    Tyson will NEVER hold a top championship belt again.

    I hope to god nobody talks about the Chavez fight it is a shame he is still fighting same goes for Robinson.

      Whether Tyson holds another belt again, you can bet when he KO's McBride, there will be Tyson vs. Wlad, Tyson vs. Peter, Tyson vs. Brewster, Tyson vs. Vitali threads all over pages one and two.

      I intend to comment on the Chavez Sr. card. I'm sure others who order the fight will want to as well...

        That is ridiculous, even if Tyson destructs this bum in 5 seconds it wont garner him any respect to be fighting for a title. Well wait, Golota did it and got 3 shots so why not. But still Tyson cant beat ANY of the current belt holders.

        Sometimes you just have to let go of memories, that is what tapes are for. To relieve the glory days and the memories, because the future is never like the past when it comes to boxing.

        Tyson isnt no Hopkins either, father time has swept Tyson away.

        Is the Chavez card on regular SHO as well? I know they do that with a lot of fights but was curious.

          No, this one's a PPV and so is Tyson.

          The ones they currently show on regular SHO but do PPV with an extra fight for non-subscribers is America's Fight Nights, which is the first Saturday of every month. Next one is Hatton vs. Tszyu...

            This is ridicolous, now neils you're predicting Mike Tyson's future?! He is a done deal, and the fact that he thinks he can come back and even win a fight is beyond me. I don't know, I think this whole thing is out of conrol, Brewster-Vitali, Tyson-Wlad, you are getting way ahead of yourself here. Wlad would put Tyson out before round 4, and Brewster wouldn't stand a chance in hell against Vitali. Brewster is a nothing, and the fact that he beat an old, tired, Golota shouldn't be looked at in the light it is. Ruiz, Byrd, and Wlad could have knocked out the Golota we saw last Saturday, but instead Brewster did it and got the glamour, Golota is clearly finished, with or without the knockout he recieved.

              Tyson vs Ettienne was on ppv and on television as was Spinks/Judah.

              Ohh well, it just doesnt seem worth $39.95 paying to see 2 old guys beat on each other.

              I guess for Nostalgia reasons and the whole "adios" gimmick, but Chavez will be back.

                Spinks-Judah II was an America's Fight Night.

                Showtime showed Tyson-Etienne free after a Jay-Z concert, this was in 2003, so they didn't have the "first Sat." thing going. The PPV was for non-subscribers. I can't imagine it was worth the 25 bucks...

                  The ones on reg showtime and PPV are usually 25 bucks.

                  Chavez's fight is 44.95...

                    I was at Spinks-Judah II and Jimmy Lennon came on and told us to cheer, that were going live prior to Eric Mitchell vs. Rob Dula. Mitchell/Dula wasn't shown on Showtime; must have just been the PPV...

                      I'm predicting that Tyson will KO McBride and that the board will respond the same way that they did with Brewster's KO over Golota. Doesn't have anything to do with my opinions on what Tyson would do against anyone else; I'm only saying that the board will likely react similarly when any heavyweight has a big KO victory. Remember when Peter KO'd Williams? The same thing happened, though to an understandably lesser degree.
