If you can make mils sitting on your old ass, maybe you should listen to them.

I feel like we’re not far off the reality of Rocky 6

Now why the fuck would Mike do that ****** shit for? He can hit with power in either hands. Which means he will always be a dangerous opponent in the ring.

Mike is clearly bored and needs some excitement in his life. His kids are right, he needs to chill. Mikes height will work against him now, trying to work his way in against a 6'5" heavyweight with a good jab is not going to work like it did when he was 20. Even decent head movement will be nullified when a big heavy guy connects. Where has Mike practiced punch resistance at 54?

Fenech is right, Fury is knocking guys out and is "not a huge puncher." Its because Fury has incorporated grappling, karate, blood licking and wrestling into the sport of 'boxing.' Knocking an opponent out is the icing on the cake when 300lbs of Leaning Smother has smothered and hung himself all over you - since the beginning of the fight.... Heee Yaaah! Kung Fury did his thing, just needs to kick in the third installment

Listen to your kids Mike. God bless you but you're not 'iron' anymore.

Maybe he can knock Wilder out if he lands flush on him. The problem is what if Wilder lands flush on him with the right.

Fenech is right Mike would do Wilder in ,let’s see if Mike stays with his mind set of destroying Jones and goes off script in a possible preview.

What a lot of boxing fans don’t understand but knowledgable boxing fans get it, is Mike could take a really hard shot. It took an accumulation of punches to get Mike out. So Wilder wouldn’t get Mike out with 1 shot with Mike’s 20.5 inches neck size. Who has Wilder really knocked out that was a top contender in the HW division, Ortiz? Even Holyfield and Lennox said they hit Tyson with everything they had and those shots would normally get other guys out quicker. But Let’s review.

Buster Douglas although not a very hard puncher, hit Mike with everything but the kitchen sink for “10 rounds” before stopping him.

Holyfield in his 1st fight with Tyson, very hard puncher, hit Mike with everything but the kitchen sink for “11 rounds” before stopping him.

Lennox, very hard puncher, hit Mike with everything but the kitchen sink for “8 rounds” before stopping him.

Mike basically quit against Danny Williams and McBride.

So your trying to tell me Wilder who in his 1st real competitive fight against a top guy in the division, Ortiz, took 10 rounds in their 1st fight and 7 rounds in the rematch with an almost 40 year old who almost stopped him in their first fight, could get Mike out before Mike got him. And your telling me a guy who couldn’t knock out Fury who was basically out of boxing for a few years and after only 2 tuneup fights and still over weight in their 1st fight, could get Mike out before Mike got him.

Wilder can’t hurt and stop a “prime” Tyson or even this version of Tyson if he trained for 7-8 months? And there is a very sound reason why. I‘ve watched too much boxing over 30 years. Wilder has no skill fighting backwards and Fury showed everyone in the last round of the 1st fight and in the rematch, Wilder can’t fight backing up. What do you think Tyson will do? He will come forward every second of every round until he catches Wilder and he will, because wilder has NO SKILL fighting backwards or defending himself or holding or any savvy techniques to survive and set up his shots, he would get stopped and embarrassed by a 54 yr old. Wilder’s only chance would be to take it past 6 rounds. Wilder was embarrassing how he couldn’t counter anything Fury was doing. He had ZERO offense backing up. He got dropped with a little body shot because he balance is all messed up. Wilder got exposed and a 54 year old Mike Tyson with all his ring knowledge and boxing IQ would expose him too, and probably early.

Mike should listen to his kids who like many know it's a silly move
