Foreman knows the plan they should have not put so much pressure on tyson by putting him on pay per view with a bum! let him fight off tv for a while that is what george did less pressure and more focus.
This might have been a good idea some years ago, but not now. George has good intentions but I don't see him putting up with little mikeys ****. Mike would mouth off about something or other and George would hit him so hard it would kill Mike's pigeons. How embarrassing would it be to Mike to see a 55 yr old man out-training him? Outrunning, outpunching everything.
What heart did Tyson show in pummeling a stationary, one handed Ruddock? Tyson never, ever had heart. Period.

That's true, but I can't imagine Tyson fighting on a "Friday Night Fights" venue!
Also, Tyson doesn't have the heart and courage to follow the Foreman plan; George can't teach heart, its either you got it or not.
He can definately come back and win the titles again, there is no doubt about that. He just needs some guidance as far as training, opponents and mental approach is concerned. I wouldn't have him using weights before fights, I think Mike has been trying to build muscle like a bodybuilder which has destroyed him. He was doing it in the 90's and it wrecked his reflexes. I also do not think that Mike should be spending only 6 weeks before a fight training, that's 6 weeks in 12 months for crying out loud - and this has been going on since he got out of jail 10 years ago!! He's going way too long with no training, you can't train up just 6 weeks before a fight to get in shape unless your fighting f***ing regularly.. I mean that's like 6 out of 52 weeks.. so that's a VERY small percentage of time he's been in the gym training since he got out of jail 10 years ago.. and also you have to remember that he did no boxing training in jail! He just used weights in jail. I just don't think he has been training right or nowhere often enough since he left the Catskills in June 1988 - it's ridiculous!! He can train 'hard' all he wants for 6 weeks before a fight, but it's not going to do anything for him if he's not fighting often. You need to train non-stop year-round, with a week or two off after fights - that's it. When Mike had Rooney by his side in the 1980's, he was sparring every day of every week of every month until just a couple of days before a fight.. and he'd be in the gym just a couple of days after a fight sparring again! He used NO weights back in those days either.
If he gets his training right, fights smaller guys, gets some wins under his belt, fights regularly etc.. gets his hunger back, some motivation, some confidence, some hope.. he'll win the titles again! I swear he would
