It is not that Holyfield is too fit. He will be too competitive. He won't be able to resist turning it into a war. And a war is something the two 50 years plus former champs do not need. Frankly, I think Holyfield was helped by PEDs as much as any boxer was. If there is really drug testing and the Holyman cannot juice, he comes into the ring at 180 and gets mauled by Tyson. He is a very competitive guy though and will assuredly try to turn the bout into a war.
Wow this should be a nice fight compared to the stagnate of having Holyfield in there knowing that it might not be safe for both of them if it was Tyson versus holy but I'm assuming Buster can go some rounds without knocking Mike's block off and hopefully Mike can rough him up a little bit too because of his size advantage I mean Buster's the bigger man Tyson hit's like a brick with those body shots. Should be a fun fight mixed with the emotions of the fact that buster shocked the world and people can still hold on to that moment and something good could happen out of it hence an exhibition.
I think the fact that Tyson Jones sold well will have a lot of people coming out for a shot. I hope Mike doesn’t injure himself if he chooses to continue.
Tyson should not do anything more than an exhibition which means no winner. A draw. Buster is 400 + pounds / 29 + stone. He might have trouble getting in the ring. These guys are all old. Too old to fight for real.
Ha ha ha! Actually he became 400 lbs. years ago, got diabetes, almost died... Looks like he found some of the weight he lost.
To get people to buy into a legends PPV the fighters need to show up in shape even for a sparring match they will be having. Buster needs to get in some semblance of shape which quite frankly I dont see happening.
Is Mike even serious with his legends league? I read Lennox is thinking about fighting, and there are others that people wanted to see Mike fight in the 90's. McCall is still out there, Bowe, Holyfield, Douglas, Briggs. What are Mercer and Moorer doing these days? Luis Ortiz is the oldest but freshest of all of them. Let's get a tournament going, and can even invite some of the European champs like Vitali, and SNV.
Douglas refused the rematch in 1990, he had the chance to fight Tyson again in 1999-2000 but refused. This is all talk and i have supreme confidence that he will get embarrassed even in an exhibition
Problem for Buster is Tyson wouldn't have to close the range to land his body shots. Could do it from his stool....
