    jacked up. He's so loaded up on HGH right now it's crazy.

    Enjoy the fun around Tyson right now. It's nice to see him fit and in a good head space. I'll always contend that Muhammad Ali being a dottering, emotionless shell unable to speak for 40 years did monumental damage to the sport, in the United States in particular.

    It's nice to have former great world champs alive, healthy, able to speak and still making headlines because of how good they look. That's not always the case.

    Lewis, Tyson, Mayweather, Larry Holmes, George Foreman, Leonard, Hopkins, Oscar, both Klitschkos, even Holyfield, they are all good to have around. But they don't need to be fighting.

    We don't need any more blind, brain damaged, wheelchair-bound "greats" in their 40s and 50s.[/QUOTE]

    Ya'll must have forgotten it's an exhibition with two guys over the hill with inflated egos and we shouldn't have to pay for this it needs to be on PBS.

    You're clueless. 90's Tyson lost, not prime Tyson.

    If he comes back and beats Fury and Joshua then he is the greatest heavyweight of all time. I would say the odds of him doing this is very low. LOL.

    If the fight is on PBS and preempts Lawrence Welk I'm going to be pissed.

    Beating Fury, AJ, or even Wilder would give him a significant bump. Anything else would just put him in the record books for like... forever

    You'd have to any man picking up a belt at 54 haze to be in a all time list never mind that it's Tyson

    In the unlikely scenario that this happened, he'd have the distinction of being the youngest HW champion as well as the oldest HW champion.
    That sounds like a top 3 career.

    Disclaimer: Tyson would get stopped brutally by someone in the top 30

    Tyson can beat fury, wilder and joshua easily just for the fact that they have no experience fighting a peekaboo fighter, tyson has old man strength right now aside from the possible hgh usage. All it takes is one gazelle punch from tyson and the 3 can start doing the bambi dance.
