    No he couldn’t, come on man the guy is 54 years old and hitting pads and competing are two drastically different things. If you really pay attention to him even hitting the pads he's fast but not that fast because the guy holding the pads makes him look quicker then it really is. Even that little add he just did where he’s hitting the bag for Chinatown, that’s what he would really look like in a fight. Look I love Tyson, always have and always will be a huge fan but it’s over and has been over since t he early 90’s. The sad thing is all of these reporters saying he looks ferocious and oMG and all that are things he’s reading and it might get him hurt.

    It’s going to be a different story when faced with a piston jab that snaps back the head, it wasn’t like was he was still fringe world title level 15 years , nothing wrong with an exhibition 2 round fight

    37 year old Tyson was beat up and stopped by Danny Williams and retired by the "Clones Colossus" Kevin Mcbride. But 54 y/o Tyson is gonna stop the biggest HW puncher of the last 15 years?

    Stop

    Tell you what...tyson looks incredible for 54 years old considering the life hes lived. Its actually a real pity he didnt quite reach his potential....luckily tho the standard he did hit will pretty much put him in the history books forever.

    He,d still knock out low ranked guys....which is an achievement for 54 years old. People need to be reslistic.

    Those pads would be the third most dangerous opponent Bootleg D has ever fought

    People are nuts to think Tyson would have a chance at 54 against any half decent heavyweight. He doesn’t look that good hitting th bag here

    He’d get hit hard and stopped or quit in a round. For goodness sake he quit against Kevin McBride 150 years ago

    Tyson wouldn't pass a drug test.

    Since his retirement 15 years ago, we've seen fat Mike Tyson, skinny Mike Tyson, stoned Mike Tyson, cartoon-mystery-solving Mike Tyson, motivational speaker Mike Tyson

    ... And now we have HGH Mike Tyson.

    And he's bulking up his muscles, getting lean and feeling like he wants to get laid again.

    We're watching an old athlete, juiced up, reliving his past in the gym. Glad he feels good.

    He should leave it at that.

    Although I don't think Wilder has a glass jaw I do think Mike's IQ and movement would trouble Wilder

    I think you,d struggle to find a more skilled heavyweight on the bag than that today btw. Fury, joshua and wilder cant hit a bag like that. They maybe can hit it harder but i dont think you,d find a video of any of them hitting a bag as quick as that.

    Agree with doublechin. Tyson is juiced...he looks absolutely solid seeing that video.

    I reckon tyson would be the most skilled active heavyweight alive if he came back right now. Hes still 54 with short dimensions tho. It wont go well against anyone good...although it,ll defo be interesting with the peds. It,ll be similar to shannon briggs who,s also juiced....a lot of guys wont be able to handle the power.
