That would be the best possibly thing for boxing.

there is talks about a 3rd fight.

While no official contract has been written up or signed there is talks about it.

Despite what tyson and holyfield are saying about "chillin" and "not thinking about fighting each other" or "not worrying about that fight" goes its just a ploy.

they say JUST ENOUGH to cause speculation and sit back and see what the fans response is (to see if the fight is worth having) or one is holding out for a certain amount of money; etc.

i think if most fans show strong disinterest in the fight that it most likely wont happen. if the demand is there i wouldnt be at all surprised to see this fight by the end of the year.

Tyson never had the heart nor the stomach for a real fight when he was young enough to fight, so I can't see him wanting to entertain a potentially tough fight against a man who terrified him over a decade ago; even if Holyfield is more washed-up than Danny Williams' favourite plate.

Holy was on Inside Sport a month or two back in the UK. I think he said he wanted to fight him again. He was asked why not retire now and he said something like to cement your legacy it's important how you go out. He wanted 1 big payday, 1 last big showdown before retiring.

Tyson's got a lot of "will it happen?" on the shelves. His two biggest are MMA, or maybe Marquess of Queensbury rules under an MMA promoter, with Bob Sapp and a boxing match with Holyfield. Tyson said he is only interested in this so far as there are the right number of seats, meaning so long as he's not fighting in some burnt out gym, he wants the big lights and the big money etc. Tyson is not "chillin' out", he is in training for MMA. He is in serious debt and cannot "chill out" because he has to earn millions and boxing doesn't seem to want him anymore, so he's moved over to MMA. He's supposedly signed a contract with a MMA promoter and is set for his first fight in July (?), rumours are it is with Bob Sapp.

Will it happen? Well, I reckon so long as the fans have the interest then it could. Holyfield wants to, Tyson wants the money, so yeah. Tyson also needs a big fight to go out on I think. Even if he lost. So far his last fight was with McBride, a self confessed "class C heavyweight". Does he really want a loss to him to be his last fight? If he beat Holyfield it would enable him to retire happily, if he lost then atleast he went out with the big lights on him. As for the fight itself, I found them quite lackluster myself, due to Holyfield. "Hit, hit clinch, hit, hit clinch". That is how the coaches told people to beat Tyson, it frustrated him and it tired him. Yeah that's true, and it worked but saying that, in a street fight if I go out with a sledgehammer that's a sure way to win to but it doesn't mean I should do it. After all, a lock is an illegal move. I understand people do it when they're in trouble to stop the opposition and it is allowed because it's not exactly extreme but if you go out with doing it over and over again as you're plan then you should have some points deducted, surely?

Is this really in the works?

I've been hearing rumors about this happening and I must say this would be the saddest most pathetic fight to ever take place.

**** might as well make another...Bowe vs Golota fight too.

The sad thing is...I heard a rumor a while ago that Bowe wants to go again with Golota. Don't remember where I heard it, but hopefully it's a lie.

Tyson probably needs the money, but will probably mis-manage it when he gets it anyway.

these rumours never stop circulating do they.. the more people talk about it, the more it will come into fruition.
