    Can it really be that this could ever happen? Man Hopkins/Jones is a wonder compared to this :patsch


    Anyone know more about this?

    There have been rumours of a Tyson comeback ever since he retired. I don't see why this is any more than that. Of course if it did happen, Holyfield wins easy.

    Tournament of Old *******s:

    Tommy Morrison
    Mike Tyson
    Evander Holyfield
    Andrew Golota
    Francois Botha
    Riddick Bowe

    Who wins in a Super Six style tournament and the prize of the WBF heavyweight title?

    I doubt this would happen at this point. Tyson seems very content to stay retired at the moment.

    Better question would be 'Who makes it out alive!?.......litterally.'

    Seriously? Holyfield has more left than the rest even if he is a shell of his former self. Their combined age is 254 that is scary. I wish they would all retire but as long as they can turn in good performances, whatever the level of opposition, they will carry on.

    sadly, this would probably the most intriguing heavyweight fight right now. just shows you how boring the heavyweight divison is.

    I agree, Tyson could still draw a bigger crowd than anyone currently in the heavyweight division.

    Tough call. Based purely on recent activity, I'd go for a Golota v Holyfield final.

    Given Holy can't punch hard enough to make Golota go into freak-out mode, I think it's a close fight.

    Holy to win a disputed decision, to once again stiff Golota in a title fight....
