    I can see a Vegas residency coming soon, revolving cast of stiffs interspersed with Mike chat and reefer smoke.

    That would be interesting, although not enough interest in it I think from most viewers.

    I'd prefer to see Tyson vs Lewis really. Tyson vs Holyfield would be interesting but I don't want to see bear hugging for 8 rounds.

    He needs to put the blunt down and think about what could happen to him.

    Yeah but he was small and moved down on Ali's advice, your point?

    Mike should take a series of actual fights (not exhibitions) against everyone he lost to. From Buster Douglas to Lennox Lewis to McBride. He has the age, skill, power, and most importantly the hunger to KO all of them. Especially Holyfield.

    Why? Because other than Buster Douglas, all the others who beat Tyson beat a washed up, older faded Tyson and had no qualms with it. Especially Lewis who wanted an immediate rematch with Tyson after he beat him to make more money.

    Now the tables are turned and Tyson should make them offers they can't refuse. Tyson gets his redemption and retires into the sunset.

    Exhibition fights are ****.

    If there's no winner what's the point? Do it properly or not at all.

    No he wouldn't. Holyfield is punch drunk and only looks like he is in physical shape, he'd get seriously hurt by Tyson now.

    Not sure how you can evaluate that. Holyfield speaks much better than Tyson now. Mike can’t get three words out without getting choked up, stuttering or losing track of thought. Holyfield also was still a fringe world level fighter years after Mike was forced out of the sport because he couldn’t beat anybody ranked inside the top 100.
