    He can be competitive on the seniors circuit or in exhibitions against retired boxers of his age.

    But at that age he wouldn’t be competitive against anyone in the top 60 in the world.

    He was stopped by Kevin McBride 15 years ago FFS. He hasn’t got any better since then

    Mike was always good at making an exhibition of himself.

    I want to know what his team was smoking.

    Why fight Williams and McBride, who both had huge size and weight advantages? He could have been fighting guys who were 6’, 215 and just bulldoze them.

    He can still beat small heavies with poor to moderate chins.

    There should be an old-timer round robin between Tyson, Bowe, Lewis and Holyfield. I'd pay to watch that.

    Put all your money on Wilder, my friend.

    Mike isn't Superman.

    Mike is a genetic freak. No surprise he's retained that sort of speed and power. He was working with a massive upper limit in his prime to begin with. It's the gas tank ppl should be questioning.

    In any case I'm glad this is happening. Regardless of his age or the seriousness of his next bout, there's a fervour to this "comeback" that can't help but be fueled by our collective reminiscence of his menacing history and rank among HW legends. Seeing him on those pads with that classic Tyson pivoting brings it all back. Let's just enjoy it in this present context.

    You're an idiota. Tyson beat lot of fighters who was much more heavier than 215 pounds and taller than 6'.
    Go to hell with your fake attitude !
