He certainly needs help and if he's "willing" to be helped (by Roach), then he can still be his old "killing" machine.

    he's 38

      He's 38 but you know over last 10 years he hasn't fought that much,I mean think about it most Tyson fights don't last that long anyways, so its not like he has fought as many rounds as you think. What I am saying is over Tyson's 19 year career because he is such a bigger puncher(not as many rounds or poundings that a fighter with 12 round decisions would recieve)he might have more left than you think, not to mention the three years in jail were he didn't fight at all.

              no one can save mike except for himself, simple as that. it doesnt really seem like he listen to anyone except when he was with cus and kevin after that he didnt and did not want to listen to anyone.

                  Tyson is not only hardheaded, he's too old to change and get trained. Roach should not waste his time teaching new tricks to a ****** old dog.

                      Roach can only help; as a few others could. But it's only Tyson who can really do something about Tyson's problem.

                      In addition, time is not standing still for anyone; not even for someone like Mike Tyson.
