I heard some buzz about this a while back on the forums...But it was not confirmed and just talk.....But really going to happen huh?...This has to be nothing more then for a grudge purpose....I mean Tyson is just about out of debt with the IRS and is bringing in money with appearances his film, his cameos and his wife has some dollars I think....I swear everyday is something new and outrageous in this sport...I mean Camacho Sr is fighting again......These guys just dont know when to quit lol.....

I blame Foreman and Hopkins for this....I mean they set bthe example....Problem is these other guys aren't skilled like George and Bernard are at the same age

Tyson once said, he could "sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating"...I guess we're going to see if he was right...

At one time crazy as it sounds he was right.....Though I am not sure exactly what type of crowd would have bought the tickets BUT...

I dont think Mike has signed anything, King is deffinitly courting him though.

There were a few names mentioned, apparently Mike was hesitant at jumping straight in with anyone who is half way decent, Vinny Maddalone was the only opponent I would take for Mike out of the ones mentioned, even then, Mddalone would make Mike work, mike doesnt want to fight otherwise he would still be doing his anual comebacks, its deffinitly a quick easy way for hi to earn cash bur you just know, its all too late to see that dynamic fighter any more.

I cant lie, id still love to see him throw some combinations but Mike wont be doing this to better his standings, its for cash, so cue the sitting out a fight half way though again then.

Sad but there isnt One fighter active today anyone would fancy over the 88 Mike tyson

I think Tyson could be a huge draw if he returns. People love come backing legends, especially in boxing and if he is matched right I think he stands a good chance to fight Haye in a few fights. Haye vs Tyson would be huge if Tyson's path is chosen safely.

Same fools that pay to go and stand open mouthed in front of the Monkey cage at the zoo, they do the same thing except throw it at them.

Tyson is a joke , and we shouldnt give him the time of day , he couldnt beat an egg these days , so who cares what he says anymore.

Grow up for fuucks sakes

Im sure Ali would have trouble litterally breaking an egg but hes not a joke, him and Mike are still regarded as the greatest 2 heavyweights over the last 40 years

[Hornfinger]

The word gullable comes to mind.....

Yes Gullable sums the whole thing up very well....

[gstarsgstarry]

Absolute nonsence Tyson would never fight for Don King AGAIN ! He clearly hates the guy and who can blame him King is a scumbag

"I found out that someone I believed was my surrogate father, my brother, my blood figure turns out to be the true Uncle Tom, the true nigger, the true sellout. He did more bad to black fighters than any white promoter ever in the history of boxing."

Tyson on King

[salty trunks]

There is absolute truth to this rumor. Tyson is also clearly a lot leaner than he was four months ago. King is working with a group of people to get Tyson in shape and I believe the comeback will be announced very soon. One of the guys who was working for King and Tyson was arrested down in Palm Beach Florida last week.

King would be smart to hire Rooney on as trainer as that would make his sale job a lot easier to the public. As someone said everyone loves a comeback story.

It's alll about the vitamins. That's what he needs... vitamins
Take all the vitamins you want, Mike. You are always going to be a fat f***, because you don't give a s*** about boxing anymore. You've exploited everybody who has taken advantage of you, and now you want to come back for one more hoorah!?

Do 1 thing, Tyson. Sell your tickets to your fancy dinners. Give your speeches, collect them checks, and just be healthy. I would buy one of your tickets if you came by my way! Just please stay outta the ring.
