    only fight old fighters from the 90s, 80s that are still semi active.

    Holyfield
    Moorer
    Tubbs
    Bowe
    Briggs
    Golota
    Mercer
    Botha

    start with a card with Holy doing the same thing, with the worst of the bunch.

    Tyson v. Mercer (maybe 5 mill)
    Holy v. Tubbs

    Then 3 months later...

    Tyson v. Holy (maybe 10 mill)


    Then if Tyson wins, fight Bowe (maybe 5 mill), an overprotected hypejob with a great record like Raphael Butler (maybe 5 mill), and then Briggs. (maybe 15 mill)

    Guys, I know damn well that Tyson is shot, he was shot in 1998, and past prime when he came out of prison, but Briggs is horrible. I dont see Tyson getting caught by his 2 haymakers a round. It would make big money as a battle of two former champions and their both from brooklyn. The fight will be at msg.

    A win over Briggs would bring him any fight he could want, but he should stick to fighting overprotected hypejobs and old fighters like Moorer (i think he has much more left in the tank than tyson, but he may be able to do a tua on moorer) and a Golota rematch.


    Tyson would make at least 50 mill, as long as he doesnt rush himself and fight someone out of his league.

    Briggs would be extremely dangerous for a 42+ Tyson. If they fought this year Briggs would knock him out early. Tyson hasn't trained in years and has had drug problems. In 2005 he was ****, in 2008 he will be worse than ****, he'll be Corey Sanders.

    It's amazing how Tyson grabs the interest of everyone, from the biggest boxing fans to people that don't even watch boxing. He's the biggest draw ever for a reason, everything about him is interesting.
