Tyson-Holyfield III in September?

[HOMETOWN CHAMP]

I don't think the chances of them getting hurt is as bad as people make them out to be. I mean there both old and its not like either of them is fighting Wald or some other top ranked fighter. Besides Larry Holmes fought until he was in his fifties.

I have to be consistent.Looooong time Holyfield Fan.He should be retired and Tyson is so far past his quality fighting days they are but a memory.This is an "event" and I'll pass .That worst thing that comes of It Is It will convinve the "winner" that thay actually have a viable chance ay regaining there former glory.............enough already!

This fight is as good as it is bad. You're bound to get an action fight for at least the first 3 rounds. Holyfield is a workhorse but his body has betrayed him. Tyson has all the mechanics of a monster still and could probably still be formidable, but his mind has betrayed him. I saw the replay of Toney-Holyfield a couple weeks ago and, truth be told, I don't know if Holyfield could have beaten that version of Toney in his prime. Holyfield honestly didn't look bad in the first few rounds. His reflexes were slower, but his power was still there and so was his chin. Holyfield's biggest problem was that shoulder. He couldn't get that left arm up for an effective jab. Now the shoulder works, but what if Tyson punches him in it a few times? What if Holyfield uses his third punch?

If Mike can get his mind back to the early days, he destroys Holyfield. If he doesn't and comes in looking for a whallup of a shot, Holyfield plays paddy-cake with his face for a half hour. This match-up is impossible to predict because the only certainty is that it will be a spectacle. If the promoters know what they're doing they'll load this up with a huge undercard of hungry guys with something to prove to take the possible sour taste out of the fans' mouths before they can taste it.

Not sure about that. Tyson was surely physically and mentally prepared for the first Holyfield fight and he got the hiding of his life.

Tyson hasn't been in his prime since 88 and hasn't been able to properly get it together since that time. Do people really think he will get it together for this fight ?? i doubt it. But maybe the money can inspire him to train hard and maybe the revenge aspect might help him as well. But i can actually see another DQ win for Holyfield.

Tyson lost to McBride FFS!!! How on earth is he going to beat Holyfield who at least has been competitive over the last 2 years. Unless it is a 3 rounder, he is getting beat badly. This would be as sad as watching Ali get beat up by Holmes or Berbick.
