    What channel and what time? I see Corrie Sanders is making a comeback as well, that should be awsome, he is one badass fighter, a rematch against Wvladimir Klitschko would be amazing. How old is Moorer now? He's got to be up there, I am not sure if he can last against someone like Klitschko, but it would be fun to see. I wonder if any of this will get Tyson thinking of coming back. In his exhibition match Tyson seemed to have good head movement and hand speed, although he did look a little heavy. It would be a dream if he got back with Kevin Rooney and got back to the Cus D'Amato style and made another run at the heavyweights. Also I hear Tua is trying to make comeback as well, hopefully he's improved his boxing skill because he has one devestating punch.

        We'll see about that. Moorer's biggest problem was his glass chin. Not diminished skills.

          He is 39, the fight is PPV. Starts at 9:00 ET
          Tyson getting back with Rooney and returning, that will never happen.

            Your probably right, but as Rooney said in an interview a while back: "Tyson changes his mind all the time". I think a big paycheck for a winnable fight could possibly lure Tyson back somtime, at least its not out of the question.

              As much as many people would like to see him fight again, I don't think it will happen. He has been very clear about this. Although I think he does have something left, he lacks any self confidence. In the exhibition bout
              Tyson did show flashes of his old self. Like Michael Moorer he still has speed and power. But he just doesn't want it anymore. I will say this, if an in shape Tyson could fight relaxed like he did against Sanders, he could
              get back to the top. IMO.
