    Can Mike Tyson do the greatest comeback in history?

    Does Mike Tyson still have the boxing ability and hunger to reach to the top?, or does he need to give up and maybe fade away as being one of the most recognized ruthless champions that ever lived. The man who had all the oppurtunities in the world and yet at the end never really achieved a self-hapiness from the sport.

    Great quote though,

    Mike: I'm the best ever, i'm the most brutal and vicious champion there's ever been. There's noone who can stop me, linx the conqueror, no i'm alexander he's no alexander' i'm the best ever. I'm sonny liston, i'm jack Dempsey, there's noone like me, i'm from their claw, there's noone who can match me.
    My style is Unpitious, my defense is impregnable and i'm just feroious. I want your heart, i wanna eat your children!

    He's a bit of a nutter sometimes though.

    Mike Tyson said he's going to get his act together and clean out the division. So yeah, I think he can make the greatest comeback in history....I feel bad for all the punks he's going to KO in his path of destruction/unification....

        No, he can not make the greatest comeback in history. In fact, it will not be much of a comeback at all. He is finished with a capitol F. We saw that clearly against Lewis and even more so against Williams. He is washed up beyond all recognision.

        But still, people tend to hang on to the memory of what once was. The young beast with the nick "Iron". He is no more. I hope people start understanding that soon, because as long as people have some sort of ****** belief in him, they will pay to watch him fight. And as long as people pay to watch him fight, Tyson can make big money fighting. And as long as he makes big money, he will continue fighting, thus setting himself up for more punishment and possible brain damage etc. He should hang em up, debt or no debt.

                In his fight with Williams i saw some of his old traits come back. He had more head movement and threw more combinations since he came out of prison. He still couldn't pull it off against Williams, knee injury or no knee injury. In the first round he hit Williams with everything he had, and it did not work out for him. 2005 is a far way from 1988. The 21 year old Tyson is gone, now there is only about 45% oh him left. He might win a few fights, but the title belt will never again go around his waist.

                  Hell yeah Rippuh, I got too start dropping that line. Anytime someone says anything bad about Tyson Im just going to say "Mike Tyson said he's going to get his act together and clean out the division."

                    I think Tyson still has the skills and ability to regain some of his former glory. However, I have doubts about how motivated he is or if he still has the hunger to regain the heavyweight title. Aside from that, Tyson still has the power to draw sold out arenas and high ppv sales from the millions of us boxing fans who love him. I think some possible matchups for him this year would be vs the likes of Tua,Wlad Klitscho,Bowe,McBride,and a rematch with Williams.
