Comments Thread For: Hatton: I Can't See Any Good From a Tyson vs. Briggs Fight

[famicommander]

Hatton is correct here.

Especially for Mike.

Briggs would absolutely destroy Mike in 2020.

Briggs:
-Won his last 9 fights, 8 by KO
-Last won in 2016
-48 years old
-Last held a world title in 2007, lost the WBO strap by UD12 to Sultan Ibragimov

Tyson:
-Lost his last two fights by KO, both to journeymen, in 2004 and then 2005
-Last won in 2003
-54 years old by the time this fight could happen
-Last held a world title in 1996, knocked out by Holyfield
-Last beat a semi-decent opponent in 1999 (aging Frans Botha)

Briggs is about 13 years past his peak, Mike Tyson is over 30 years past his peak

Tyson ko's Briggs

You're delusional. Briggs was winning fights less than 4 years ago and had some training camps since then.

Tyson's last win was in 2003 against a total bum, then he got knocked out by two bums in 2004 and 2005 before retiring. 15 years out of the game, 17 years without a win, 21 years since he beat anybody with a pulse.

Peak Tyson murders Briggs, but in 2020 Mike has zero chance.

They are both old, as slow as molasses, centuries past their peak so let them fight. No one between them has any venom so if they can make some dimes why not?

Tyson slow as molasses? Go look at recent Tyson workout videos. He is faster still than almost all the top 10 heavyweights and 20 years younger out there today.

It’s to bad he is dead. But a neat fight today actually would have been Tyson vs Kimbo Slice

No he isn't. Anybody can look good shadowboxing or hitting bags.

Tyson was already slow when Lennox Lewis beat him 20 years ago.

It was funny when Floyd Sr., got mad at Hatton between the 1st round and 2nd round when Manny drilled him. Why would any trainer try to show Hatton how to stick and move against Manny when he has been an aggressive brawler his entire career, that’s hilarious. Manny was licking his chops. Manny was like, “is he really going to walk straight into my power, no head movement, no angles, just a straight line?”

Briggs likes to talk out of his a$$ a lot so i take what he says with a grain of pepper.

Mike is using a comeback/ charity fight to motivate himself to get in shape... But at the same time he's putting himself in a spot to unleash those demons that once made him great but also destroyed him.

We all want the mike from the glory days of excitement and entertainment and a 3 or 4 round fight with another great would be entertaining but idk... Lets say he did really try to make 1 last splash at a title shot. What would he really be 55 maybe? I wouldn't take a real comeback serious but it's mike tyson and he's unpredictable but the guy has lived like 5 different lives so i wouldn't count it out.

No man, everyone can be fast for a few seconds for instagram videos. Tyson has been knocked out before and another hit to the head will splatter all his brains to the ears, if he can be fast under such conditions then you call him fast.

Your comment was as funny as a one legged man in an a $ $ kicking contest.
