    Tyson To Train With Duran In Miami?

    Tyson still in talk with Duran as trainer

    MIAMI, FL- Former World champ Roberto Duran is reportedly on his way to Miami to meet with former Heavyweight champion "Iron" Mike Tyson.

    "Tyson called me and asked if I could train him." Duran said. "He told me that he has arranged a place for me to stay while we train in Miami."

    Duran says he is willing to train Mike, so long as the once undisputed heavyweight champ stays focused and on track. "I'm not going over there to waste my time." he said. "So he is going to have to obey me."

    Duran says he will arrive in Miami sometime sunday, and from there he will meet with Tyson, so that the two can iron-out all the details.

    Roberto Duran (b. June 16, 1951) is a famous and legendary boxer from Panama. He held world titles at four different weights - lightweight (1972-79), welterweight (1980), junior middleweight (1983-84) and middleweight (1989). He was also the only boxer to have fought in five different decades. He finally retired in January 2002 (having previously retired in 1998) following a bad car crash in October 2001, aged 52 with a professional record of 120 fights, 104 wins with 69 KOs. He was nicknamed Manos de Piedra (Hands of Stone). A popular legend is that Duran, as a youngster, knocked out a horse with one punch.

      I knew Tyson wasn't going to retire, he needs the money too bad. Hey maybe Duran can train Mike to a title or two.(WBO, WBA)Tyson can still beat some of these heavyweights in my opinion.

        Can you teach heart????? Give Tyson some stamina and some heart and we may see him knocking out some of those champions that don't belong.

          I doubt it will make much difference, Tyson's just hoping everyone thinks a new trainer is the key to his success.

            i think this is a good move for tyson because he respects duran and might listen to him.

                  tyson needs a motivator asswipe, duran is a legend, known for never giving up, i dont think he needs to be a great technical trainer for tyson, tyson needs a mentor he hasnt had since cus and rooney, maybe he can feed off duran's fire, smartass
