    I think there are at least 300 pro heavyweight boxers who would beat Tyson and probably many than that. Tyson retired 15 years ago after getting KOed twice by two guys no where near contenders. Being out of the ring and 15 years older did not magically making him better. It made him 15 years older and 15 years worse as expected. Let him fight Holyfield who works out daily ever since he retired. Let him fight just one top 50 heavyweight and all the ****** talk about Tyson being world champ again will stop.

      Anyone remember George from the HBO days? He always said silly things like this.Yeah Mike can beat anyone once hes had a few rounds of a fat 50 year old middleweight clearly not trying to hit him.Youre obviously right George..

          Briggs is a fraud and a drug cheat.

              Have you seen the top 10 and top 20? They are mostly giant flabs of fat. Gigantic tubs of s h I t and goo. Yes Tyson had what you said he had. However what you failed to mention is that he also had tremendous one punch KO power.

              It’s extremely easy for him to get back into condition. Hell he’s over half way there. Age has little to do with it. There 60 year old still competing in triathlons. People scoff at things foreign to them. That’s why they dismiss someone that’s aged as if meh no. Throughout his career he didn’t take all that much punishment.

              I’ll be the first to say given the state of the HW division and the pigs that sit within it (minus a few) he’d wollop the fat tires a lot carry within the top 20
              Please don't compare competing in a triathlon at that age (I do, albeit slightly younger) to getting punched in the head by a 250+lb pro fighter half your age. There is no comparison. Period. Tyson would NEVER pass a drug test. He never would've passed a drug test in his prime. Tyson Fury (or any other decent sized current heavyweight) could lean on Mike for a round or two and Mike wouldn't even be able to stand up. They wouldn't even have to throw a punch. He was getting KO'd by journeymen 15 years ago. Let's be real here. And yes if he ever gets back in the ring as a pro I be cheering for him like I always did.

Danny Williams knows how to beat Tyson now ....hit him back. Tyson has never got up from a knock down to win a fight!Jones never hit Tyson back as he was too old and small but talk by Foreman of anything outside of this is dangerous and crazy .Mike Tyson is completely finished and should hang them up after leaving a better memory than be KO'd by a club fighter.
                Tyson was a ped cheat every fight of his career. With the current PED testing Tyson would either be Jarrel Miller or a cruiser weight.

                  Personally, I don't see where Mike looked all that great. I saw him pulling punches while carrying Roy Jones in that exhibition bout.
