Tyson is older, slower and has lost whatever sharness he had back in the day. I have not been impressed with anything that he has done since getting out of the joint. The only thing that Tyson is anymore is a marquee name and even that is fading fast. I dont think that Tyson will win another title. And if everything was done properly, meaning that he would have to beat some top contenders before getting his shot, I dont think he would make it through the process to the title. King could just give him the shot because he knows that the fight would generate the $'s because while Tyson is no longer a top fighter he is still a curiosity in the general publics eyes...............Rockin'
    the same could be said for Wlad or Golota, neither of the 3 deserve a title shot. but as we she logic doesn't mean ****. I do have 1 question, After brewster beats Golota and Toney beats Ruiz, does that mean that Golota can challange Toney, since he seems to only get to fight champions.

      Golota deserves a title shot because he was robbed against Byrd and is the rightful owner of the IBF championship. YOu can make a case that he deserves John Ruiz' WBA title but I wont because I think Golota lost that fight.

      And why did you ever bring Wladimir Klistchko into this, he has nothing to do with anything he is not considered a contender anymore of scheduled for any title bouts in the near future. Who mentioned anything about Wladimir Klistchko? He is totally irrelevant to this discusion. He is never going to capture a title again the guy is finished. Nobody in any boxing press or promoters or anything are talking about Vladimir for a title shot right now so I have no idea why you decided to mention him. Tyson and Golota are contenders, Wlad is not. We are talking about contenders here Wlad is not this category at the present time.

      Golota or Tyson would end Wlad's career if they fought.

          Mike Tyson will get alot more chances, even if he loses the next fight. The reason is simple enough; he is Mike Tyson. A living legend. His fights will make money for years to come if he decides to risk his health and keep on fighting. People seem to never stop believing in him, always saying he could be champion again.

          As a contender he is finished. No way in hell does Tyson win another title. If he continues boxing, he will be facing bums. Knocking out a few, and probably getting knocked out himself along the way. To put Tyson in the ring with a champion is just ******. Tyson would risk getting seriously hurt in a fight like that. Ten years ago he would clean out the division, but not anymore.

            Your right, but he could possibly get one of the smaller belts like the WBO or IBF.

                I really hope he gets a few wins, that would get me happy. I don't want to see two fights and than a title fight, because when that happens it will be the same story as it has been the last few years; Tyson throws his shots for the first rounds and than will get hammered for X rounds. No fun to watch that.

                  yeah! the guy is already beaten up, mentally and physically. the more beatings he get, chances are he'll end up spending his lifetime either in a hospital or in a mental assylum

                    I have a feeling we are going to see Toney vs. Tyson before its all said and done for Mike Tyson. I would love to see that fight actually, despite what Tyson's detractors say I think Tyson has a better chance to beat Toney at heavyweight than pretty much anybody else, barrring Vitali Klistchko.
