    When I saw his expresion after Williams ko'd it look like a Tyson that just quit. He gonna have that quit inside of him when ever he gets tested again. He looked like was saying in his mind "**** this boxing ****".

      Yeah, he still gets paid and thats what Mike cares about. When the going gets tough, Mike gets going and gets KO`ed, always happens. Tyson is the only'legend' who could never come from behind and win!

        Mike Tyson will not produce the greatest comeback in history for two reasons. 1.) He's done--physically and mentally. 2.) If he somehow does regain the title, it'll be nothing close to Eder Jofre's comeback.

          Mike is definitely finished. I still hope he can get a few more fights and pay back his debts but I don't think he'll be a serious contender anymore.

            If mike tyson is serious this time and fights a few more guy after mcbride and stays active he can beat everyone including vitali . But mike has to stay active if not it will be the same old story . Mike is lucky the division is so weak at the moment if the eighties guys mike beat in his prime the likes of tony tucker, pinklon thomas, tyrell biggs, tony tubbs, larry holmes, michael spinks, frank bruno and trevor berbick were around today mike wouldnt beat any of them .

              just answering the topic and not reading opinions......Yes, very much so. he has the punch and still has the skill, even now that he's not the same fighter, he still has what it takes to clean out this sorry division..... when mike has his head on straight he's a terrific fighter, he comes in conditioned, focused and ready..... one thing that can be a problem is that staying health, you know, the older you get, the easier it is to get hurt. like the leg thing, or tearing a muscle, but if he can healthy and be focused on the task at hand, mike can do the greatest come back in history....the red sox did!!

                he is still one of my favorite fighter of all time so i'm hoping he could make the comback... he still has the skill and power... the only problem is, is he mentally capable??? what i mean is, does he still have the urge to win???

                  Tyson could be the Heavyweight champion again if both his fisical and mental conditions recovered but Vitari.That's why Tyson couldn't do the greatest comeback I suppose.regretful...

                    Every time I've seen Tyson loose, especially in the Douglas and Holyfield fights, it seemed like he could have won if he was tougher mentally-- like he had all the physical attributes and boxing skills that he needed to beat the guys, but once they shut him down for a couple rounds he just gave up. I have no doubt that he could ko Klitschko or Byrd or Ruiz or whoever, if he really trained and got back the focus that he had back in the late 80s. Unfortunately, I just don't think that it's gonna happen-- the guys has just broken down, mentally, and should probably just retire.
                    agree, vs douglas he had bigger chance to win if he only had tougher mentally, but vs holyfield i am not sure, he landed his best short(uppercut) on the 5round and almost stagger holyfield but that was his best short. it seem like you need to hit holyfield with hammer to really hurt him. but if he could comeback now?, i dont think so he should retired after if not douglas ruddock, he was slowing down and couldnt finish when he had ruddock hurt. but what a fighter he was in his prime.

                      He is mentally unstable and physically washed up.

                      Please leave it alone he is done.
