    I'm not sure what to think about this tournament?
    Yeah that was mentioned in the first post too.

    I have a really strong su****ion that Don King is out for the money. For me these fighters are old and not capable of winning, not based on skill, but based on heart and determination. Correct me if im wrong but Tyson quit to Kevin McBride. I mentioned the size difference there, in another post, but still, Tyson would need to dedicate himself back to the sport to get any real positivity from it again. I think he would much rather live off the fame he still has, and take part in random events (like the one coming up in London soon), to earn his money. His legacy is on the line even more every time he steps in the ring.

      I really hope he doesnt. I am a fan and I would love to see him fight but he cant keep taking beatings anymore, especially at his age. But if he could unload everything in the first 4 rounds, he might be able to beat Rahman. Toney's too slick, Brewster's chin is too hard, Byrd's defense is too good, Ruiz is too frustrating, and Wlad is too tall and rangy. Maybe Tyson should fight Barret, Barret doesnt hit hard and has a suspect chin, but i dont see Tyson winning the tournament.

        I think what you said is correct.

        But lets face it. He puts more on the line, actually fighting Barret than he does by not fighting him.

        I think i would prefer to see him protect his record, rather than risk it on somebody who has a suspect chin. Like i said, only if he had a 90% chance of winning the tournament would I say go ahead.

                  RJJ said something like "he said he'd fight me, then like a week later he retired.. so whatever" or something along those lines

                      Lewis probably said the opposite
