    With all the recent, comeback fight /exhibition s going on,
    If Tyson and Buster signed up for a 10 rounds fight, would you tune in?
    Both have plenty of time to get in to as good a shape as can be. More for Busters sake then Tysons. Lol

    So watch or give it a miss?

    I bet you mad as it sounds, it'd be sold out.
    It's that Tyson thing, even now.
    And the man who beat him opposite.

    No boxing is enough of a circus as it is.

    Yes. If Tyson wins it cancels out the first fight (if the 8th round KO doesn’t already).

    Make it happen so the Tyson fans can sleep at night.

    Yes. And given both are equally shot it evens out his loss.

    Same as when Tito avenged his loss to Lidell.

    NO.WAY.

    A fight must be only made when it still has some meaning. Two grandpas slugging is a travesti.

    Heck, I even refused to pay for Fairweather-Pacquiao because IMHO it was too late to make sense. But, it is just me.

    Hi there Fergy!

    The answer is NO. I don't like these old guys doing this. Seeing Evander Holyfield's "Exhibition" in recent times made me want to throw up.

    Alright Stevie?
    Yep, that Holyfield, what ever it was, was pretty grim wasn't it!
    Of all the fighters in recent years in the heavyweight s, no one proved themselves over and over, as much as he did.
    So to see him go out like that ahh, it was sad.
    As for a Buster v Tyson rematch, no I'd hate something like that now.
    Maybe a couple of years after the first fight but not now.
    But as I mentioned earlier, pound to a penny, it would probably be sell out.
    Just cos Tyson s in there.

    I agree with you mate - plenty of bums on seats because of Tyson's name.

    Be the same in five, ten years from now. They'll still be wanting to see him fight.

    I wonder what Buster is weighing these days? Likely not in as good trim as Mikey Mike but then does Buster even smoke weed, let alone as much as Mikey and the Funky Bunch crowd he hangs with?

    Maybe Busters only vice is eating to excess. Perhaps weed could help Douglas shed some pounds - or possibly exacerbate his woes.

    If it did happen, I wouldn’t be above sneaking a peek but could just as easily not go out of my way to watch - certainly I wouldn’t be paying a cent to view it.

    Surely, if it came off, Meyran comes out of retirement also to referee (complete original cast and characters please), carrying the biggest stop watch you’ve ever seen into the ring with him.

    As clear as day to the audience, due to his upheld gigantic stop watch, Octavio still gives Buster a 14 sec count if necessary and then turns to the booing audience to say “Do I look like a give 2 F***s? I’m De Man and the only man that matters!!
