    If only he put in this amount of effort in his 30s. He would have done better than he did against Holyfield and Lewis

    A wasted talent.

    no he did not. Both Roy and Mike looked slow and I don't know what to day about how they looked. Slow and not sharp. They looked like what they were. Two old guys who were doing and exhibition. If Mike fought a real heavyweight who landed big punches on him how would he do? How long would it last. I don't think he goes too long without being stopped.

    wow you're a hard guy to please. Considering Tyson has had a layoff for 15 years, had to lose over 100lbs in weight, was 54 years old, I don't think he done too bad. Obviously in your view Tyson was ****. Let me add though that your opinion is in the miniority.

    It is just an opinion. He got in shape and punched and Roy was smaller and he fought and how good did he look? I mean he looked like he was Tyson. He sparred another old guy. Boxing is a tough sport and it takes skills of a young man. People want to see Tyson fight now I guess. It will just lead to him thinking he could fight as a professional again and that will end with him being stopped again.

    Of course if he fought a heavyweight who's younger, fitter, more active, then of course Tyson would get stopped. We're not saying Tyson is going to be a heavyweight champion again, we're saying he didn't look too bad for a guy in his situation.

    I just don't see what this means. He didn't look too bad, but as far as being in fighting prime he looked slow and not good. I know people will say well 1.2 million ppv why not keep doing it? It is the brain stuff and being hit at that age. For what? It is still getting hit. He didn't look good. Watch the Tyson/Jones exhibition and then go watch Tyson against Holmes and compare.

    What? You want me to compare a 54 year old to himself at 20 years old, and then i'm supposed to be shocked that the 20 year old version was better in every department? I think you're trolling LOL

    This trolling word is deceptive. What does it mean because from what I see Tyson is trolling the public with the exhibitions stuff. I want real boxing and young fighting showing great skills. This fight this weekend with Garcia and Spence is what I want to see, and to see it lead to Crawford.

    Tyson always knew how to punch. The technique was always elite even when he was a shot fighter.

    Muscle memory does not just disappear even if the speed and reflexes do.

    I would say that if the exhibition boxing is going to catch on then they do need to have judges and have a result.

    You cant just it is a draw when one man (Mike Tyson) clearly wins at a canter.

    You also do need to allow the fighters to go for knock outs.
