Any word if Bowe will be fighting anytime soon? Is he still in a court-battle with the Tennessee boxing commision? His next opponent should be Ray Mercer; yes he's on the comeback trail also
!
*shudder*
I think that I would rather stand in the middle of this while they punch me in the head than watch them fight on TV.
Can't we just feed them to a legit contender and then be rid of them?
If Tyson plans to make a serious comeback, he needs to do exactly what Foreman said and fight off TV. Needs to give himself a chance to develop his skills and rebuild his stamina. With all of the out of ring nonsense Tyson needs to scale it back a level and take these 4-6 round fights against easy opposition.
What Tyson needs to really do is almost start from scratch and work on things that were fundementals to the classic Tyson style like head movement, combination punching to the body and head, and lateral movement. Coming in straight like a raging bull won't work because Tyson isn't a very large or physically strong heavyweight. He doesn't have the reach nor a particulary quick or strong jab to press the action. Mike needs to be sneaky and elusive.
Time is running out on the biological clock and the only way for him to get those skills back is for him to to fight often, starting at a low level with reduced media attention and pressure, and slowly building himself back to the world class level. It would be the most difficult challenge of Mike's professional life, and Tyson thusfar has been one to wilt in the face of adversity.
