Even at almost 40, I would love to see Mike do something! I'd hate to see him go out like a loser.

Angel poo.. I think he still can get into shape to fight. However, you are right. Mike doesn't have the desire right now. Still, I'm wondering if this will ever change? You never know. He still knows deep down inside who he really is. At this point, I still don't know if he can do anything spectacular - at least he would have to start at first by at least winning a fight or two. But, I still wouldn't sleep on him one day waking up someday and just getting that raging image back of wanting to go back into that ring. It's hard to lose that passion. It's almost like: "Once a fighter - Always a fighter."

The Tyson your talking about hasn't fought since Douglas in Tokyo all those years ago. When people saw he was beatable the aura around him evaporated.

Tyson has been a busted Flush ever since Tokyo, flattering to deceive at every opportunity. Every top quality fighter he has faced since then he has been found lacking, Lewis, Holyfield (twice).

Tyson was great but that was near 20 years ago! Hopefully he won't fight again.

there have been loads of glimers of the old tyson in his fights since douglass. watch the julius francis fight. he was so aggressive and relentless, and in the second holyfield fight. think it was the second round when he had some success. but good point, he was never the same since he split with rooney.

i hope to god that he doesnt. Although i wouldnt put it past him.

It is simply not going to happen; since James J Corbett a 100+ years ago, the rule has been established; Heavyweight Champions do not comeback, in old age.

And like all good rules, there has been one exception; George Foreman ;)

anyone think well ever see him in some kind of announcing/interviewing/commentating role?

Maybe Mike Tyson and James Toney could get together and lose some weight. Then they could fight for the lightweight title. ;)
