    tyson has done a great job of rebuilding his life after some downfalls and finding happiness. no need to suffer uneeded punishment in the ring that may lead to depression

    Mike Tyson needs to get back in the ring


    What for, to mop the canvas?

    He'd only embarrass himself further. Unless he fought some extremely low level club fighters. And even that would be merely for the noveltly factor. After his two failed attempts to comeback, even with C level opponnents, he's convinced..........He'll never do anything more in boxing.

    I'd be interested in watching him train a fighter though. From what I hear he has a deep knowledge of the game and if he could impart the head movement and tenacity he had in the early part of his career it might work out. Doesn't have to be a heavyweight either, since part of Mike's game was speed he might find a more kindred spirit in the lower weight classes.

    I'm a big fan of Tyson's early career. I still think if he had disciplined himself earlier, he could have been champ until he was about 40. I wish it had happened. Tyson knows what it takes to get back in fighting condition and even he know he doesn't have it anymore.

    I love Tyson. But when you see him now he looks like he is actually wearing a fatsuit.

    Actually, he's completely slimmed down after going vegan.

    If you're in the Hall Of Fame, you shouldn't be in the ring (except as a chief second).

    Actually, Tyson as a trainer would be a dream come true for many of us. :think It might be just what the doctor ordered for him, too. His buddy Tapia, as well. Keep them grounded and close to the sport they love, without them having to sully their legacies and shorten their healthy years of remaining life.

    He would have to have a fighter who had the physicality, power, handspeed, as well as upper body movement, in order to see Tyson's apparent knowledge be conveyed and come to fruition.

    You can't have Tyson train someone who can't deliver what he's being taught.

    Disagree.

    Tyson is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the game, not just his own style.

    I was gonna say that Mike has turned Vegan and does no longer look like that 'fatman' u described him as. No. Tyson is happy with KiKi and the kids. He is enjoying life and is venturing into acting. Majority vote on here we would like to see him happy and not under any unwanted pressure in the ring. God Bless Mike Tyson - he is a changed man. Wish him all the success and happiness in the world :)

    All Time Great Mr Mike Tyson:good

    On the subject of Mike, it was awesome during the beginning of the Vitali - Arreola fight, when the camera panned to the celebs in the crowd, which was being shown on the huge screens in the middle of the staples centre, when Stallone & Arnie were shown, a chorus of boos went round the place, and when it panned to Mike, raucus cheering :good

    Mike could live to be 87 years old and you'll still have dipshits like the thread starter saying that he should make a comeback and try another run for the title. :-(
