    Yikes! This shouldn't make me smile.. but here I am! Current state...might have to lean towards The Cannon. Scary to say. Both chins are awaiting a tough shot to crack. But Briggs has kept himself in better shape for a while. His height advantage may also be a big factor. Hmm..

    Briggs ud, if it happens itll be sparring. Briggs knows Tyson is done.

    Shannon's last opponent Zarate (iirc) would probably beat present Tyson

    Tyson would blow him up. But his haters will deny this. Tyson has a lot of haters and I cant even call them boxing fans.

    Its impossible not to be a fan of Mike Tyson if you're a boxing fan. This guy was setting the ring on fire.

    Power and strength can sometimes take absolutely forever to leave a man with age. There are 50 year old guys out there that could crush your hand in half with ease during a handshake, but get winded walking up a flight of stairs and I could beat them in a foot race while I run backwards.

    Briggs and Tyson probably dont punch "as" hard as they once did. But they are still hitting (especially bare knuckled) really damn hard.

    Weird...even weirder is that Shannon Briggs (on his real Twitter account, the same one Briggs has used for years now) actually retweeted the 'fake' David Feldman's original announcement yesterday. :thinking:

    I would run, Iron Mike not catching me!

    What can I say, I have morals when choosing who to like/dislike in the sporting world.

    Considering this bout involves Briggs, will there be drug testing or will Mike have to dust off his fake *****?

    I’m glad to see this bareknuckle nonsense was fake


    I hope Tyson pursues a legitimate, older come back opponent, like Holy, McCall, or Briggs in a boxing match


    not this bareknuckle nonsense

    Terrible idea, Mike is half baked most of the day, and his power badly dissipated in the waning days of his career, and yeah his chin is better than advertised, but his stamina will still be an issue, so Briggs, who is a gym rat and still fairly active for a 48 year old, will wait him out, play it safe for a round or two, Tyson will gas, and then this will happen.

    The battle of Brownsville heavyweights - I feel that Briggs will beat Tyson as he is better physical shape.

    That is the stunning claim by ex-world heavyweight champ Briggs 48. If they do meet who will win and will it go the full distance? It will be an exibition bout according to Briggs.
