    And Like I said Bruno and Seldon are as good of champs as Brewster and Byrd and Ruiz and Tyson KO'd both of them early. And like said I think Bruno would beat Ruiz Byrd or Brewster. He was not that bad of champion. He only lost 3 times I believe and 2 of those times were to Tyson. The other time was to Lennox Lewis and all his wins were by KO with the exception 2. That is definitely a quality win.

    bruno is decent, but that was like 9-10 years ago... seldon just sucks, one of the worse champs in history.... look at the last half decade for tyson, 4 fights, 2 wins against bums... tyson might have one or two more quality wins left him, but i would not make him the favorite over any good opposition... i like tyson, his fights are entertaining, win or lose, but he's just not a top contender anymore...

    i can see there's no convicning you, so i'll just wait til tyson loses again, just like when we diagreed with your boy golota....

      I dont care about anybody says. I just cannot picture Chris Byrd in particular or Lamon Brewster defeating Mike Tyson. I just cannot envision that possiblity, it seems so ridiculous to me.

        Yes, if Ruiz beats Vitali and Chris Byrd, and Tyson signs with Don King, he can win the unified title.

          If Ruiz beats Vitali and Byrd then i`d pick him to KO Tyson within 6 rounds!

                How can you pick Brewster Byrd or Ruiz to beat Tyson. That is so ridiculous. Tyson has been sparring 8 rounds in training already and working on his pacing so he is not a 2 round fighter anymore. Against somebody slow and unskilled like Brewster he could fight any pace he wanted. Against Byrd who is defensive fighter and does hit with anything serious he could fight at any pace he want and nothing Byrd has in his arsenal can deter Tyson. Byrd would be on the ropes absorbing devastating Tyson bodyshots and uppercuts in fact I think Byrd would be KO'd early. Ruiz likes to fight inside. Fighting inside with Tyson is a very bad neighborhood and John does not have a great chin he would get KO'd. Against Toney. Tyson would pound him to his soft body like has never been attacked before and give Toney his first KO loss.

                You say Tyson is not a contender now. He only needs to win 1 fight against a guy like Krasniqui and back into contendership and he can take any of these guys easy as long as he is conditioned and focused. Vitali Klistchko is the only that can give him problems but with Mike Tyson who knows what can happen maybe he can pull off. Maybe he can get inside and hurt Klistchko to the body and land some devastating uppercut and knock him out.

                  It was not ridiculous to me. Tyson looked like **** in training before facing Williams and came in at his 3rd highest weight ever at 233.

                  Hell I would give Danny Williams a good chance to beat Byrd Ruiz or Brewster as well.

                    I think if Tyson can fight and win a couple more fights this year he would be in a good position to fight for one of the million alphabet heavyweight titles out there. The key to Tyson's sucess is to stay in condition between fights and to fight alittle more frequenctly than he has in the last decade. IMO if Tyson was fighting 3-4 times a year he would be in peak condition, mentally and physically. Also, I think a rematch and a win over Danny Williams in the late fall would put him in contension for a title shot as well as help him financially.

                      i think williams sucks... byrd and ruiz would not be as huge an underdog to tyson like williams was...
