Can Tyson ever again become Undisputed Heavyweight Champion

[Kid Achilles]

Ruiz is actually better than Tyson at this point. Sadly, even the James Toney who pummeled Ruiz would have likely stopped today's incarnation of Mike Tyson. If Lamon Brewster came out with guns blazing like he did against Golota, I wouldn't be surprised if he knocked Tyson out just the same. Mike just can't take it (or give it) like he used to. His heart is no longer with boxing and I don't think it will ever come back.

why don't some of you guys just look to the future, tyson is in the past, sure he's still fighting, but he's not a legit part of the top heavyweights any more, if he fought klitschko it would be the lennox lewis fight all over again, and he would probbably struggle to beat most of the top 10-15 heavys these days.

Tyson is almost 40 years old, and has took a lot of punishment in his career.

on a scale of 1 to 10(10 being the best chance), these are tyson chances of winning against each champion:

Brewster 5/10- because tyson can always land that bomb, imo this fight would be like the williams fight

Byrd 8/10- because byrd doesnt have the pop to keep mike off of him, its only a matter of time before tyson lands a huge shot.

Ruiz 4/10- because ruiz has overcome those 19 seconds with tua and also because he is battle tested. ruiz's style would be hell on no stamina tyson, he would hug and grab tyson for the first 5 rounds wearing down tyson. imo ruiz stops tyson late

VK 1/10- tyson only chance is too land a bomb but so far VK's chin has shown its sturdy. other than that VK has all the advantages.

You nailed it, man! Excellent analysis.

well if you add those odds up. It comes out to 18/40. That is almost 2-1 those aint bad odds really. Mike Tyson still only a 2-1 underdog to become undisputed champion again at age 38 even when the odd assesement is done by Tyson skeptic.

Don`t agree with your Byrd analysis. Bryd would have fun with Tyson and probably force Mike into a frustrated DQ! Ruiz has an excellent style VS Tyson. Brewster has a chance to beat him. But why argue this point. With V Klitscko out there, Sam Peter etc...who gives a **** about the shot rapist?

Basically, the contrary poll choice says it all.

no way in hell he could be come heavyweight champ buit not undisputed

[hollister]

I think he chases Byrd all night like Holy did...

He throws Ruiz to the canvas and elbow drops him after a few hugs and gets DQ'd...

KO's Brewster because Brewster tries to KO him...

Gets beat the **** up by VK like he did vs. Lewis.

His reflexes have slowed, his stamina isn't that great, and he has weight problems...

Two of these things could be corrected if only his heart was still in boxing, and the time frame in which he will be able to correct those things is quickly diminishing. IMO, his only chance is Brewster, and there is no chance of unifying the belts for Tyson.

yes i agree with that i think the only one of those fights he has a decent chance of winning is aganist brewster, because brewster is an attacking type of fighter, and would give tyson the chance to KO him.

Yes I think its do-able
