    Some lunatics think a 53 year old Tyson can beat Wilder because he hit some stupid pads fast! If Mike was allowed to weigh 220 but still fight as a cruiser what would his record be over the next five years?

    He would either quit or get KOed.

    Listen I love Mike Tyson but he is done

    I don’t want him to return not even for an exhibition

    Why can't he simply make a meet & greet? Let fans take photos, pay him $200 a piece and that's it. Why throw himself away by fighting in the ring?

    Mike was done in 2002.

    Even then he was a 1 round fighter.

    Tyson shouldn't come back at any weight. Featherweight even.
    53 is too old to fight

    This is what happens when most posters here weren't even born when Tyson was champ....

    Or even when he retired (judging by the lack of intellect we see on the boards).......

    Tyson kos wilder and Joshua in the first round. If you don't have a chin you don't make it out of the first three rounds with even an old Tyson.

    He would have to improve from Kevin McBride or he could go for an IBU or some other trinket

    He's never been knocked out clean, but he wouldn't fair good.
