Tyson v Holyfield 3 - "King in talks with Tyson"

[smashup]

I know it seems crazy but i'd love to see this

Does Mike Tyson want to come back? He is currently being wooed by Don King to return to the ring, and why not? King made a bundle off of Iron Mike, and Mike, on paper, made a bundle with King. The magic is there. King knew how to promote Tyson. When he returned to the ring after being incarcerated to face the no chance Peter McNeeley, King sold the fight and it received record buy rates. Bob Arum, long time rival of King, noted that the promotion was “genius.”

This is a fight I really have no interest in seeing. Tyson has shown no inclination of wanting to come back since McBride and has since become a mountain of a man. It's never going to happen. There's been rumours of this on and off for a few years now, I'd imagine this will slide like all the others.

Yeah he'd need to lose at least 5 stone maybe more.

Still would watch it...we all would and we know it

The sad thing about the Heavies is that these two are still the biggest names in the Division.

They'd sell more PPV than any other 2 fighters.

Haye and the Klits simply haven't got the fan base and these two are known world wide.

If anyone could pull him out of retirement it would be Don King. He holds the promotional rights for Tyson Holy 3 and thats why the fight never came off when Tyson was still active towards the end of his career.
King yanked Larry Holmes off the road of his touring band to get him to fight Tyson on three months notice, so Im sure King could get Tyson to comeback if he offers him enough cash.
Its like saying you wouldnt tune in to see Roy Jones fight Bernard Hopkins. Cmon, everyone would. They're both old and both legends, so anything could happen, but as someone said, Tyson doesnt seem to have any interest in fighting so if he shows up to act as a punching bag for Holyfield that would be sad.

I saw the mug shot from the photgrapher he hit and he isnt as out of sape as he looks, hes only about a stone heavier than his last fight, it said he was 240 somethig pounds, it also said he was 5,9"

Edit, for anyone who didnt realise, I mean6 the actual police photo of Mike taken at the station after being arrested for the LAX photographer incident a few weeks ago, the police weighed him at 240 something and had him as 5,9"

I dont think it would take much to get him fit to fight, hes always trained well and lost weight quick, when motivated. He just wouldnt want to put the effort in now, he hasnt for years. hed need a fuucking good reason now, more than money.

If someone could drag Mike away and get him back to the catskills as cheesy as it sounds, if he were to talk to Kevin and Steve again, I think if any comeback were to happen this is the only way it could with any success, Mike just doesnt and never has had the respect for any other trainer, even Roach got fuucked around by Mike, he would know Kevin wouldnt be there for the money and would just tell him to grow up if he stareted slacking.

I dont for one minute think Mike can be made in to the threshing machine he was 23 years ago but I do think he can still have success with Holyfield.

If he manned up and got past all the bullshiit that was his fault to start with then I do think he would be like a child showing off to his parents at a football game, just giving his all to please them, he could still beat Holyfield but the man needs to want to train because even now Holyfield is streets ahead, hes been figting regularly and if he fought Mike hed be fighjting someone that hasnt fought for 5 years and has been through rehab and all sorts of shiit, Mike would have to put a shiit load of effort in and I cant see him doing that for anyone else other than Rooney.

There has been so many Tyson comeback reports with little substance.

Im a bit suprised only one website is claiming this comeback if in fact its true.
The only thing that makes it somewhat believeable is Don King's track record of dragging fighters out of retirment.

He should do all that anyway without the fight. It is far too late for a come back. He has made up with King he should make up with Rooney and Steve.

Tipical Don King.


Looking after him self as usual.


If King wanted to help Tyson I am sure he could find him a job or somthing.


King is just a blood sucking parasite.
