    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.

    No chance, no way, impossible, will never ever happen.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I would and I wouldn't want to see this fight. In order for it to look anything like a competitive fight Mike would have to come off his meds. Mike seems like he's a very nice guy now and I think he's afraid of going back to what he was without the meds. I think he was on them for his fight with Lewis and was only able to mount enough aggression for one round and just got battered the rest of the fight. Only one person knew how to keep Mike in line and he's loooooong gone.

    As far as I know, Mike isnt on any meds, he was being followed by people from the detox centre everyday when he came out but I dont know if he still is.

    Mikes behaviour isnt as much from any substaces as it is the idiots that still follow him, hes the same as any bloke, surround him with a bunch of little wankers and he will play up to the crowd.

    Mike is bored, he needs something to occupy his time, if he wants to fight Holyfield, let him, hell earn millions, hell have probably a reality tv programme about the build up, maybe even a reunion with Rooney and Lott, that would be a huge attention grabber and then after a few months a massive event, whether or not he wins, he will earn millions, if thats what he needs so be it.

    Even though Holyfield has been quite busy over the last few years a fight between the two could still be entertaining for at least a couple of rounds and thats more that you can say about some recent heavy fights.

    Edit, scrap the reunion with Rooney and Lott, if Kings involved he wont have anyone who could get Mikes attention and who may have his best interests at heart talk to him, King is clutching at straws now he has no decent heavies
