    If the man wants to come back and earn a living like most men have to do in life then who are we to argue. It's his job and even though i personally don't think he'll be the Unified Champion of the World i still think he could be in with a chance for a title if he fights the right people. He needs his confidence re-building and that may involve fighting a few lower level fighters.

      While I still sometimes delude myself and think that Tyson still has something left from his prime, the fact of the matter is that he has been done for many years now. Even if he had 60 percent of his prime, I am sure he would be champion today but such is not the case.

        Tyson looked good against Williams until he stopped throwing punches. The best he'd looked for a long time. The moment he hurt his knee was plain to see during the fight too... So who knows? He is way past his best and the odds are stacked against him being champion again but the division has got a talent famine right now and stranger things have happened. I'm not expecting the Tyson of '86 to reappear though... In fact, i'd be happy for Tyson to fight bums to be honest - just so the guy doesn't end his career riddled with debt. But i can't bring myself to write him off just yet. Yes, i am a Tyson fan.

          I still don't understand why so many are concerned about Mike Tyson's second shot at being ****** rich.

          IMO.....anyone who earns close to 300 million dollars, but winds up 30 million in debt, should remain in debt for the rest of their lives.

          This clown is pushing 40 years old.....he'll never stop ****ing his life up.
          If he goes 30 million into the black....watch him squander it once again.

          He's also been an embarrassment to the sport of boxing for a long time now....so I certainly don't think he deserves to get rich off of it, again.

            I think it's a joke that he lost all that money and ended up in debt. Some people don't earn 1 million dollars in a lifetime. I don't feel sorry for him at all because he has done this to himself.

              "Poor Mike. All he ever wanted was a $21,000,000 home, a few white tigers, a slew of Bentley's, that's all. Oh yeah, he also liked to pay a few guys to stand around screaming, 'The best ever, the best EVER !'......all small desires & needs. He really deserves a second shot at these meager things in life."

                Thats funny Jabs

                He had it all and he blew it, if he wants to fight and and try to earn it back i don't care. I certainly won't be paying for any of his fights unless he gets a title shot.

                    I definitely think that against someone as aggressive as Mike that Ruiz would get nailed coming in head first attempting to clinch. I see Tyson by TKO or even KO if he properly trains, but I also see Ruiz frustrating him and POSSIBLY grinding out a decision. Oh who knows with Tyson...Ruiz has beaten Golota (may it be unfair), Rachman, Oquendo..
                    After seeing some clips from the Ruiz/Golota fight before the Mosley fight last saturday, I don't think it's as big as a robbery as some people make it to be. In between clinches Ruiz was landing some hard shots, I guess those shots scored big for him...
