    Mike Tyson Potential Comeback

    Do you think Mike Tyson at 54yr could cause trouble to modern day heavyweights?

    Iron Mike stops everyone outside of Fury and Usyk. AJ is a 50/50 fight but if Tyson is even a shell of himself, he should be able to bring AJ down to his level with speed and body shots.

    Guys like Parker, Ruiz Jr, get mauled.

    Ortiz is actually a really interesting fight to me, he also is like Usyk and Fury in that he has the talent to box Mike from the outside, but he is also probably hit more than both Fury and Usyk and Mike stops anyone he can hit flush enough.

        He retired himself almost 20 years ago because he was losing and getting knocked out by average fighters He knew if he could no longer beat mediocre fighters it was time to retire. So why in the hell would he suddenly become good enough to compete at the top level when he is almost 20 years older and 40 pounds overweight and out of shape? The short answer is no, he should stay retired. Any top 20 heavyweight would murder him with ease. Any Tyson fan should remember him in his prime and hope he stays retired.

            Tyson couldn't even beat journeymen 15-16 years ago. He'd get wrecked by anybody in the top 50.

                Mike would be top 5, not long ago he was 53 now 54 and getting sharper by the week so one could easily have him knocking out the Povetkins, Ortiz’s and Whytes, I don’t think Wilder would last long to be honest . Style wise Mike only needs one clear shot for a guy like that . Fury and AJ he will run into some problems . He looks tremendous now and has converted his Ranch into a full time gym .

                    Mike as of training now if he can bring half of that to the ring which he would ? I don't see many lasting long and it depends what Tyson shows up really. We don't or won't know until he threw the first punch but theres a reason many wont want to do a charity fight unless they are paid its only a number right , what 54 ?... .
