I think if he were able to come down to 175, he could make it interesting. Tyson n is old, but he’s a freak of nature and I think he could ko a guy at 175. Also if he got to 175 and was ripped, I’d know he was in peak shape and condition. I do not think he could compete at the highest level of heavyweight.
If Mike Tyson is serious about fighting real fighters then...

Probably not, but I think it's crazy people think any club fighter will have their way with him.
The world is filled with stories of people who do remarkable things, learning to walk again, finding the drive and determination to participate in special Olympics.....I think it's wild people find it hard to believe a former pro fighter can compete at a high level again just because hes older and retired.
Times have have changed, and old ain't what it used to be. And let's not forget, strength in the last to leave a fighter, which is pretty significant in the fight game. You can lose speed but timing trumps speed anyway, there is always a counter for anything in boxing.
Also I'm the type of guy you have to prove you lost it to, I always give people the benefit of the doubt. Why not?
I'm excited to see what he can do, and that goes for all fighters coming back. It's inspiring. Isn't it?Comment

Id agree, about 25/30 year ago...
He's not been a freak of nature for an age..
He was getting embarrassed back then by bums, so putting him against fighters 20+ years on against fighters near on 30 years younger in a weight where they are even faster is boarderline suicidal...
Exhibition talk is what it is and then I can't see that ending happily if it did ever get pulled off....Comment

I’d pay money to see Tyson vs Canelo at a catch weight of 190. I think it’s a fight that would probably come close to setting a pay per view record.Id agree, about 25/30 year ago...

All hypothetical and As much as it pains me, I'd say yes and could be pretty comfortably..
As much as sparring goes etc, There's no substitute for active fighting.. and Tyson is an old man with a near on life of body misuse. He may look good for his age, he may look good over a couple of minute video, but going toe to toe with an active boxer such as Canelo then I'd have to side with him.
We could say what if Tyson lands one, but what if he doesn't?Comment
