shit I've ever heard. Do you really believe all that crap you just said.
FACT:Tua never won a world title/Tyson won all three belts and was the first to unify them in the HW division. Plus became the youngest HW champion in history at 20 years old. And he became a two-time HW champion.
Tua never successfully learned to cut down the ring and lost every meaningful fight he ever fought, Tyson in his prime dominated his opponents and brought more popularity back to the sport than anybody ever has.
umm people liked tyson before he bit holy
Yes.
people also like "John Ruiz".

Look tyson maybea shot fighter over more than 5 rounds, but even at 39 there isnt many fighters who could stand up to a fit 39 year old tyson for 5 rounds, Vlad and Klit included.
If Tyson actually bothered to train for 3 months solid hw would be able to KO 99% of the current HW division.

Let him fight and see what happens
how many times have tyson given the chance to fight? alot, and he loses alot too.
this is how i perceive tyson's career as of late:
1. he wants to fight, not for the sake of winning, but for the earnings
2. the same goes for his handlers
3. fans, actually, are not expecting tyson to fight but what he will do in the ring
boxing bid farewell to tyson along time ago

....Your wasting your breath because the Tysonites are the bottom of the barrel when it comes to smarts, common sense, and any clue about where he really stands in the grand scheme of things. They are the most dilusional fans in the history of boxing and if you combined all of their brain power into one they may be able to provide enough electricity to barely make a 40 watt bulb glow. Trying to talk sense into a Tyson fan is like trying to explain to a two year old why they have to go to bed.
FACT: Mike Tyson did not defeat Golota. Tyson fought Golota but he did not defeat him, check the record.
Secondly, i said apart from the Ettiene fight, Tyson hadn`t won a fight in nearly 4 years!
ya

what are you talkin bout he only fought clifford ettiene 2 years ago...
mike tyson DESTROYED GOLOTA
The problem is that he is so weak mentally that he can't get himself motivated. That is also the reason why he crumbles when he meets a foe who has more heart than him. All his physical gifts are there. All the would of, should of, could of really don't matter.
I used to admire Iron Mike. but he since has lost the focus, the killer instinct he had before. What's only left is the desire to survive and earn a living. So I'm really not taking his comeback seriously.

Kimmy I can't call you a hater because all the points you have stated are indeed facts. I apologise to the Tyson fans if this offends you but you can not deny that what Kimmy has listed is in fact true.

For someone who hates Tyson and feels he has no chance you sure talk about him alot. :D
I remember the 80s very well. I was a huge fan of Tyson back in the day. And it has been a sad journey of decline since then. Tyson has wasted his talent all the way, and now it is far too late to do anything about it. He is old, his reflexes gone, no heart, poor stamina and no longer able to throw a decent combination. Still, he is and will be a big draw for as long as he stays in boxing.
This has to do with the illusion of what once was, like you point out HayeFan, and given the fact that there is always some sort of turmoil with Tyson. Where ever he goes, trouble is never far away. Next to Ali, Tyson might very well be the biggest draw in boxing history.
But there has to be no doubt - as a contender, Tyson is finished!
It's easy to pick apart Tyson's record.
That doesn't tell the story of 'Iron' Mike Tyson. There's good reason that a washed up, long since past his prime Tyson is still a draw. It aint the freakshow element, it's the fear of what once was.
If you weren't around in the 80's, you'll never understand why people will always give Mike the benefit of the doubt.
