    Mike Tyson looks in much better shape now than Foreman did in his comeback

    https://<div style="width: 100%; hei.../iframe></div>

    Are we underestimating the ability of Mike to make a comeback when Foreman who younger granted, looked much more out of shape in his return than Mike does but had a lot of sucess.

    Just because a car looks good doesnt mean the motor runs great

      Tyson's motor has always been his mind and mental state if that was running it was great, when it wasn't he wasn't. Hence why he was "washed-up" by 23 depending on who you ask, way before any physical decline.

      Seeing Mike over the last couple years he's in a much better mind frame than he was at the end of his career.

          Doing more ******* alchohol weed and angel dust more so then any boxer in history certainly didn't add to it. The guy would do mountains of ******* then train the next day.....

            Foreman is a lumbering giant, Mike is a small HW that needs speed, look at Mikes last fight with McBride, that was like 14 yrs ago and Mike looked like sht, he is not going to get better than he was 14 yrs ago he will be a lot worse

                Tyson looked like his **** in his last years but he was fighting while clinically depressed and battling a ******* addiction and purely fighting to pay off IRS debts.

                As I mentioned Tyson's body always followed his mind, if the mind was there the fight was there.

                I legit think this Tyson with his mind right would be better than Tyson post 2000s at least.

                    Every retired HW should consider coming out. This is the best chance they will ever get.
