        He could've fought him after he came out of prison. Why didn't he?

            Yeah.

            They’re clueless.

                Ha!

                He didn’t fight for 4 years due to prison.

                He didn’t fight a top 10 HW for 5 years due to prison.

                Three of the guys he’s accused of ducking did nothing before he went to prison, and then retired shortly after he’d been released.

                The thread is garbage.

                    Who?

                    Yes, his team didn’t want him to fight anybody dangerous in the late 90’s and early 00’s. That can’t be denied. But he can’t be accused of ducking guys like Morrison, Bowe and Foreman before that period.

                        errrrrrrrrrr......because Don King already lined up and gave him a fight against a complete bum in Peter McNugget for $20,000,000 and lined him up another easy fight against Mathis Jr for the same money and then two easy championship fights. By the time Tyson had fought Holyfield he has already made closed to $100,000,000 for 4 very easy fights. What did Ray Mercer offer, apart from a headache?


                        Why would he take on a high risk low reward fight against Ray Mercer? They always planned the path of least resistance and highest money.

                            - - What grade U in then.

                            Gonna fight Mercer for warm up rds before Lewis, but Lewis sued and then sweetened the Pot to pay off Mercer with extra for Mike.

                            1st grade?

                                    Ray Mercer couldn't even beat Jesse ferguson let alone tyson.

                                        Would loved to see Tyson v mercer. Not sure Tyson fought famed tough chin guys who could fight also.
