    While your somewhat right, he has not been the legendary fighter in 15 years though has been the most exciting, his PPV sales is the most of any other heavywieght which would indicate alot of people like to see him fight. When Tyson fought Lewis in 02 it broke PPV sales records for that time, when Tyson fights people watch. I remember bars around my area putting signs outside saying we will be showing the Tyson fight, and this was in july of 04 when he fought williams and in june 05 when he fought Mcbride. He is the most exciting fighter of all time and many would agree with me.

    If Tyson wasn't headed off to the hoosegow, this might be a realistic possibility. Unlike many, I don't object to these aging, washed-up fighters getting in the ring - as long as it's with someone whose skills are every bit as eroded as theirs are.

    Tyson-Morrison fits that bill to a "t."

    Yeah thats what I was trying to say, I guess some people thought I was saying he all of sudden is going to be great again at the ripe age of 41 again. You remember when they use to have them legends of boxing fights, guys like Tim witherspoon, Greg page, and a couple others use to come back and fight in there 40s after they already retired. I know alot people would watch this fight on PPV, people like seeing Tyson fight.

    Don't kid yourself, even those who say THEY'RE not interested know this fight would sell, bigtime, to the average sportsfan - and quite a few nostalgic boxing fans.

    Lemme tell you, if Holyfield wins the title, and Tyson isn't in the joint too long, you can bet a Tyson rematch will one of the fights they consider. Now that fight, even today, would be a PPV bonanza! :nod

    Exactly, Im not saying the die hard boxing fan will jump at the chance to see this fight, but if you ask the average person in the street what fight would you rather see Kessler/Calzaghe or Morrison/Tyson, the first thing they would say is whos Calzaghe, whos Kessler? Most people cant even name 1 of the 4 heavywieght champs, but if you mention Tyson people crazy, at least pittsburgh where I live.

    Mate Tyson and Morrison are my two all time fav boxers for their exciting and brutal style..

    But you claiming no1 knows who kessler and calzaghe are is ridiculous.

    You are american right??

    You do know that the u.s.a is not the only country in the WHOLE WORLD..
