    Does anyone find it interesting that Holmes and Foreman say Tyson was overmatched?

    #1 Holmes and Foreman have never agreed on anything.

    #2 Holmes has never said ANYTHING about Tyson that could be considered positive.


    I think that when 2 all time great heavyweights are saying that Tyson is well within the possibility of a successful comeback, people should listen unless you want to be a clown like that barrell of ****s Vodka Breath Larry Merchant.

    I've heard alot of similiar thoughts about how Tyson was "mismatched" by Don King, GF, LH, and others. If Tyson was so overmatched, then why didn't anyone pick Mcbride to win? There're all "monday morning" quarterbacking!

        You're confusing some of the best boxing outcome prediction brains with the ignorant general public masses who put 50 bucks on mike just to make the fight more fun.

          If I can remember correctly, on the Friday Night Fights edition before Tyson's saturday fight with Mcbride, all the analysts and guests on the show including Bert Sugar, gave Mcbride no shot in the world to beat Mike.

            I've heard Holmes say a lot of positive things about Tyson in the past, I hear him say positive things about him all the time actually.

              They mean overmatched as in he was to ****ing big...Skill wise i bet im better than McBride but he was just to damn huge, And for a guy with questionable stamina in Tyson that was not a smart move from his managers..Get him some wins 1st then maybe fight someone that big..I think the only reason they fought that big ***** is cuz they knew down the road that Vitali is the only Champion that would give mike a shot all the others would be tucked away in don kings ass....

                    Hey, Foreman beat better opposition than McBride after coming off a TEN YEAR layoff. Get over it, get use to it, Tyson sucks. He ****** then, he sucks now, he sucks forever. He can't carry Holmes or Foreman's jock. Yeah, I know Little mikey beat Holmes, after he retired and didn't have a tune up. Seriously, the money would be on Holmes now if they fought next week and Holmes is 55!? The guy can't ****ing fight. How god damn hard is that to understand. If you need someone to beat up someone, little mikey is your guy. If you need someone to fight, you better look elsewhere.
