Mike Tyson's Return to Glory at Cruiserweight

Me? I just wanna kill...

finish his career at crusier? his career is finished man! he is never going to take anything seriously in reagards to boxing. he may get a payday here or there, but he is not fighting on a regular again! he is 42!

Tyson is finished..he will get puffed out, and he is WAY too slow!

When he was 18 years old Mike Tyson was a rock-solid 235 FFS.

Is it possible...maybe. Is it going to happen....no.

Tyson's Career is already finished. Yes sadly. Its a shame he twisted his knee against Williams, he was close to beat Williams but then the injury came and im shure thats the reason why he lost the fight. If Tyson would have beaten Williams, stayed with Roach who knows what would have happened after that? Maybe he would have fought for a title and maybe he would have even won it? But i know its just IF IF IF

I think he weighed in at a pathetic 233, his optimal weight is 216. Every bout Tyson has ever been in, and weighed in at over 220 he looses. He was like 239 against Brian Neilson, but I get your point. There's no way he could make the weight. Besides, he's finished.

I thought Tyson looked pretty jacked when he fought Etienne, I wish I looked that fat haha

Fine My Bad. Your right about his optimum weight. I still think that he could make it to 200 pretty easily. And he has won fights above the 220 mark. Like when he fought Clifford Ettiene he was pretty fat for that. Fat?? He was ripped!! And i have never seen a fat Tyson, only a Tyson who did to much weight lifting. The worse Tyson looked physically was against McBride, but he still was far from fat.

I think he weighed in at a pathetic 233, his optimal weight is 216. Every bout Tyson has ever been in, and weighed in at over 220 he looses. Wrong! In his prime Tysons best weight was about 216-218, but today it would be 225 and he couldnt make cruiser, even in his prime it would be hard for him. But he had manny fight in which he was over 220 and won them.

At his age, I don't think he could get down to 200 lbs...he looks to be at least 250 or 260 from the pics I've seen of him lately, maybe more. I read that in his last fight against MkBride, he trained really hard, and still came in at over 230 lbs. Tyson said Fenech worked him hard in the gym, and he was doing a lot of things he hadn't done in a long time, like running. I'd say it would be really draining for him, even if he could do it. A younger Tyson at cruiserweight though...man, he'd kill all those guys.

tyson threads should be banned... this guy can no longer fight. he is already a bum in the HW... at the cruiserweight.... he will be a cruiserweight bum

oh dear, this thread is retarded. You would have to start chopping limbs of to get Mike below 200lb.

He did. It has been documented that Mike Tyson weighed 190 lbs (muscular) when he was 13 years old. He really is a genetic freak. He was like a 5'10", 190 lbs seventh grader...all muscle, no fat. As for the starter of this topic, you are a dumbass! There is no way Tyson could make cruiserweight. Also, before posting such an asinine topic, do the research. Someone posted that he has weighed less than 200 lbs for his early fights...bullshit. His lightest weight was 212 lbs against Don Halpin in 1985. He also weighed in at 213 1/2 lbs against Jose Ribalta. He weighed anywhere from 215-220 lbs during his prime. After prison he usually weighed between 219 and 22o lbs. He weighed 222 lbs for the first Holyfield fight. In the rematch he was a ripped 218 lbs and he fought well. In that fight he lost the first round badly, the second was pretty even, and he really dominated Holyfield in the 3rd. Had Tyson not snapped about Holyfield incessent headbutting he might have won that fight. Also, he was most definately NOT fat against Etienne even though he weighed 225 lbs. He was totally ripped, and had very well-defined abs. Some of you guys need to actually have an idea of what you are talking about before posting.

No he didn't he was always in the range between 215 and 219. 214 might have been the lowest he ever came in at, but it might be 215, his optimal fighting weight is 216. You would not think a small number pounds like that would make a big difference for a heavy but for Tyson it does. Yeah, I don't recall him ever at the weights that guy listed. I bet he weighed 200 in the sixth grade!

Are you kidding me? Lewis dropped Tyson like a dirty pile of laundry 3 times in their fight. What you said only proves heart > chin. Ruiz > Tyson. are you kidding me??? tyson fell once when LL leaned on him(they toke a point of LL for it). tyson got 1 standing 8count. and was down ONCE(when he got koed).

Roy Jones a bitch who dropped his belt when Ruiz returned for mandatory rematch. Roy is a bitch....who dominated a bigger bitch, Ruiz.... easily, without even breaking a sweat..... but thanks again for the laugh :)

sounds good but i reallly gone think he can make wieght for cruiser but if he was able to he prolly could be competive at that weight nah idk hes too old wait idk hes still mike tyson lmao

How does Ruiz have a weak chin? 1996 is old history. I guess Tyson got a weak chin too after he got beat by a journeyman. Roy Jones nearly took Jenny Louise's head off in round 5 with a glancing overhand right, then Roy put it on cruise control and the fight was pretty much over after that.... it wasn't a KO obviously, but if a light heavyweight can affect Louise like that with 1 glancing blow, that's a WEAK A$$ CHIN

How does Ruiz have a weak chin? 1996 is old history. I guess Tyson got a weak chin too after he got beat by a journeyman. Tyson just quit against Williams, you could tell by looking at his eyes that he was totally coherent and could have gotten up if he wanted to. Tyson has concrete Jaw IMO its just a matter of whether his will is there. If you question Tyson's chin watch Tyson vs Razor Ruddock II or Tyson vs Holyfield, or Tyson vs Douglas, in alot of his fights he eats some huge shots but walks right through them. Nobody has ever hurt Tyson bad with one shot. Everytime he is stopped its from a massive accumaltion of big power punches.
