      I really don't think Tyson has any real interest in coming back but if he did it would be bad for the sport.

        I don't think people realize that when boxers do this, more often than not, it's all about the money.

        They don't have any real desire and in most cases it's not even physically possible for them anymore. But they know what the fans want to hear, "I'm going to take it seriously this time and train extra hard and beat everyone, blah blah blah".

        I don't care if Mike Tyson secluded himself in Antartica with the worlds best trainers and sparring partners. He doesn't have the physical tools any longer to compete at the top level. He's too old. I know the last thing to leave a fighter is his punch, but you still have to land it.

            Tyson probably spent more in a couple of years than all the people on this board will make in a lifetime.

            And those divorces aren't cheap. And you know Don King was stealin big.

                  imagine how many new vocabulary words mike tyson must have learned since losing to kevin mcdonalds... i wouldnt mind a few good interviews, but im not interested in seeing him fight.

                    this is completely false.
                    but if it were to happen it would be good if he fought on free hbo with maybe some good undercards

                      Hopefully he fights on free tv, he should fight butterbean in a 4 rounder.
