Re: Tyson's next 3 possible opponents:
You know the funny thing is you mention roy jones jr...
But actually i believe after the ruiz fight..
Which may have been just before or just after The terrible performance against danny williams...
Ro had just gained the heavyweight title and was saying i want one more fight ..
And i want it to be tyson.. And roy would have beat tyson and retired..
And we all know that tarver annoyed him down to lightheavy and lost one..Then sparked him...
If only tyson had taken the fight :-\ :'( LOL :P
Peace

I was just about to post along these lines, Tyson is going downtown, a real shame that the only thing he's training for now is his wet hand soap holding technique :o
Re: Tyson's next 3 possible opponents:
HAHAHA
Honestly IF and that's a BIG IF Mike was still fighting he'd be best served to fight the following
1. Wladimir Klitschko...get your money out of your ass whipping
2. Nicolay Valuev....he got stunned by Monte Barrett, you can hit harder than that can't you Mike???
3. Shannon Briggs, HUGE fight at MSG
others he COULD have fought and had a good chance at
James Toney
Chris Byrd
Jameel McCline
DaVaryl Williamson
Joe Mesi
Tommy Morrison
Re: Tyson's next 3 possible opponents:
...oh and last but not least Riddick Bowe....HUGE fight at MSG
Re: Tyson's next 3 possible opponents:
Any opponent and any venue would be a huge money making fight for Tyson, no matter what you rate his chances of winning (no matter who hes fighting) theres still plenty of people who'd pay to watch it. But whats important is that he doesnt want to fight again and knows that he cant - and as much as ive enjoyed watching him in the past im glad hes called it a day. Fighting on will at best only serve to damage his image and the memory of whats been a great career and at worst really hurt the guy. Hes done.
Re: Tyson's next 3 possible opponents:
I'll stop believing in Tyson when they bury him. When you think about how great he was and the respect he gets now, it's mindboggling. Tyson on his best day, would have beaten any other HW on their best day.
Re: Tyson's next 3 possible opponents:
except Ali... though if they fought 10 times in their prime Tyson would probably win a few... :P

Lol...CC for the Purdy
Re: Tyson's next 3 possible opponents:
Tyson is more washed up than Danny Williams' favourite plate!
It would not be a good idea for him to return in any capacity.
Short pressure fighters only have short primes & his prime was TWENTY years ago.

I agree that Ali because of his cleverness and great chin would have the best chance but I think Tyson would get the better of a 10 fight series cause Ali's chin would be softened up a little each time.

I believe if someone can re-engineer him, like they did with Foreman, I mean let Tyson throw 100 jabs a round, he's got a great power jab, he can even double and triple it up, Ive seen him do it, and forget the damn old style power swarmin garbage, his legs wont allow that anymore, and his loss of head movement.
I feel he can beat guys by pacing himself, counterpunching more, and jabbing thier heads off--OH also, FIGHTING SOMEBODY CLOSER TO HIS OWN SIZE THAN LENNOX LEWIS OR THAT BIG IRISH GUY.
I sure would love a Tyson/Holyfield 3. What about a Tyson/Holmes 2?? If I were Larry Id go for the revenge at this point.
Tyson's next opponent could be against some big sweaty and hairy inmate name Joe in Prison

Tyson's years as a legit fighter are OVER. And they have been for a long time. I'm not directing this comment at any one person in particular, but Tyson fans are far and away the most irrational fanbase in boxing.
Yeah I wish they jump on board the Tua Bandwagon ! David still have what it take, and now that he is putting the fork down and making some things happen. I see great things the next few years ! It's Tua Time ! ;) O0
I still think Tyson should stay retired, as I posted earlier.
However, Tue vs Tyson is the fight I wanted to see back in the late 90's in one of the tyson comebacks.
I was feeling these big heavyweights were getting too big for tyson.
Tua Tyson would have been THE brawl of the 90's if it ever happened.

i think prime holmes would beat tyson aswell and ali aswell and no tyson wouldnt beat ali in series of 10 imo

tyson doesnt have heart and determination, like holyfield......otherwise he could still be a good fighter
