Tyson should absolutely NOT do it.

And anybody encouraging him to do so doesn’t care about his life, or they’re ignorant af.

Mike Tyson is a 53 year former boxer.
At that age and already been thru what he has, all it could take is ONE PUNCH to permanently shut his brain down.

People are barbaric.

[famicommander]

He's correct in this case.

It's not just the age, but the fact that Mike looked awful in 2005 and 2004, getting knocked out by low level competition both times.

Mike hasn't beaten a halfway decent opponent since 1999, when he beat Frans Botha. That's over 20 years. It's time to let it go.

Agreed! I've been a Tyson fan since I was in elementary school but I don't wanna see him even try to make a comeback. If he truly wants to do some light exhibitions or whatnot then that's cool but I don't want to see my old hero get hurt badly trying to recapture his glory days. Leave this game to the young lions.

Americans looking for a HW hope lol, dragging out the mummified corpse of Iron Mike lmao. Haha too funny.

He should only come back if he truly believes he can compete. Foreman did it and mike is just as much of a warrior

[SteveM]

'eventuate' - what kind of dipshit language is that? Try substituting with the word 'happen'

What they believe in is irrelevant. There is an objective reality, which no self-belief will ever change. People need to stop using Foreman as an example of "everything is possible". For God's sake, its not like he took the belt off Lewis or Klitschko. Very commendable nonetheless, but c'mon.

He won't make a comeback imo. He's riding on the crest of a media wave and going to be making a fortune from it... The opportunities he's getting thrown his way will see to that..

Saying that, watching Mike **** Dana White out and all records will be broken...

If “he truly believes”? Really?
Well, Holyfield, Lennox and all the others maybe should come back because all they need is to “truly believe”.
Foreman was 45 when he beat Michael Moore, a small HW who couldn’t hurt him.

Faith based beliefs! I’ll be damned! Maybe Michael Jordan should come back too if he “truly believes”! 😂
