Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson: Holyfield Trilogy Would Be Awesome For Charity

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is very much on board with a potential trilogy fight against his career rival, Evander Holyfield. Holyfield pulled off a major upset when he stopped Tyson in eleven rounds in 1996.

That of course will be the fight that happens if one happens at all. But what a hype letdown. Everybody that's excited and hyping Tyson are hoping that the fantasy of him fighting for a title comes off. I for one would be interested in seeing Mike in a sparring video. It's one thing to see his speed and power on the mitts but I would like to see how his defense holds up before seeing him back in a ring. A prime example of this is Eubank Jr throwing a thousand punches a minute on the bag...but barely landing any in a fight

This would be awesome indeed! But if Tyson catches him with one or two crisp hard shots? Holyfield said he's gonna respond in kind! I don't see how they're gonna "spar" in a friendly exhibition without their competitive juices spilling over... We may end up with a round (or two) where these guys go for broke!.....Imo, Tyson wins it this time around, but that's only if Holyfield doesnt resort to grabbing him

It's a great idea and, for a good cause, would be a terrific thing.

Holyfield has brain damage, hope it really would be a straight just have fun type of exhibition.

True. There's this framed contraption Eubank Jr steps into to fire off those thousands of shots. But he's standing in one place while firing. It's like developing and working on a bad habit.

If somehow the contraption could move while he's punching - to develop his body mechanics while moving his feet, I think would benefit him greatly. Eubanks is unwittingly stunting his growth - I say get rid of the thing.....

Getting back to Mike. A sparring video would answer a lot. To miss a moving target (an opponent) is such an eeeasy thing to do at 53. The guy working the pads for Mike, is trying very very hard to place the pads in firing range - to make Mike look like young Mike.....

And hopefully Mike doesnt go crazy with the heavy weightlifting like he did at the tail end of his career, it slowed down his explosiveness big time! Not to mention - his new lungs with his love of weed.... There's a lot to consider... Mike better face reality and simply have some money raisin' fun with some exhibition matches, while attempting the 12rnd pro stuff on PS4.

Make it happen. A nice 5 rounder 🥊

It will be a light sparring match, probably with headgear.... But sure why not? Should be decent fun.

Charity my ass. These 2 MF's are not doing this fight for free. If the fight grosses 5m they'll both want 2m & give the remaining 1m to charity.
