If Mike Tyson made a comeback would he be the biggest name in heavyweight boxing?

[boliodogs]

Tyson was KOed by Danny Williams in July 2004. In his next fight Tyson in June 2005 was KOed by Kevin McBride. Realizing he could NO LONGER BEAT A TOP 20 heavyweight Tyson retired. Tyson drinks a lot and he smokes cigarettes and I don't think he works out. So how in the hell does he come back now 15 years later and beat any top heavyweight when he could not do it 16 years ago??????? Tyson could surely beat the hell out of most men his age but any top 50 heavyweight fighting now would beat the hell out of Tyson just as Danny Williams did 16 years ago.

For the one fight that comeback lasted? Yeah, definitely.

I think he didn’t like what Wilder said that he would knock out a prime Tyson. Tyson is going to prove an old Tyson knocks out a prime Wilder

You answered your own question he drank smoked cigarettes and didn’t train you can’t win like that

[Blueboy3]

He would be the top 3 highest paid fighter if he came back

[CHOWWOKKA]

Yes up until he gets knocked out

[QballLobo]

Name wise he would be the biggest name yes absolutely. In the 80’s and 90’s Tyson was known worldwide like Michael Jackson or Michael Jordan.
Boxing was a major sport and boxers today don’t have that type of mass appeal.

[Marchegiano]

Mike is still the biggest name in HW boxing.

I don't want to see a serious return, but, his lighting up the internet with a ****ing pad video says it all. Joshua, Fury, Wilder, either one of the K2s, nothing on Mike.

I don't even think Evander and Lennox can challenge Mike's recognition level.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Hell, Tyson was losing to non contenders before he retired.

Mike Tyson was beating up Danny Williams before he hurt his knee, and he won most of the rounds against Kevin Mcbride 'Tyson's knee was still damaged in that fight, as he was pointing to it while on the canvas' i.e Tyson had to have surgery during the aftermath of the Williams fight.

Note: But for sure, Mike Tyson at this stage should just stick to fighting exhibitions against other veteran fighters.
