    This is definatly a market ploy. He needs everything he can get if he thinks he can become champ again.

    I dont think we will ever see tyson in a meaningful fight again

      I thought tyson looked good in the williams fight, it's just that damn stamina of his can't last long enough. Duran better push this guy to the limit cause everybody's measuring today's tyson against the tyson of the eighties. It's never gonna be the same. Damn

          Tyson did look good against Williams until his heart, leg, knee, arm or whatever the excuse was caved in. Duran has never trained anyone before, yes he was a great fighter and some former fighters make excellent trainers but what part of Duran mental make up make him a great trainer??? When he had to weight drain before the second Leonard fight?? What disapline!
          This is a ploy in order to sell more tickets. They want you to buy that Tyson is gonna hook up with Duran and all is sweet. FORGET IT!! Tyson is looking for an extra buck and Duran is looking for a mug to pay his bar bill.
          Perfect match!

              I don't like the idea of Tyson training in Miami.

                I don`t like the idea of Tyson fighting period, he is shot fighter. I don`t think hanging around a drunk Roberto Duran is gonna help either. uring The only good advice Duran will give Tyson during their time together will be where to install the mini bar!

                  It's a last gasp but it's worth a shot.
                  I always thought that Freddie was too laid back to train Mike.
                  Mike needs an authority figure....Duran might fit the bill.
                  People will still pay to see Tyson and beating Ruiz, Brewster or Byrd isn't out of the question.

                    I think this is good for Mike because he respects Duran, Tyson has alot of respect for great fighters so I think he would try extra hard not to screw up.

                      tyson tore his left knee ligament in the first round of the fight. That screws up everything, speed and power. The fact that he kept going shows that he still has heart, but i think he needs discipline. he wouldve killed williams in three rounds if he hadn't got injured. but three rounds is probably all he has. I for one would like to see a rematch, cause it was a good fight.
