Do you wish for a Tyson comeback?

[Kid McCoy]

If you really are a Mike Tyson fan, you should hope he is never in the ring for anything more serious than an exhibition.

The last time he fought he quit against a 3rd rate (and that's being generous) heavyweight, and you want to see him against a quality fighter? Yikes!

This. Mike looked pitiful in his last fight six years ago. Just imagine how bad a 45 year old grossly overweight Tyson would be against any kind of credible opponent.

If anything he's way underweight, this is from May.


Imagine this Mike in with anyone in the ring
Looking healthy though .

I guarantee there are more than a few Tyson loonies out there who think if he'd just hook back up with Kevin Rooney he'd again tear things up.

Mate i was close to tears, maybe even did shed a few drunken ones back when Mike was fighting Lewis, Williams and McBride.... Like 9 years ago so no id rather cut off my own nuts than see Mike get embarrassed again. He wouldnt even be a HW now, Skinny neck and ***** on that vegan diet meh


Do i wish there was another Exciting guy like the young Tyson tearing through the HW rankings? Every day! Sadly there will Never be another Iron Mike Tyson....

Luckily Tyson has more sense:

I'm 43 years old and I'm fat and I'm overweight. Who am I going to fight? No, I am not interested in doing that. I'm not going to be successful. I'm just not that guy. I don't love this stuff any more.

I have serious hopes for Daryl. I just hope he keeps his head in the game.

Kevin ****ing Rooney has even took time out to train him. The guys got serious head movement.

Funny, but being we all know Mike is an extremely smart fighter and he obviously knows about everything there is to know about boxing. I'd have to say that if you go by the history of the game there was really no fighter whatsoever that had beaten father time. Although George Foreman and to a lesser extent Jersey Joe Walcott had become two of the oldest champions there were, they still were just mere shells of themselves that had won back the title on sheer guts and brute power.

Mike Tyson was the youngest man to ever win the heavyweight title and if you think about it it makes him an early bloomer. Many do agree that he was past-his-prime by the time he was 23 or 24. But I'd have to say a lot of that had to do with the loss of his original trainers and not surrounding himself with the top professionals he should have. Also, you have to factor in all the inactivity he has had in the 2nd and 3rd parts of his career which made him deteriorate even further.

Perhaps, he does have a chance. Especially, if he gets back with a Rooney or even a Giachetti. If you look at the early part of the Danny Williams fight you could see that he sure does have some skills left. I don't know how much a factor the knee injury caused him to lose or even if there was a stamina problem. In the Lewis and McBride fights you could see he just didn't care all that much.

I have to say that if Mike said to himself, "I really want to re-dedicate myself to the game and train as hard as I can." You know, if he really started caring about it again I'd have to say that he may have a shot. But alas, no matter how much you train the reflexes are not what they used to be when you hit your mid-forties. Even if you are Iron Mike Tyson.

Yet despite this, Tyson looked extremely sharp in an exhibition bout he had shortly after retirement. I think it was more that he lost his focus and fell in love with the easy KO rather than being physically unable to continue.
