What if Tyson got down to 215/regained his hunger and started training with Kevin Rooney again now? Would he still be screwed because of age and lack of size?
**this is a "what if" question, not to be taken too seriously**
Dude, I would love to see Tyson ripping apart his opposition again. Stick him in with some journeymen (smaller guys) so I can at least see him destroy some people once again.
ill agree with that 110% lol
Tyson vs Mercer, come on! what a fight that would be.
Yeah, maybe ten years ago. Right now it would be pitiful. But I guess if you serve shit there will always be people willing to eat it and smile.
lack of size?
That's really all there is to it.
I mean he can still punch, Yeah. But how is he going to fare against the monsters? It's always feasible to think he could win a comeback fight at that weight against a tailor made guy.
The McBride fight further illustrated that Tyson has problems in dealing with big men. Because McBride is a C class fighter at best and was still able to frustrate Tyson simply because he stood there like a wall and absorbed everything he threw. It's not really rocket science, it's just physics.

A big part of his capabilities, were related to his youthful athleticism. I don't think those capabilities translate to an effective older fighter, as they do for other fighters with different capabilites.
I know Tyson is done, but I'm saying what if he did regain the hunger/get back to a good weight and starting using some of his old skills. Is there any way he could be successful or would he still be too old? Its just a what if question, I know Tyson is really done.
A fighter like George Foreman that was never fast to begin with can still be effective in his 40's, a fighter like Tyson whose speed made up for his height deficit, can't. Plus Mike has already proved that the new psych meds that he's on are not conducive to boxing.
