Tyson will be ready to fight soon

[neils7147933]

Mike's used to fighting big, lumbering, unskilled guys. I just wonder if that's his best strategy anymore - especially when he's not going to be fighting a Top 10 guy anytime soon. I want to see him against some confidence builders. I wonder if his pride will allow it...

Dont think it will help his confidence much to ko some big fool, but it will sell and it will certainly make a lot of people think he is a contender.

To me its always great for the fans and the sport when Tyson wants to fight.

it's certainly better than another 4th round KO by. Tyson can't afford another Danny Williams fight. There's just some guys you can't keep losing to and still be viewed as legitimate, no matter what the circumstances of the fight...

He should find something else to do...
Commentator or something. Boxing will only hurt him from this point on..

Even if he did become champ somehow (he is incapable of beating vitali, unless vitali undertrains and comes in at 290lb, or lets his skills heavily erode,theres no way he would beat today's vitali..mike would have to pull a bruce seldon, become champ via a DQ or something) ,how many successful defenses do you think he would be capable of?

It would be different if he was a different character, but he isn't ,he's mike tyson. He loves the idea of the trappings of success, he hates the process of preparing to be great. If he ever becomes champion again, he'll lose it in one defense.

dont take this the wrong way, I am a tyson fan, and would love to see him make a comeback. But with upcomers like sam peter and malcolm tann, I don't see tyson holding the throne for more than a couple defenses at most, even if he did somehow defeat vitali.

[tyson]

True. It's just a crazy fantasy.
The heavy division is bad, byt not THAT bad! (yet)

It will be the same thing it always is with Tyson's comebacks. He will fight a few no hopers and just when he gets everybody backing him again he will fight one of the champs and let down all his fans again by losing. Tyson is pretty much done and I will be very surprised if he proves me wrong which I doubt.
