The 90's was a prosperous time in the heavyweight division, with Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, Michael Moorer, Rid**** Bowe, and George Foreman all making big statements. But now we are in a new millenium, and all of the above are all but faded beyond recognition. The 4 that remain active (Moorer, Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe) all claim that they have a dream of once again becoming heavyweight champ of the world, which draws many a snicker from boxing pundits. But do any of these aforementioned fighters really have a shot at becoming heavyweight champ again?
Whose dream can come true?

Moorer and/or Tyson could pick up one of the big 4; definitely one of the even lesser onesOriginally posted by asian_sensationThe 90's was a prosperous time in the heavyweight division, with Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, Michael Moorer, Rid**** Bowe, and George Foreman all making big statements.

That is if they will have a Heavyweight division for senior citizens!
(Note: That is if Forman won't compete) :-ÞComment

Tyson has the best chance of those 4 on regaining the title. For reasons unknown, Tyson's camp is dragging their feet in promoting any upcoming bouts. I think the best strategy for Mike is to stay active and to fight as much as possible. I don't know why Tyson hasn't climbed back into the ring yet. He isn't getting any younger and the money he owes is acrueing interest.
As for marketability, Tyson would still draw the most in ppv sales and fighting frequently(3-4 times yr) would get him ranked in the top ten again. Then whoever wants to give him a title shot is practically guarenteed a huge pay day.Comment
