    Will Tyson ever fight again?

    After last night's "train wreck(isn't that what Mike predicted?)" I don't think Mike will ever step into the ring again as a figher. But, with all the debt looming over his head what will he do to pay it off and earn a living? He's only 39 years old and will have to do something to survive.

    Mike Tyson is a very tragic person and I wouldn't rule out anything with him including a comeback in a year or two. IMO Mike should pursue a career as a trainor, boxing judge, promoter,tv analyst/commemtator, or even a referee! The only thing Mike knows in life is boxing so why not persue a career as one the earlier jobs mentioned. Your opinion and thoughts on this please.

    A lot of people are going to say that he deserves the ending he's at. I feel bad for him despite the fact that I'm not a fan of his. It's unfortunate.

      Reality TV is Tyson's best bet...

      or getting a commentating gig. He won't fight again, but I never expected that Julio Cesar Chavez farewell crap to sell either.

        ....I bet more than a few of his fans will still talk about him having the ability to be champ again ever after this. They will say, "rumors have him getting back with Rooney and if he does he will be champ again". Absolutely pathetic!!!

          in his day he was one of the best heavyweights of all time, but now he is done, if guys like mcbride and williams are stopping him he should not fight again, he is destroying his legacy by refusing to accept his days as a top heavyweight are over, he should go into commentating, out of all the fighters out there tyson is one of the most knowledgable, im not sure wether he would have the discipline to train any fighters though

            I don't see him fighting again but if he does need to fight again for the payday the best fight out there would be against Holyfield. Honestly I think they both are toast but money makes people do crazy things.

              he is done he is just not good anymore and only the die hard fans or the people with 50 dollars to throw away would buy his fights on ppv when your looking forward to laila ali and sharmba mitchell on your undercard i think you know its time to hang up the gloves

                i think promoter might be a possibility but the only problem is who would be willing to front him money to get him started or who would let him represent them

                  Maybe he'll write a book. Well, not him of course, but a ghost writer.

                    He will fight again. My prediction in June 2006. He will come out with Kevin Rooney as his trainer and a new angle.
