    Did Tyson just improve his legacy?

    With as good as Tyson looked at 54 arguably better than his last few fights pre-retirement and the fact he's probably the most loved by the general public since before his **** trial.

    Has Mike actually improved his legacy in boxing this late in the game?

    He didn’t look better, he was just fighting a guy also in his 50’s.

    Both looked old, because they are.

    People over analyse it, it makes no difference to his legacy.

      Looked better...

      He fought a shot former middleweight in his 50s, that is still an easier fight than a HW contender like McBride was (his last fight).

        I'd say so. He definitely did not hurt his legacy at all. Good job, champ!

          NO! However what he did was reach a younger Demo that never seen him and only knows of him because of his Podcast and his Ranch

            54 year old Mike Tyson would lose to at least 100 current active heavyweights.

              Tyson's legacy is set in gold and it can't be improved. Tyson and Muhammad Ali are the two Two Kings of boxing. Losing to McBride does not matter. Losing to Williams does not matter. We saw Mike Tyson at his best and that's all that counts. For that is what he was intended to be.

                Yes I think he adds to the adage that power is the last thing to go...

                  Very much so he looked so good I feel no Roy beat any Tyson after yesterday...And Roy at his A game is rare air...

                  Its Evident now with a majority of his losses Tyson beat Tyson by not training and quitting mentally

                    Should've rematched McBride.
