      Inconceivable...
      Disgusted at Mike for finding another way to sell out. This is a fight for people who are completely ignorant of the sport, who don't realize that Tyson looked horrible 10 years ago and will not be competitive now today.

      As sloppy as Toney is, he's still a boxer. It's not like riding a bike where you always remember. The coordination involved in boxing is highly complex and you don't just pick it back up after abandoning it for 10 years. James will kill him in there. I'm sure they'll sell it as nostalgia and some kind of triumph of the soul but it's just a sad payday. Next they'll be sucking **** for cheeseburgers...

                Yea, don't know why he even thought that would be sarcastic. Tyson Is the 2nd biggest name in boxing history, might even be the first in modern pop culture. Of course it's going to pull bigger numbers than a guy who fights on a Friday night.

                  What is with all these old/retired boxers wanting to come back? Is it because of how ****ing successful Floyd vs Manny was?


                  Either way, I don't want to see old legends in the ring anymore (unless they can actually still do it like Hopkins). It sucks seeing your boxing idols fight at a much lower level and get dominated by fighters they wouldn't even blink against in their prime days.

                    Romney vs Tyson anyone?
                    I didn't watch the fight, but I heard Romney actually knocked holyfield down, so.............
