I hope this doesnt happen. Tyson's looked poor against mediocre opposition in Williams and McBride. And those bouts were a long time ago now. I loved Tyson but there is no way back for him now.
Like CMM said I hope it never gets beyond glorified sparring in exhibition fights if Tyson is ever to be back.
Tyson was gonna fight Bobb Sapp under queensbury rules. I wish that would have gone ahead. It would have been a freak show to top all freak shows.

It cant be Iron Mike Tyson surely!!!He's totally over weight man.He's about 20 stones now.He wont be ready and fit enough to fight this year for sure,unless he is not bothered on losing easy!

It's sad, I think the only reason this is being considered is because of his debt.

We will get many more of these rumours but just as Elvis is dead it will not happen.
What?? Elvis isnt dead. I just saw him at the grocery store. :PQuote:

However, it would be a delight to have Tyson back in boxing as a color commentator. I really don't get why this has happened yet...

Off topic, I read Roy Jones call the DLH/Pacman fight a good fight.... hahah what a joke. Well, I understand Jones is a business man and would love the chance to fight the guy who stole some of his thunder (DLH), but everyone knows DLH vs Pac would be a total mismatch.
Although I'm by no means a Tyson fan, I would for some reason be hoping for an unlikely rejuvinated Tyson performance BUT I cant even see a fight happening never mind a throw back performance.
I am a Tyson fan and I dont really want to see this but only because I know if it happens its gonna be done all wrong again.
I would watch no matter what but all he needs to do is fight real bums, anyone with no chance of beating him, old cruisers, if its good enough for James Toney, Lamon Brewster, Hasim Rahman and all the other heavys, why is Mike never allowed to fight a succession of bums?
Ok, McBride and Williams arent exactly world beaters but both had big advantages over Mike, age and size being the main ones.
What Mike would need is at least half a dozen 1 round blowouts before he even got any confidence back but with the confidence would come some desire to fight and win.
He could travel the world giving any local heavy or cruiser a weeks notice, basiclly just an exhibition but one where Mike smashes someone up;D
I dont think Mike would ever do whats needed to beat a champ any more but he could still be a success, or at least entertaining and even if it were only bums hes fighting, I guarantee you everyone would go to youtube to see him splatter
The bottom line is that mike was so good beause he was so crazy and had that fire in his eye that was so intimidating. this same fire made him crazy outside the ring too. Well now mike is finally behind all that and living a normal life and some idiots want him to try to get the fire back!?If he does get the fire back he might end up back in jail, if he doesnt he will get badly beaten. A very simple lose lose situation.
