    Tyson has already said he is doing exhibitions for charity. Any talk of him coming back as a professional is ludicrous. He is probably having fun with people speculating.

    He knows he would get flattened, he knows the work and punishment he would have to take in order to get into fighting shape at nearly 54, to be able to take punches from the likes of wilder. His already injured body probably wouldn’t make a week Of a proper training camp.

    Also Tyson would still go the high energy route, which would be pretty cool to see in an exhibition, but he would gas in about one minute. To come back as an old fighter he would have to adapt his style which he has never been able to do, he was always built as a high intensity fighter, he wouldn’t be able to over power people with his build like Foreman did.

    Even George, one of the most successful old heavyweights of all time would have no chance at this age. Amazing what a few clips can do, guess it shows the interest Tyson can still generate after all these years. People will still think he can come back once he’s dead and buried.

    That was after doing 70 rounds against 11 different sparring partners, its to be expected..Once he gets his legs back, shakes the ring rust, heavyweights are gonna be running again, just like 86

    Shannon the Cannon probably obliterates this version of Tyson.

    This could be a case of reverse racism going on. All these black former champs see that the HW division is now ruled by the white Tyson Fury who is becoming super popular and they want to try and steal his thunder. Remember Tyson made dumb "white boy" comments on par with what Hopkins and Haney have said

    If the sparring is true, I think we've yet to see peak Tyson. And if that's true, I can't possibly give Douglas or Holyfield any credit for beating a green, inexperienced Iron Mike.

    The phrase is 'into oblivion''. The South American nation didn't exist before the phrase did.

    I can't believe how people here are speculating about how he would do.

    He lost to Kevin McBride, who was a journeyman, 15 years ago. He looked much better than that back then.

    He would lose to Dave Allen, aged 53. The man is old and has not been seen without a spliff for long enough.

    IF (and it’s a big if) Wilder survives his next fight and emerges with any credibility at all, his handlers will not put him in with Mike Tyson, they wouldn’t take the risk!!
