      especially if he comes in weighing as much as he did in the mcbride fight. dam was that man out of shape, if he can show up in shape it could turn out to be a good fight.

        I have a couple of points to make on this topic.

        First, in the past year, Tyson's been traveling around the world like he's ****ing Donald Trump. If Tyson's so broke, then how's he gonna pay for this (mis)adventure. I'll tell you how, he's gotta do what he only knows to do-and that is to fight. So, I wouldn't be surprised if he retires after each subseqent fight and then comes back to fight again.

        The pathetic and ironic thing about this situation is; ppv buys for Tyson fights will be more than any of the other heavyweight could generate. Also, I think if Tyson starts to get dominated and thinks that he's losing the fight, he'll just quit like he did in his last one.

          I hope Tarver kicks his ass for good just like he did to Roy. Tarver will take credit for running two would-be legends out of boxing. GO TARVER!

              i think tyson has a good shot to beat tarver if this fight happens yes tyson lost to williams and mcbride but those guys were big heavyweights that could lean all their weight on tyson and tire him out antonio will not be able to do that ....yes tyson is not what he used to be the speed is not there and his reflexes are not what they were neither are his boxing skills near what they were in the 80s ......but the last thing to go in a boxer is power just ask moorer about that when he fought foreman ....tyson by k.o !!!!

                      Just look at the weight difference. If Tarver wins its simply because Mike hasn't trained at all, or he doesn't want to fight once he gets in the ring. After all, he needs the money, Tarver just wants the fame.... well the money too. Any boxer that says they don't care about the money is simply lying.
