Re: Holyfield v Tyson 3 :(
It would be funny if they hype the shit out of this fight and Tyson quits on his stool in the 3rd :p
Re: Holyfield v Tyson 3 :(
I can picture these 2 in the scene out of days of Thunder where the guys are both confined to wheel chairs and still have to compete against each other...
I'm sure these 2 will want to be placed in the same nursing home so they can have hyped up wheelchair battles daily...
But seriously, with the state of heavyweight boxing at the moment, having the names Holyfield vs Tyson on a fight card is just that final last bit of heavyweight spark that has all but died out for this division... I hope that the glory days will return, but at the moment, Holyfield & Tyson could be 70 y/o a peice and still draw the same money/hype as the current fighters..
Heavyweight needs NEW legends!
Sorry Lyle, I'm a Klity brothers fan as well, but that magic, show time, hype, worldstopping, glamour, fame, fortune, etc has gone out of the heavyweight division... We boxing fans are lucky and know that other weights have champions worth watching and following... But the heavyweight division is where boxing spreads it's wings to the world of sports fans... Unfortunately those wings at the moment are like little bright budgie wings fluttering about, instead of big soaring deadly eagle/hawk/vulture wings of the 60's to 90's ready to swoop down and kill any who aren't paying attention....
Re: Holyfield v Tyson 3 :(
You know whats sad
Ive been watching their most recent fights lately
If,and this is a BIG if,if Mike shows up with a good corner,he could actually win this
And that would put him right back in to the mix
Re: Holyfield v Tyson 3 :(
They both should just retire, both of them shouldnt be aloud to fight no more.
If this fight happends the winner of this fight will probally have another fight after that and the way the division is they probally will get a title shot.
Re: Holyfield v Tyson 3 :(
It's not April 1st yet is it???
Re: Holyfield v Tyson 3 :(
Dont care how wased up they are
Tyson is Tyson
I am excited
Re: Holyfield v Tyson 3 :(
I read Tyson being quoted."I will not disrespect the great sport of boxing by fighting anymore" (or along those line) this was the last time a Journey man beat him.
So hopefully Tyson sticks to his word or has some self-respect left not to embaress himself.Mind every man has his price,and last i heard Mike was broke.
Re: Holyfield v Tyson 3 :(
i do hope this doesn't happen
Re: Holyfield v Tyson 3 :(
It has been awhile since anyone mentioned Tyson fighting again in the forum. I thought to myself the other night I wonder when the topic would come up again. It would be a sad fight to watch. Neither man can sustain a full offensive fight for three consecutive rounds any more so what is the use. I really think they need to force Holyfield into permanent retirement at this point. jmo
Re: Holyfield v Tyson 3 :(
I just have a horrible feeling Evander will end up hurt :(
Re: Holyfield v Tyson 3 :(

LOL the funny thing is Holmes probably has more let in the tank than Tyson.
Re: Holyfield v Tyson 3 :(
Well I did suggest before Tyson's losses to McBride and Williams and right after the Lewis fight that Mike should fight Evander until he beats him.
I am actually shocked that Evander would get in the ring with him.
I always wanted to see Tyson fight the following: Moorer, Morrison, Mercer, McCall, Tua, Ruiz, and Rahman....but I don't even want to see him fight any of those guys anymore.
The time is now for Reality TV Mike!
Re: Holyfield v Tyson 3 :(
I seriously hope this fight does NOT get the go ahead.It would'nt be interesing for any promoter whatsoever!What's the point in it.Just when boxing is on such a HIGH world wide....some idiot mentions the good old days battles of the noble art game and reckon their can bring them great days back with old Punch drunk boxers.The Sport of BOXING is a NOBLE ART in it own right,so please dont agree that this fight would be great for the sport because its NOT!It's a BLOODY JOKE!And not a funny one at that.
